Well when it rains it pours....

So a brake line ruptured in my Jeep last week took me 6 hours to replace all the lines and bleed the brakes yesterday. thought everything was great then my clutch went out today I just cant catch a break. Piled on with all the other stuff going on in my life. You guys ever feel like just giving up and moving to south America and living in the jungle the rest of your life...I do ha ha jk...

Alaskan Wilderness maybe, but not a jungle. Good luck.

Sometimes it feels like you just can't win...

Yep. I know all too well how you feel. Have you ever heard of Murphy's law??

en.wikipedia.org...

My luck was kind of come and go when I was younger and single. I had bouts with bad luck, but not so often that I really stopped to think about it.

THEN.....

I met my husband and I took his last name. I'll give you one guess as to what name that was.

If you guessed Murphy, then you'd be right. My luck has been in the crapper since.

I hope your luck gets better soon. It's hard not to go mentally insane for about 20 minutes after a few things start piling up on you. Hopefully you'll catch a break pretty quick!

Buy a couple of cases of snack pack pudding cups and find a nice wall to throw them against. You'll feel better in no time.

Did you know they engineer things to only last a certain amount of time?

When, all at once, everything starts to break down in a product, you know a really "good" engineer is behind the build, and your product's warranty has just expired. lol

What a waste of so-so pudding cups!
Sounds very cathartic though!
I can almost hear the 'plock' of them hitting!
At least, thank goodness, you don't use Kozy Shack brand!!!
I would cry!!!

Yep!
And they say everything happens in '3's',
& it really seems to happen that way most of the time!
Our's was, every time we got a nice chunk of change ahead,
something big would give up the ghost & need replaced!

When my Aunt & Uncle took my Grandma to live with them,
because she was dying of cancer, all hell broke loose!
The first month their water heater went, then the fridge, then the stove!
With all kinds of little annoyances in between those!
Just like their patience was being tried or something!

So duck & cover, you may not be out of the 'woods/jungle' yet!

Well it might be pouring right now, but you just have to wait for the storm to pass.

I've been having a little bad luck myself lately.
I know how it feels.

Wishing you good luck!

Well if you do move to the jungle you'll have a suitable vehicle.

I had a jeep for a while. It was a POS.

Bought a 'smart car' after that which has never needed a single repair.

Not one of those overpriced German things, but a ten year old Toyota Corolla.

Ok I need some verification on this bring the hub to the monitor, I want to hear it from him directly.

My luck picked up once I got married, hers on the other hand went into the dumps...
