Boy, has this Christmas gotten off to a good start. First I battle the malls to finish my shopping. Then I get three goldfish for a present (a nice one), and I have to worry about their care constantly, in addition to all of the thigs I have to worry about. And tonight, I am pulling out of the street that the aforementioned friend lives on to leave her subdivision, and I pull out too widely, running my front bumper into a median (you know the kind, with plants and such in it), and the lower part has been pretty mutilated (my brakes were ineffective against the wet pavement). My dad said that it would probably be $1000 to fix it. As it stands, I have about $1400 total in my bank accounts, and about $200 to pay off on my credit card from Christmas shopping. So how will I pull these seemingly insurmountable repar costs off? Any suggestions
*takes a deep breath*
Sorry... I just needed to rant and get some of this stress relieved. And the TrekBBS being down doesn't really help any, either. I just this isn't a repeat of last year's Christmas purge.
Oh, and seeing that this is problably my first post here since last Christmas, I am a member who has been here for a few years, but hasn't really posted any since finding the more dynamic and changing TrekBBS.

So, in other words, you ran your car off the road and are complaining about it here because your preferred Forums are so dynamic and changing you can't actually access them. Next!

Well, $1,000.00 does seem insurmountable, unless you have $1,400.00 in the bank, then it just seems unseemly...

I despise anyone who has any money at all in their bank account, so I'm just going to sit over here and sulk.
-------------------- Yes, you're despicable, and... and picable... and... and you're definitely, definitely despicable. How a person can get so despicable in one lifetime is beyond me. It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

Yes, woe unto the poor college student who faces major financial challenges.

I can sympathize with that. My checking and savings accounts together amount to about $1000. I've got a rent payment and a car note coming up next week that's going to wipe out $600 of that. Then there's my credit card, which still have about $700 on it that I need to pay off from this summer's car repairs.

A) Lots of times, working a bit extra will help pay the bills, at least in my world.
B)If we're going to discuss holiday traumas, I'd be more than happy to fill you in on MY holiday season, so that you can put your traumas back into perspective. Mine involves two car accidents on my part (not my fault), a death in the family, and a serious car accident on my sisters part that totalled the family business' brand new delivery van right at the holidays and put another girl in the hospital, and family fighting that borders on World War intensity. And that's just the tip of the iceberg. And yet I'm not feeling the need to cry to the entire forum - until now. But that's just to prove a point. If you'd like to hear the rest, or more details at all, let me know please. I'd love to assist you in putting things in perspective.

PS~ Next year, I'll try to be less of a b*tch and stuff.

I can honestly say that I HATE Christmas with a passion. A season where people to one or two things nice and they think that they are covered for the year, BS like that is pathetic.
Give me a non religous holiday any time, then I don't have to see and hear hypocritical shits.....
LOA, I do hope your next year improves.

Harry, any countries independence day, something along those lines I am thinking.
HIAD would work even.

Phhht. Buncha killjoys you are! Any day I can get paid to go out a play on a warm, cloudless, sunny day and then come back inside and watch DS9 on DVD is a cause for celebration regardless of any antiquanted religous gobledegook.
I may even finish that drydock/starbase model later on....
For those of you stuck dealing with falilial nightmares, just concentrate on how happy you'll be once it's allll behind you....

Someone needs a hug. Seriously, though, I hope things improve for you in the new year. With all the stuff that's been flung at you the past few weeks especially, you're due for something good to happen.
As for my Christmas, my little cousin kicked me in the balls. Multiple times. The next time I see him, and when my voice drops, that little fucker is going to be stripped and hung upside-down from a tree by his ankles.
