Christopher's birthday is coming up at the
beginning of January so I've been looking
for ideas for a cake to make.
I thought this Firetruck cake was cute
and somewhat easy to make.
There's a how to video with it also from Betty Crocker.
I'm not saying this is what I'm gonna make
as I am still getting ideas.

2:00pm
Back from doing all our running around.
Got the plates transferred to our vehicle
and they didn't charge me a late fee thank goodness.
If anyone has answers to my question below
I would love to hear it!!
This is in regards to the car we just purchased
and I wish I had some answers.
How is it that the paper work the car lot gave
me said I paid $2599 for the car and paid $176 in taxes
BUT the title the car lot had done said on it
that we paid $1500 as purchase price and
paid $101 in taxes???
We traded in our vehicle and got $1500 for it.
And we paid $1099 cash so between
the both was $2599.
I AM SO CONFUSED RIGHT NOW!!
Trying to find answers online is making my head spin.
This is what I was able to find and my story of this
recent car purchase.
We bought this car at a car lot, a fancy car lot at that
with high dollar sports or luxury cars.
The dealer NEVER once spoke of this car as being
a salvage car!!! Which would have SERIOUSLY
affected our decision with purchasing this vehicle
if we had been told that ahead of time!!
We completed
the sale and assumed that this car was a regular car,
meaning not a salvage.
I just signed paper work and didn't look it over too
thoroughly as I thought it was just regular stuff I had
gone through before when buying a "regular" car.
We noticed in all the paperwork
a day or two later
that when it asked body type, it said "rebuild".
I wasn't quite sure what that meant but
had my suspicions.
And sure enough when I picked up the title
30 days later
it said salvage rebuild!!
This is so unfair
and I told the owner that he was shady for doing
me that way. I told him he should of told us up
front that the vehicle was a salvage instead of
sneaking it into my paperwork. Oh he said he
did tell me.
I said, YOU DID NOT! (I got a little loud and upset with him when he said that. I don't like a lier!) or else I would
have probably run from this lot!!
I am so tired of his lies and smooth talking
to get out of things!!
I even have my husband and 2 children as
witnesses to verify he never told us up front!!
Now they say it's a done deal and they are not liable
for anything because the paperwork said and I quote
"rebuild" on it for body type.
It did NOT say SALVAGE TITLE on it like
the title does.
Shouldn't a car lot have to tell you up front when considering
a car if it's a salvage car.
What is a salvage car?
A car that is a total loss and has
been compensated by an insurance company
for it's loss.
A salvage car is not worth as much as an identical
car with a regular title!!
What is a salvage rebuild. The exact car as I mentioned
above that has been put back together
again and made road worthy.
Yes it would have to pass inspection from what
I read to get a title for it.
But that does not guarantee it's safety in the long run.
NOWHERE on my paperwork from the car lot
does it say salvage title!! It says rebuild and that's it
and that is under body type.
Some notes I took from the internet.
------------------------------------------
from Lawyers.com
.Is there a statue of Limitations for suing a small car lot for nondiscloser of Salvage Title on Vechile?
---------------------------------------------------------------
So what the heck do I do now as I feel like
we were cheated at this car lot?
Other concerns-
The owner of the car lot said he would replace
and fix the cluster gauge on the car.
It has been over a month and still no cluster
gauge.
He also told us he would check out the
power mirrors that weren't working along with something
else that I can't remember at the moment.
I keep reading that a verbal agreement from
a car lot salesman is a binding contract!
Plus I also now have a receipt where it clearly states
they will fix this! I even said I would take the cluster gauge
and put it in myself instead of waiting around on them
to fix it. The owner of the car lot said he would
personally deliver it to my house.
Yeah right!
So do we have a legal case here or not?
Who do we contact to get some answers?
Do we take the title to the title place and
ask them if the paperwork and title should
say two different prices & taxes.
Someone said to ask the car lot why it is different.
I'm not asking them! They'll just give me the run
around and more lies.
We do worry if that we could take action
against them that they (or someone else that they
know) could come to our house and cause problems
whether causing damage to our home or vehicles
and things of the sort.
I am getting a migraine at the moment just trying
to think about all this. We have bought and sold
many cars over the years and NEVER had a problem
like this before.
Anyone have a family or friend lawyer?
I really could use some answers right about now!
------------------------------------------------
Happy thought!!
Fed Ex man came and knocked on the door,
I got me a nice Christmas present from Downy!!
Doing happy dance.
Me and Tony was literally jumping up and down
for joy, high fiving one another.
We both had goosebumps!.

