    I found myself with a little issue, and need help! I tried getting it done with people I know, but I guess I know a lot of flakers, because it's not happening. I thought i'd try reaching out to the good people of the WS blog.

    I have a car not working right now. It had some issues, but I used a work car and so haven't needed to drive/immediately repair it. Meanwhile, I moved and found it wouldn't start. Tags are expired since I didn't drive it, and I won't be renewing until I get it driveable. On my income, it's slow going. Doing repairs on my own, it's even slower. I got it towed to my new place, but too many cars parked too close, so we couldn't maneuver it into the driveway.

    It's been a couple of weeks, and even though it's in front of my house, I guess I'm pissing some neighbors off (sorry!), because the city got a complaint, so I got a lovely ticket and a notice to move it or it will be towed. Monday. 3/1.

    I've been trying to coordinate with my jerk friends to help me get it into my driveway since I moved. Needless to say, it hasn't happened yet. Had some set up for tomorrow. They flaked just before I saw the notice.

    Now it's urgent. I need it moved THIS WEEKEND!!! It will get towed on Monday.

    Long story short........ basically I need 3 people to help push the heavy behemoth the 40-60 feet to my drive. Its uphill a bit. I can be a pusher if 1 of the 3 want to steer. I may be able to wrangle another person, so 2 minimum, but 3 would be peachy!

    I'm a teacher and a nanny... so no big bucks here... meaning I have no cash for your trouble.
    BUT....
    I have a case of beer sitting in the fridge for you. And a pizza in the freezer to top it off.
    OR... a few hours of babysitting???
    OR... pet sitting/walking???
    OR... a couple of (now) rusty bikes I have no covered spot for???
    OR... something you want a nice drawing of???
    OR... a big ol' pot of homemade chicken noodle soup??
    OR... I may have a bottle of wine
    OR... you may be able to wrestle away a $20 certificate to Full Tilt (in White Center) from me.

    Pretty please? With sugar on top? And a cherry?

    I'll update here if I get some helpers.
    Many many thanks in advance!!!!

    YAY!!!!!

    I would have updated sooner but had to help a friend in some emotional need....

    Even when some friends let you down.... I knew I'd be able to get some good people from the WSB!!!!!

    I've got two replies willing to lend a hand. Many, many, many, many thanks!!!!!

    Thanks JanS for the bumps!

    And I finally get to say thanks to WSB for creating such an awesome community! I knew there was good reason for me to fall in love with(and move to) WS after visiting(and a couple of years after moving to WA)... but WSB cemented that feeling for sure. I am a bit addicted to it, I admit.... though slowly trying to be more of a contributor than a reader....

    Anyhow, many thanks again.

    I love WS!!!

  6. Glad to hear it. I was going to send the link via Twitter and FB - I do that sometimes with interesting forum links - but re-read this and thought, "if they're reaching out 'to the good people of the WS Blog,' that may not necessarily include the good people of our FB and Twitter friend lineup ... :)
