2. My dear redwitch!
I'll just hop on a plane, and be right there!

I wish I could help...

5. Yay! A big hunky guy, just what I need!
Actually our neighbor came over, thank goodness. Kitties are all set, I have chocolate and vodka, life, while not good, is bearable.

7. If it's snow some old rugs or towels under the tires!
But they only work for a little while. Then repeat, repeat...

8. Tomorrow I am going to cover the ice with ashes from the woodstove.
Traction. Gotta have it.

12.  A good plan!
Anything sandy is good. Kitty litter tends to dissolve, and track everywhere! Salt is hard on the lawn, and small quantities dissappear into the ice.

9. I would if I were in the vicinity.
I used to push start my 1972 Gran Torino 351CJ/4 speed by myself using the grade of my parents driveway. But for you it's just another empty promise from a man.

10. I thank you for the kind thought.
We got the car unstuck with the help of our neighbor. Can you just imagine if we(DU) all lived in the same town? I would post about being stuck and you would come to help along with 200 other people. :-)

11. Keep a 40# bag of cheapo kitty litter ready for just an emergency!
We usually keep one bag in each trunk during the winter.
