I just got my tax return of $1200.00 and was SERIOUSLY looking forward to advancing my collections image Unfortunately the day after I got the return I got the hospital bill for a family emergency a couple months ago.....$1500.00. Guess there are no coins for the Cladiator this month lol.

p.s. - on a OT note.....10 hours at an emergency room cost !!! $20,000 !!! ... unfreakingbelievable! Thank god for insurance!

p.s.s. - Congatulations to me for my 500th post image

  • Reminds me of when I was a kid. I got a job cleaning aquariums at a hardware store. The last aquarium I almost dropped, and the metal rim cut into three of my fingers.

    I got Paid $15 to clean the tanks--the stitches cost $20. I was bummed.

    (better than 20 grand I guess though)

    Sorry to hear it, Cladiator.

  • What does "OT" mean? -- Also, sorry about no coins for you this month... Sounds like a line out of a Sienfeld episode.... "No coins for you, step to the right..." -- From the soup nazi episodes... Seriously, hope all is well with you and your family!

    I pay $2400.00 per year for insurance and the SOBs won't even pay $15.00 for a flu shot.

    You can't win. We are just living, breathing, fleshbags full of blood and bones through whom pass great quantities of money on our short journey across the stage of life. Enjoy the trip!