WHAT'S FOR SUPPER
Corned Beef Wonton Dumpling Soup
Yeah I made this up also, lol.
Trying to use what I had on hand.
I was finally able to find some corned
beef in a can, yeah!
Of all places I found it at Big Lots!
I got out my wonton wrappers
and placed a 1/2 tablespoon of corned
beef in the middle. dipped finger in water
and ran around edges. Then brought up
the four corners of the wontons to the
middle and pinched to seal.
I boiled them up.
I had gotten that far then wondered what I was going
to make with them so started looking to see
what I had sitting on the shelf. I then spotted
a couple cans of Campbell's Select Harvest soup.
1 can beef & vegetable (kids) & 1 can french onion (us).
So I divided up each can into two bowls.
Then added the dumplings and mixed into the soup.
Not too bad for something just thrown together!
Now mind you I have never use wontons before
and picked them up because they were
a manager special and wanted to try something new.
For 4 bowls of soup I only used a half package
of wontons.
1 can corned beef $2.00
1/2 pkg wontons .75 cents
2 cans soup $1.50
TOTAL COST $4.25
4 servings @ $1.06 a serving

Just got done making my
Ginger Lime Macaroons.
I've never made macaroons before so this was my first :0)
I am now waiting for them to cool then
will melt down some white chocolate
and dip the bottoms of them in it.
I can say this, I am not a big fan of coconut unless
it is toasted. Before they were baked I was nibbling
it out of the bowl, lol, the lime in it was awesome!

Non Disclosure of Salvage Vechicle title
.Is there a statue of Limitations for suing a small car lot for nondiscloser of Salvage Title on Vechile?
Well, a vehicle purchase from a car lot generally involves a written contract.
So if the written contract does not say salvage title on the contract and you later get the title that says salvage on it, I'd say you have a cause of action for a breach of contract lawsuit.
The SOL is 4 years. It's also 4 years for an oral contract. But if you bought a car on an oral contract it'd be your word against the dealer's that he didn't tell you about the salvage title.
.I have nothing in my contract or paperwork that discloses salvage title..---------------------------------------------------------------
So what the heck do I do now as I feel like

-----------------------------------------------------------Raisin Baking Tip
Soak Cooking Raisins in Liquid
Whenever a recipe calls for raisins, before adding them, I always soak them in a liquid that goes with the recipe. Praline liqueur or rum for bread pudding, apple or orange juice for cookies, breads, etc. This adds flavor, produces a moister dish and for a few pennies the raisins look so much more extravagant.
-------------------------------------------Still taking notes about salvage titles
.
A salvage car is one that has been involved in a major accident and been deemed to not be worth repairing by an insurance company. Once an insurance company declares a vehicle, it pays the maximum market value of the vehicle to the insured and then disposes of the vehicle by auction it off to the highest bidder.
The vehicle is then issued a special type of title by the states where the vehicle is registered. A salvage title vehicle is often difficult insurer, has a stigma that is always attached to it and is worth nowhere near as much as than comparable vehicle that has a clean title -- even if the vehicle has been restored to 100% operating condition.
While most state and federal laws require a used car dealer or private seller of a vehicle with a salvage title to disclose the fact to the buyer, some unscrupulous sellers did not. So, here is some on common scam car scams associated with salvage titles that you should be aware of.
