Car Trouble

 Tommy's legs, one especially, are in bad shape. They look red and almost burned, blisters all over. Today when I went to AFC Just before we went, I told him we were going to have the np look at his legs. He would not let me put Eucirin on them, what I was told to put on mine. Mine are almost well. She told him to use it too. I suppose he will.

We got out about 4:30 in plenty of time to get home before dark. The car would not start and had strange clicking noise. There was a notice about the emergency brake not working. So, I said to call insurance. The claim number had messages that led to a different message. Do you had Medicare and Medicaid? No. Are you over 60? No. So, they had a message about a safety id. 

Finally, Tommy got a person. I have never heard him yell into the phone. He could not hear person and was telling her to slow down, speak up, speak plainly. When I took the phone, I understood. She was in Philippines. Women on the call lines there are very hesitant to speak up, have very soft, submissive voices. 

We kept calling other numbers we could find. All calls led to these same numbers. We called 911. policewoman came, called someone to come with a starter/jumper box, but Tommy refuses to keep it ours in the car. ??? We always have a need for it here, he says. ??? So we sat for over an hour begging for agent. By the time we were on the road, it was well after dark. We arrived home safely, no thanks to our insurance. AND, we were sent overseas for help.

Eventually, we were sitting in a dark parking lot. We were only 6 miles from home, but it was unnerving. 

This was Traveler's Insurance, worst I have ever had. What insurance do you use? I need to find another company.  

This 53F weather is harsh. And, will be lower later. We did not buy this car for features. However, heated seats are nice.
