Thank you, KJG! It is going to be expensive for me to buy (and keep) a car, but it is a gamble I HAVE to take. It is the only way I'm going to spend any real amount of time with my son that I am trying to get physical custody of. It is the only way I'm going to find additional income. Sometimes one needs to spend money to make money, and that is my story right now. If I don't make the best of this small window of opportunity, more of the same crap that has been my life in the past year, will conintue to happen.
