Need Assistance

Hi Hmkoct, I am positive of who I would call...I would definately call the police...because I would think and hope that once I get the assistance of the police any other calls I need to make I would have access to a phone to make other calls... Iam not sure if 911 existed 15 years ago...

I guess it would depend on where I was exactly... like if I were in a state where I knew some friends and they lived closeby I would call them. Otherwise I guess it would be my husband I would be calling because I know he'd come help me for sure.

That depends on where i am. If i'm close to home then i'd call my boyfriend as i know he'd come help me. If i was close to my hometown, I'd call my mom - because if i was there im 14 hours from home and i know mom would be there to help me sooner than my boyfriend would. 3 years ago if you asked this question my immediate answer would be i'd call my dad. But I cant do that anymore.

That depends on what state and how far away. Other than that, my dad because he happens to be the closest available family at the moment. I wouldn't trust anyone, but family or a good friend to fix the problem. Anyone else might try to rip me off.

I'm not sure who i'd call other than the one i knew could help me the best and call them because i new they could help me the best. If i was married back then i'd have called my hubby probably or my mom because they could help the best and im closest with them.

I think I should call the shrink. Why would I want to go to such a place anyway if it really happened. I think the shrink will talk me out of it or make me accept the place is not as bad as it is. Who would you call? Ghostbusters?

Wow!!! Back before cell phones, and probably back when someone there might even gladly help you without trying to charge you, or be afraid to help you, and back when it was safe to call from almost anywhere. Those really were the days. Well, this is actually right before I met my husband, so I could never have called him. I would have called my Sister like I usually did when I was going to be stranded somewhere.

Man, I miss the days where phone calls only cost 25 cents. Have you ever heard the song, "Here's a Quarter (Call Someone Who Cares)"? I love that song. I would call my dad. I not only think he's capable of coming to get me, but pretty much able to fix whatever is wrong with the car.

My boyfriend, because I know he will always come and help no matter what.

My husband because he would either come and get me or send someone to come and get me, and he would probably bring someone that could help get my car back to safety. My first car broke down all the time when I was 17. We didn't have cell phones back then. I had to walk a long distance to a gas station and call collect to my parent's house once, and another time it was really cold out, and my car broke down on the way home from work one night. It was Christmas time and I was in front of some houses. I picked the most brightly lit house thinking there must be a nice family there and asked them if they could call my dad to come get me. I was lucky they were nice people and were very concerned about me.

As said depends on where I'm at, but also who is with me. If it were just me and the kids then I'd call the closest person to help. If that were the police then they would be the first ones called. If had my boyfriend with me, we'd figure it out or make the best of it. Sounds like an adventure to me!

Fifteen years ago like today I would call my hubby. I can depend on him to get me up and running real quick since one of many hats he wears is a good mechanic. There is no one else I know that could fix it like him.

Thank you so much for this discussion I have phone numbers of 3 car repair shops here, so i will make a call to them; i will call my son too, who will come with a mechanic if needed.

If I pretend the old days(before 15years ago) ... then probably at that I was around years of age. so at that time I would call to my parents only, because at that time I had only one best friend and he was in another country.
