This is my kind of story!
So I work at an auto-part store and today I had the most amazing thing happen.
So this old lady comes in and I greet her and ask if she needs any help. Well her car battery turned out to be bad and she needed a new one. I looked it up and it cost $110 after turning in her old one. She agrees and I go grab it, I ring it up and with the $15 core charge it comes out to around $136.
She slides her debit card and it gets declined. She kind of sighs and she gets out her credit card and it is declined again.
I can see she is almost in tears so I decide to remove the core charge in good faith that she will bring the old battery in and I take 10% off the purchase. She is very thankful and we…

Calen. I wrote a response to your story that hasn’t shown up. Also I’ve tried to “like” it three times and they always disappear. Hope the fourth time is the charm. Such a touching story…http://judydykstrabrown.com/2015/08/26/sixteen-the-combiners-excerpt/

Was it supposed to be on here, Judy? I’m having trouble getting pingbacks from people. Was it a pingback?

I think my comments and likes are not getting recorded..perhaps it is some problem with my connection. For the past two weeks, I’ll record “Like” and then when I next go to my reader I see it hasn’t been recorded. I’ve tried doing it both before and after I go to the actual page and I’m having trouble with both. Sometimes if the post is just a photograph, I’ll hit “Like” without going to the actual page and I thought perhaps if you aren’t on the site long enough, they don’t record the like. But it happens even when I go to the page and have been there a long time to read the post. I’m unsure whether I did a pingback..If I send a link does it automatically pingback? At any rate, I think this is my problem, not yours. Just frustrating when one writes a really long comment and it says it has sent and then it is lost. Ah WordPress. Gotta love it. Gotta hate it sometimes.

I didn’t get a pingback from you for anything. Did you write it on your blog with the link to here on it somewhere? Or did you leave it on here as a comment? LOVED the poem, btw! Sassy!

http://judydykstrabrown.com/2015/08/26/sixteen-the-combiners-excerpt/ This would have been the link I left, but I take it this is the poem you’ve already read. But don’t worry, I’m having this problem with other sites as well. Perhaps I’m not waiting long enough for them to post…

Bran told me about it. I think our world is spiraling into hell a bit more every day. But then I read stories like this one and think DON’T GIVE UP HOPE!
