Just a Few Challenges

[Flatbush Harry]

So...

A Month ago, Mrs. Hyrar had a spinal fusion.

Thursday, my 2008 BMW 535xi (with 40,004mi) died...engine quit, electrical system expired, left me sitting on the entrance ramp/right hand lane of the local interstate. The local populace seemed to think I was a number one guy (that is what them extending a single finger to me as they passed my car for the 100 minutes I sat in that lane waiting for a tow, a state cop or something good to happen). I'm getting a new car when I get this POS back...I've got to own at least one bullet-proof car between sMr. yaHrr and me and her Toyota POS is 10 years old and has 93,000 mi. I'm glad I got the extended insurance and service.

Thursday night, Msr. yarrH took a spill, broke 3 ribs, and, until we got the CT Scan results today, might have ruptured a kidney of a lung per the pain and other miscellaneous difficulties. I've been arguing with her to join me on a brief sojourn to the local temple of healing for two days. At least she didn't deck up the fusion (we think).

Today, as we sat in the emergency room, my wife commented that I seemed to be getting more gray hair since her first surgery.

Boy, I'm glad I have adequate capital and have zero debts, complete ownership of our home and no lien on my testicles. I wonder what folks with real stress do?

Sounds like my daughter......

[ConstantChange]

Hate to hear about Mrs. Harry. I hope she gets well very soon.

I love the look of the BMW's, but it's crazy how many stories I hear like that. 40,000 miles is nothing. A car that expensive should go 150,000 - 200,000 with minimal issues.

I suppose they manage whatever is thrown their way. For many many people there is simply no alternative.

First off, prayers for a speedy recovery for your wife and a few for you. Second, I am a firm believer in better living through pharmacology I am pretty sure drinking can be considered medicinal. Third, Pics of fat azz purely for scientific research for FTLH

The car situation can easily be fixed. Hello, new car salesman...

As for the wife, I'm quite sure you used a number or three you already knew to call for a consult. Get well, Mrs Howard.

YrHra

Life sucks. I have debt, it makes the suckage worse. Pray I get the job tomorrow or Tuesday.

Glad you are both OK.

Yoda should have been good for 500K miles.

[lspencer534]

Dayum, YrHra! Sorry to hear all that. I hope Mrs. YrHra is going to be okay. The car: Even I get 150K out of a Jaguar! Major suckage for you.

I need to remember that one

Seriously Harry, hope you are past the troubles for a while. Everytime I start to feel down about the way things are going I stop and tell myself not only am I doing better than most here in the US, I am still better off than 99.99% of the worlds population...not living in a mud hut in some country where different factions are trying to extermnate each other, just trying to find my next meal.

[Truck Guy]

Prayers for a speedy recover for Mrs. FH!

Way more important than the car

[Omega Man]

Sorry to hear of the troubles with the Mrs's recovery. Hope this will be the last kink in the chain.

I have had excellent luck & service with the Lexus name brand. Might want to give them a try.

Drink, say "charge it" or stiff on the bill.

[Loco Vette]

Prayers for the best thing to happen to yHrra. The rest will sort itself out.

[dwjz06]

Prayers for your wife Harry. I hope she has a speedy recovery. When she is well enjoy picking out your new ride.
