$3 from Walmart

Prepare to duck!!!

No, I don't hate her either. But I do dislike her.

Like you said, she is a ditz and in many of her interviews she came across like an airhead.

Plus, I just can't stand her voice at all. It's like nails on a chalkboard to me.

I don't really trust any politician and that includes Obama, but I would rather have someone I can't trust as President than a complete ditz like her. Just my opinion.

Oh, please no!

Not her..

All that's known is that Anchor Bay has the domestic rights to The Open Road and the May plans was to release it theatrically in the late summer.

For those that want to buy it, Walmart has them in stock for just $9.96.

Well this is the summer movie season. Studios want to make/release films that will draw in the primary audience that goes to summer movies. Teenagers and young males.

That target audience, for the most part, aren't too interested in seeing deep, emotional or dramatic films. They want to see comedies, action films or in general escapist films. Basically they want to have some fun at the movies and not see "reality" type films.

Being a 40+ year old male I still enjoy mindless action, escapist movies and I don't plan on stopping anytime soon. There's nothing wrong with enjoying these kind of movies at all. I still enjoy a good "substance" movie from time to time.

These types of movies have been made since Jaws came out in 1975 and will continue to do so as long as it's still making money for the studios.

Lucky indeed that it was still under warranty.

Usually things break down right after the warranty expires and it's at your expense to replace/fix it.

Glad everything worked out with the car.

Oh yeah.

If you can you should really have the alternator checked. You can install a new battery and everything is fine for a while and the same thing happens again. If the alternator isn't working and isn't charging the battery then the battery will just drain and drain of its energy.

I'm sure that you wouldn't want that to happen again.

So I suggest get the alternator checked.

Some parts stores such as Auto Zone will do this for free.

It sounds like either it's a bad battery or the alternator is bad.

The only way to check is to have both tested.

Hopefully you can drive the car in to have it checked.

How old is the battery?

Ok, when you were driving back was any of the idiot lights on, especially the battery indicator light?

If the battery doesn't hold a charge there are usually two possibilities. The battery or the alternator. A battery can really range in price nowadays. Depending on the size and the cranking amps.  Some can cost close to $100.

If you get a new battery and you have the same problem then it could be the alternator. Which if you can get a rebuilt one that will cost you close to another $100 as well. If you know a mechanically inclined friend than you can save a whole bunch on labor costs. If not, you may have to take it in which could cost you lots more.
