yes, I read and care too! So your own business is in construction, I take it? My husband and I ran our own small company in that same line, and yes it is difficult when work slows down. I hope you are being very proactive with ads on Craigslist, the paper, flyers, etc? Maybe approach some apartment buildings in the area?
Your sister sounds horrible and certainly not acting like a Christian. Try to ignore it, if possible. I would go and get my car, if it were me, cause that's just crazy to leave it there. Good luck and I hope things start looking up soon!
