So back when we had the "last minute party", that was the day our van quit working. But we are so broke we can't afford to get it fixed.  Well, today we had it looked at, the fuel pump is shot.  $300 for a new one, plus labor.  Well, we picked up a used one for $65. at least it has a 90 warranty.  Let's hope it all works and we can get the van going.  So we are looking for pennies in the sofa, as we don't want to touch our D.C. money.  I'm sure it will all work out.
