Before you change the battery, make sure the one you are replacing is bad! A lot of times cleaning the terminals will solve the problem.
(((((Lola)))))
Wear clothes you don't care about while you are messing with the battery!
Is trying to jump start it for over an hour good enough? LOL, it's the battery.
Im still standin better than I ever did looking like a true survivor feeling like a little kid Im still standin after all this time and Im picking up the pieces of my life without you on my mind..
I initiated the contact after the week, but just because I needed to give him the money for the health insurance. After that, it was usually business related, but ultimately the conversations were getting longer. The real turning point was when he was at my house that night for 1.5 hours, and the next week for an hour, and we just talked. No R talk at all, (that has been since the end of June). But we have also started joking around a bit.
It has gotten to the point where we both initiate contact now. H called initially and asked what I was doing. I was walking back from the store, and told him. He asked me what store I was at, and I told him. He called back because he said he would, and asked if I was almost home. He was actually picking up D12's prescription for me. XH couldn't be bothered (he is useless). So I asked H if he could seeing as I still have no car. BFF Rose says she cannot take me to get the battery until the weekend (she is pouting again).
I think right now, H and I are pulling strength from each other. We are in a difficult situation, and somehow that has managed to pull us closer. I am not willing to jeopardize that in any way. I realize that he may pull back again just to see what happens, and although I hate it when he does that, I am prepared to let him think about it. In the car yesterday on the way to the BK appointment, he was venting. He suddenly turned to me and apologized for griping about work. I told him to feel free to vent as much as he liked. He said thank you, and then proceeded to continue to vent!
I think we are really becoming friends again. I like that. I have missed that friendship that we shared, and am so glad that it is back. I don't think I would have made it through this without all of you.

But dirty terminals can make jumping it really hard too.....
Lordie...it has been so long that I wouldn't remember what jumping felt like!!! LMAO!!!
We checked the terminals. They were clean. The car sat in the garage since May and has not been started.
It's the battery.

Thanks Michelle...but I was reading back and watched how many times you and Jeff pulled me up!!! Especially there in the beginning...I can't believe looking back how much of a mess I was. I am so pleased to have come this far. Although my life has fallen apart, so to speak, I am still in a better place now than I was all those months ago.
Next month will be a year, and I look back on the year with no regrets. I have learned so much and grown so much. In the last two months, H and I have made so much headway, and though I still don't know what the future holds, I am finally in a place where I know I can handle it no matter what. I still don't know how I got here...but I am loving every minute of it!!!
