'Out Of Gas'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
My last BPAL order
What is BPAL?
Anybody want a baby? Mal decided last night to wake up every two hours, starting at 1 am. By 6 am he was squawking and gritching so loudly I had to bring him downstairs so that the DH, who is control officer for several congressmen in town, could get any sleep. And I can't nap today, so yay, back to life on 4 hours of sleep.
Anybody want a baby?I rent really really well. But I swear, I give them back... It's my thing.
What ships are in NYC today, Hil?
Thwump
Whyfore thwump, Daniel?
No! Not thwumpage!
Why's Daniel thwumping?
I just got back home from driving two hours to a place where a guy had a van that looked promising as a way to get Andi moved here.
We've been trying to find the money and alternate ways of moving her here, and the van would have been the thing, even if it meant I had to drive it down to Arizona.
I got to where the van was and the van sucked. Rusted out and underpowered, no way it would make it there. Cracked windshield, bad exhaust. Just bad.
So I went to make the drive home 120 miles.
And the transmission on my car went out.
So a few hours later, I'm home. Not only that, but since it was over the 100 mile AAA tow limit, I had to pay an extra $70.
What makes it worse, is that i just repaired the exhaust on my car on saturday. Had the manifold pulled and worked on and new pipe for the y-pipe to the muffler.
Add on top of that the fact that my credit card company decided that my single maxed out card (from being unemployed) was not getting enough respect and upped my card rate to 20%, even though I've never missed a minimum payment when unemployed. They also won't help me out by reducing the rate for paying off for hardship because I don't make enough money for that. Go figure.
The same reasoning is happening at my bank, where I can't get a home equity loan, because my payments would be more than they think I should be able to pay. So far, my brothers haven't offered to assist me financially. even a small loan would have been appreciated.
I'm trying to be a responsible human being, I pay my debts, I don't miss payments, and I don't squander money foolishly.
And above all Don't want to suck Andi in to my financial problems.
I was hoping to have all my finances squared away and reasonable before she gets here. now I'm not sure how I'm going to afford to get here here, much less as soon as our hearts want it.
Sigh. Now I have to check out transmissions to replace mine. Oh joy.
I'm sorry Daniel. Talk about being nibbled to death by ducks, albeit large and ferocious ducks.
carnivorous ducks
have you talked to someone like buccs? could they offer some help?
