Question of the Day: What is a fun fact about you?
After a trip to the dog park last week where on hand had completely white/yellow finger tips, I have self diagnosed myself with Reynaud's. Seriously that was not fun so I can't imagine having that all the time when getting cold!
ReplyDeleteOne fun fact about me is similar to yours actually. My first car was also a 1997 Ford but it was an expedition. It was a friend's car that my Dad bought and kept for my siblings and I when we started driving. When it finally died we realized it cost my dad about $0.97 a day to have it which is crazy for how much he paid and the little work he did to it.
Reynaud's is apparently very common so you actually might have it! I finally went to a doctor last year for it, hoping that maybe it was fixable, but unfortunately it really isn't :/ Mine happens to me at such random times. Like my hands were cold but fine while scraping frost off my car this morning but will turn white within seconds of being in the frozen section of a grocery store haha.
DeleteThat is crazy to think about the cost per day for your car! Did it last through all your siblings? My brother ended up buying my car off me and then sold it to his friend about a year ago. I think he still has it, too!
Mine isn't that bad. It's more likely poor circulation honestly. But it was the weirdest thing last week! I even took a video and showed Alex when he got home lol.
DeleteNo it didn't. It lasted for my older brother and partially me. The brake line rotted through and it just wasn't worth fixing for us. That's crazy his friend might still have it!
