Why: Creative types need each other, writing is a lonely kinda business.

What: Are you interested in joining a group that supports your work(s) in progress? To talk about the process, frustration and great American novel? No critiquing unless you ask, this is
more of a support group where we start off by writing on a topic and then talking about it. Going around the room exploring topics. Casual, supportive. Must have sense of humor and writing materials.

Where: Location based on how many respond. Crazy Wisdom tea room is an idea.

Here's the deal: I need a new battery for my 98 Chevy Lumina... if you have ever had this type of vehicle, you'll know how stupid the engineering is under the hood: the battery is underneath the washer fluid reservoir and a support bar. (The fuse box is under there, too, which is also very helpful.) This makes it near-impossible to jump, nevermind actually replacing the dang thing.

Anyway, I've checked with Murray's, Auto Zone, and Batteries Plus... they all say that they don't do "difficult" installations for batteries.

Anyone else have a car with "difficult" battery locations? Is there anywhere that will not only sell me a battery, but be willing to bust out a socket wrench and actually help me put the thing in?

If you know of an auto store who would help a girl out, or a trustworthy autoshop who won't charge me a ridiculous amount for this, let me know. Luckily I have some leeway with the break...

Thanks, internet friends!

I am adopting a lovely stray after searching all known sources for a report of this one being lost. Would like to find a good cat vet close to north Ann Arbor, or at least somewhere in Ann Arbor to get her checked out and use regularly after that. Recommendations and why you like them would be greatly appreciated.
