yeah, so I was on my way to school on the interstate when I got behind this dude in a truck hauling one of those outdoor playhouses for little kids that had been put together. He had it tied down with two bungee cords. anyway, the thing flew out of his truck, so I went in the other lane to avoid it, and my car ended up spinning out into a concrete wall. My car is totaled and I just got back from the emergency room

this day hasnt gone well at all...

Thank HEAVEN you're alright! I don't even want to think...

Were the police able to size up the situation OR, did you get cited with a failure to maintain control? That's what makes me crazy sometimes when in order to avoid the person at fault doesn't get the real brunt of the blame.

Sorry about your car, but happy you are still "with" us!

Damn Bro, I thought I was having a bad day, but jeez you more than topped it!

Hope you are allright! Well at least body wise! Trust me you will be sore for a few in more ways than one!

I had 3 Police cars taken out from under me so know the aches and pains! Ha also totalled 3 cars on my own!

Hope you are doing well!!!!!!! Keep a stiff upper lip if not to damn sore!

Glad youre ok bro.

I'd say milk this tho. Make sure you see all your professors and tell them what happened, but your still plugging away despite some memory loss.

I come from a belief system that says an accident or trauma ought to gurantee you at least a 3.0 for the semester. Call it a consolation prize if you will.

Glald you're okay, Chopper! Sorry about your car though

That really does sound like something that would happen to me.

Ohhh, I'm so sorry but glad you're okay. How are you feeling?

thanks for caring yall! im doing ok i guess, my left side is killing me, and i probably will miss class and work again b/c i need to go get some therapy tomorrow. i have a bruised collar bone, a lot of pulls and strains, my left arm is cut up and swollen from the air bag, and i really have a hard time gripping and squeezing stuff with my left hand, its not to useable right now. but to answer your question justamom, the other dude got a ticket for failing to secure a load or something like that, i didnt get any type of ticket or citation.

Feel better, Chop.

My faith is restored! Tom was right about the next day aches and pains!

LOL!

Hope you're feeling 100% again soon! So sorry about your car!

to update yall, they want to give me a few grand less for my car than i should get (they want to give me 8900), keep in mind i got this car like 3 weeks ago, and they are saying tough luck on the taxes and registration we just paid. Oh well, If they are going to be pissy with me, its on.....
