Computer repair, car needs brakes and rotors, mom has knees replaced (brakes and rotors), 2 cars totalled (none our fault) one in a horrific hit a stone wall twice accident that one daughter walked away from but to get the call from 200 miles away when she was on her way home is a bit of a heartstopper, truck needs head gasket & cylinder heads, wife out of work 11 months, eldest daughter gets engaged then later informs us she will be moving to a very small town in Alaska, wife out of work for 11 months, my own job of 20 years "reorganized" future by no means assured all this and more since last June. . .

  2. Nows a good time to purchase/find a winning lottery ticket. . .or recheck your Fathers Day Cards to see if you got one but forgot to scratch it . . . or hope the next knock on your door is from publishers clearing house bringing you colorful balloon bouquet & million$ in cash prizes. . . or, aw hell, since we're way out in dreamland, lets just imagine the IRS sends you an unexpected refund.

    Prayers go out for a speedy recovery.

  3. What else can go wrong?

    I had a year like that last year. I had to remind myself every day that my whole family was healthy, we love each other, we get along. My wife and I are still attracted to each other after 20 years of marriage, etc.

    These things matter more than careeers, money, cars, etc.

    Trite, but important to remember when you're having a run of bad luck.

  4. T'ain't bad luck, just a bunch of challenges to keep things interesting. It's all good.

    And there is no truth to the rumor that I am thinking of changing my name to Job :)

    Of course that doesn't mean I'd object to winning that lottery. . .

  5. Job? Ouch, that's a frightening thought.
