Murphy is Visiting

July 20th, 2011 at 12:28 am

I've been told unfortunate things happen in threes. Well I guess Murphy (as many of you call it) has come to visit; and now that the damage is done he can GO..

1) DH's dentist bill. $1065
We knew we were going to have to do this, but it didn't make it any better.

2) Car repairs. $1600 (est)
More work needed to be done than just what was damaged in the fender-bender. This cost will be off-set by the $760 from the woman who backed into the Pathfinder.

3) Laptop not working. $70 (so far)
The screen like goes to sleep when you open it regularly. It flashes the desktop and then the screen goes blank. If you open it in Safe Mode it works fine. The computer is currently at Staples. The $70 was for diagnostic tests, which it passed, and they called to tell me it must be a short to the screen.. However, that doesn't explain how the screen works fine in Safe Mode. Yeah they couldn't answer that. Rolleyes So I think we're looking at taking it to somebody else who hopefully knows what they're doing or buying a new laptop.

Ugh!

'Course in the grand scheme of life this is nothing, but indulge me in a small complaint

    Your induldged! I find it hard to part with hard earned money especially dental bills and car repairs. Fingers crossed Murphy has left. Smile

    Dental bills are brutal, and even when people have dental insurance it leads to unmanageable costs. I am living overseas, and having some work done (by an excellent dentist) for roughly 1/10 the cost of my work that was done in the States, it's a big relief. I hope that you are able to knock that bill out soon, good luck!
