I'm not normally one to throw much of my personal life up here in like the last decade, but I've hit a pretty mucked up point. Tonight, our truck broke down, the sole mode of transportation that we have. Spent the last 2 hours trying to deal with getting it started, towed, and nada, because it's transmission locked, and all wheel drive, we're going to have to have it towed on a full lift tomorrow. The truck itself won't start, but the battery is fine, the entire electrical system is just not getting any juice.

Now, one of our friends who was out there with us asked if there was anyone we could call to help us out with a ride or anything...and unfortunately, no, there isn't...you see, we -were- that person for everyone else in our geographically close friends, the ones with a vehicle, the one people could call.

In and of itself, this is pretty bad, as I'm not a mechanic, but, now to make it worse, we have to either a) get it towed back here, and figure out what we're going to do to get it to a shop, or b) tow it to a shop in the morning, and then figure out how the heck to pay for base diagnostics ($150 just to run diag, to see what's wrong), and repair, which we have no idea what it's going to cost.

We have virtually no funds at this point in the month, and we still have to figure out a way to grocery shop and everything in the meantime (the shopping was supposed to happen last week, but got delayed, by one of the aforementioned friends who wanted to go with us to shop).

My closest guess at this point is that this whole endeavor is going to run around 500 bucks, and if anyone out there knows anyone who might be able to help out...please pass this along...and if you feel like even contributing a couple of bucks here or there...
