Very wise words.

Hey so I really needed the washing machine to poop out on me right now. I was looking for something needing fixing

Gravdigr 04-16-2018 03:01 PM

It appears the guy two doors up has brought out the motorcycle for the year.

VROOM!! VROOM!!

That thing is a monster. I don't know just how fast it is, but, a Challenger Hellcat Demon was driving by when he revved the motor, and it cowered in fear. So...

By the by...It's 37 degrees rfn.

monster 04-16-2018 09:49 PM

that's above freezing, what more do you need? Flip Flop weather

*sigh* It never ends... Minifob and I were in a big wreck today. Everyone's fine.

I was stopped at a light, one blue car opposite and facing me. Light turns green, but to the left I see a silver car coming at full highway speed, definitely not going to stop at her red light. I lean on the horn, but the guy across from me doesn't see her, pulls into the intersection and gets T-boned. His car spins violently and slams into my drivers side, where I am still sitting motionless at my green light. (Not motionless after that, of course, he knocks me into the next lane over.)

It's borderline, but I'm hoping the insurance company writes it off. With one kid moved out and another... indisposed... for many months to come, I was planning to downsize very soon from the minivan to a more compact vehicle.

That sucks, glad you're OK.

There's never an armadillo crossing the road when you need one.

Glad you're unhurt.

You'll have a few days to claim delayed onset of whiplash if the insurance company doesn't total the vehicle and you want to make a few extra bucks towards a new one.

monster 04-29-2018 09:05 PM

yuck. How is Minifob holding up? fingers crossed for the write-off and a decent settlement

Clodfobble 04-29-2018 11:05 PM

So far, so good. He was jazzed right after, not upset but kept asking me to explain how it happened. Then he was tic'ing a lot more than usual for the next few hours, but settled down again by dinner. He missed cello because of it, so he probably considered it a blessing. :) I expect it will stay forgotten until we have to explain what happened when we go to cello next week--that's when it will turn into a thing, if ever.

Whiplash claims are for if you have whiplash. They are not for clawing back costs where this is no whiplash.



@ Clod - so glad you guys are ok. Must have been pretty unnerving to be in the middle of that.

Griff 04-30-2018 06:07 AM

Dang. glad everyone's okay.

sexobon 04-30-2018 06:41 AM
