Bad Fortune : 2010 March

untitled story

Nothing but bad luck lately, I'm hoping it ends soon.

I have to move again, really sucks.

My van is getting worse now, too many problems with it.

Termite damage.

Another object hit my van.

Work has been slow and we're about to lose a client.

Bad things don't come in 3s, they come in more.

So Thursday was my last exam. MY Prof gave us 30 important key terms. She hinted that 10 will be on it and we can choose 5 of them to answer. (She was being nice because she canceled 2 lectures). So I used my head and said, I'll skip 5 of 30 terms and only study 25 to save time. Also, 1 of the term was a little confusing so I left it halfway.

So I had 6/30 terms that I wasn't so sure about when I went into the exam....and guess what? Out of the 10 terms, 5 of my 'unsure' terms were on it!


Good thing I knew the other 5 to ace that part...lol

But still I couldn't get over the bad luck on having 5/6 terms on it.

stopped at a stop sign somebody else takes corner short and totals my car. insurance is only going to pay enough to cover what I have left on loan. and of course after a recent divorce my credit is now in the crapper . being a single mom with three chidern and working just to survive leaves me not much money no way to get credit and now I have no vechicle either.

Next night, went to start it, starter was not working. brand new starter not even a year old, ok that fine, took the mega came home clikced the key a few times, third time she started, and started 3 times in a row, went to bed, got up started it in the morning, she purred in the -24 degrees then, she started going nuts, almost dying reving up, almost dying again i ran down stairs and before i could get to her she died. dam... so i got a ride, came back later that night, didnt worry about it. today, push it into the shop to warm her up and ungel, go to try and start it, click, clikc, click, click, starter not working, then not even a click turn the key silence. get down to tap the starter and look at the wires, 2 of the starter bolts are loose, one completely GONE! a wire was also loose, found a new bolt, tightened all three, tightened wire again, but still gelled and wont start so she is sitting in the shop now hopefully she will start in the morning...

A woman's husband had been slipping in and out of a coma for several months, yet she stayed by his bedside every single day. When he came to, he motioned for her to come nearer.

As she sat by him, he said, "You know what? You have been with me all through the bad times. When I got fired, you were there to support me. When my business failed, you were there. When I got shot, you were by my side. When we lost the house, you gave me support. When my health started failing, you were still by my side... You know what?"

"What dear?" She asked gently.

"I think you bring me bad luck."

Just when I thought nothing else could go wrong with our planned return to UK, Ive mislaid my old cats passport. Turning the house upside down is proving useless, it is not to be found.
Has anyone any idea of what can be done in this circumstance? His passport was issued in Uk by a vet unknown as he was rescued in France after being dumped. He has a full PETS passport with bloods and waiting time, just no paperwork. He is 14 years old so re-homing is highly unlikely. I am going to speak to the vet but do not hold out much hope. This was to be his final trip home, he wouldnt be put through the trauma of travelling again at his advanced years, cannot believe I have been so daft as to lose the book.

Had fun and games ove the weekend.
took the turbo to himley hall. no problems on the way there, however about 2 miles from home a pipe blew off the oil cooler and proceeded to emply the entire contents of the sump all over the under side of the car, front brake discs tyres etc and was empty in 500 yards.

luckily i spotted it prety much straight away (only doing about 35mph) and de clutched and coasted to a safe place to stop and it was still running so there was still fuel in the carb even though the fuel pump had stopped.
i was passing a Ford dealer at the time so went there to try and get oil after i re attached the pipe. unfortunately they were unable to get to their parts dept do a nice sales man drove me to a near by petrol station and back to the car.
doesnt seem to be any the worst for the moment, but will keep an eye on it.
need to get new pads though as they got well coverd with oil.
At least it wont rust for a while.

When i was 21 i bought a 1999 Honda Accord, and 2 days later when i was crusing along the motorway and old aged woman who was just pulling on to the motorway hit the passenger side of my Honda. I beeped at her about 6 times because she had crashed my first car and i knew my parents would blame it on me. I pulled over on the hard shoulder and looked at the damage and the whole left side was damaged beyond repair.
