Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I'm so glad everybody is okay. You need massive hugs, msbelle.
StY crashed a friend's car the first week he had his lisence. Our insurance paid, but our premium tripled.
Karma exists, though, because one of his "friends" totaled StY's motorcycle, and never paid a dime.
Eek, Mac and msbelle!! Glad he's safe but oh man!!
I am awake at 5am. Stupid cramps. Stupid weird dreams (ok the dreams weren't actually that bad, but they're sticking with me for a hot minute here)
I'm glad Mac 's ok.
Totaled car -- eek! But as long as the humans are okay, there's reason to be relieved.
#1 son has unfortunately crashed 3 cars, and lost one to towing which resulted in charges more than the car was worth. No, he does not ever drive my cars. Period. Maybe when he is 40, maybe. We'll see if his record improves. #2 backed my Brand New Car into a dumpster, with a backup camera and beeping alerts that something was behind him. I sobbed without regard for how he felt. Granted that was an exception and he really is a wonderful driver. His job right now involves driving customers' Teslas all day long. No harm has come to a Tesla yet!
But by far the worst was #1 totaling his very first car when he was 18 on my anniversary. It was so clear to all adults that he took the turn too fast then panicked and slammed on the brakes, locking them. I'll never forget the super sympathetic policeman putting his arm around me and patting my back assuring me it would get better. This was almost 8 years ago and it still brings pain, and #1 still denies all responsibility and blames the car. Hence him never ever driving my car.
I really wish I were closer, msbelle. So relieved that Mac escaped injury, but more than understand how awful this rite of passage is.
I think breaking down and wailing in front if mac and friend would have been totally appropriate! Much more so than yelling, which would have been my first impulse!
I'm glad though that he was physically IK, and that the punishment (no car) will be instructional enough of itself.
I was searching my bookmarks for something else entirely and found this link that Pix posted in 2012 titled "13 Ways to get through a rough day" - there was a good reason to save that post!
^^^ msbelle to follow linky ^^^
I'm shockingly ok. Mac did not die in his sleep, so that's good. I have not yelled at all. I totaled a car when I was 17 and then I was clearly at fault in another wreck when 18 that totaled the other car, so yeah karma.
Glad to hear that, msbelle.
So confused about what day it is. Wednesday cannot possibly be right.
I'm right there with you, -t
