When life hands you lemons

I've stopped making lemonade. I've moved on to making room deodorizer instead.

I just got back from taking my car to the dealership to find out what that interesting noise is it makes when I press the accelerator. My something or other valve is kaput and the part will have to be ordered. It should be in "sometime next week". The something or other valve has to do with the fuel system and driving with it broken shouldn't cause any damage to the car, but I will get really rotten gas mileage until it is replaced.

Really rotten gas mileage? You mean the rotten gas mileage this particular model gets isn't really rotten to begin with? Gosh, who'd have thunk it?

Ha, I almost forgot the good news. The valve is covered under my extended warranty so it won't cost me an arm and two legs to replace. -- See, room deodorizer.
