Yeah, the universe apparently is in no mood for giving me any breaks. The port engine failed on the sea test. No boat sale. Just the latest in a series of bad crap. Really discouraged. DH is in tears. Stress is killing us both.
Wow, you've really mastered the power of positive giving-up.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

That sucks, Laura.

Ugh, Laura, I'm sorry the sale didn't work out.

It is just so discouraging. We poured a bunch of cash into fixing up the thing to sell it to raise cash to finish the house to sell it. And now we are out all the money and effort and time, and are further behind.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Oh, God, Laura, I've been there, in that place where every chance you take to try to get just a little ahead twists around and puts you further back than before, and it just chews you up. Awesome people like you and your DH deserve so much better.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
How thoroughly demoralizing, Laura. I wish things would get better soon for you.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Oh, Laura, what a disappointment. I'm so sorry!

Ugh Laura, I'm sorry.

Ok, in some sort of minor miracle the couple is still interested in the boat. The A/C failed, the generator failed, and the port engine failed, but they are still interested if it can be fixed quickly. Like maybe the electrical got loose with pulling it out and back into the water on the fork lift or something. The couple flew down with the intention of taking the thing up the intracoastal and navigating all the way to Rhode Island! DH is on his way to the marina to see if he and the mechanic can get it right, quickly. Oh please, please, please.

Oh, man, fingers triple crossed, Laura.
