Yea, thanks Robin.
Good news! One of the body shops I went to semi-offered me a job to do detailing with him and he also said hed pay me 10-12.00/hour and teach me how to do minor body work as well. Anyways, along with that, I met with the other involved party today about my little "incident", and the lady's husband told me he wants me to go to his body man and get an estimate. He said whatever he quotes me, that he'll give me 1/2 of the money since he believes his wife who doesn't think she hit me, and he believes me as well. Im more than ok with this as I was honestly expecting to get nothing from this whole mess. Im hoping I can take the 200.00 or so bucks to the body shop where I might get a job, and just tell him to teach me how to do it and give him that money for it. So all in all, not a bad day, as it certainly could have been MUCH worse. Im really thankful that the other party was an elderly couple with the husband being VERY nice and more than accommodating about the whole thing. If this had happened with anyone else, Id be looking at footin' the bill myself. So yea, Im quite happy with the end result. Thats all for me for now.

Holy piss. Me and Spencer just got done working out, and I did his workout today on lower body/legs. My quads/hammies/calves, etc have never been as sore as they are now. I feel great and all, but holy cow, I can barely go up stairs right now. It for real takes me a solid minute to make it up 2 small flights of stairs. I dread the pain the morning is going to bring. Oh well, no pain no gain.

It's good to hear you're going to recoup some of the cost on the accident Matt. 
That's pretty unusual in this day and age in a situation like this. He sounds like a nice guy (also sounds like he knows his wife is perfectly capable of doing something like this).

Haha, I agree on both accounts. It really was VERY generous of him to go this far for me. He could tell I was being painfully honest, and didn't want to not settle the difference(s) somehow. Anyways Robin, when I get my new diffusers, when do you wanna have a go at some cooking?
