valarltdMemphis folks, if you have any use at all for good oak, come get some!
I don't want the whole tree going into the landfill.
Every time I think we've finished with the storm stuff, a new expense hits.
This is going to run us $800 at least.
Bun's Tow: $150
Tree removal: $150
Chainsaw: $100
Car repair from flooded street: $400
We're all alive. We have a house and our stuff. A dozen of my friends are not so fortunate. I feel petty whining about two weeks' pay when friends are living in guest rooms and shelters. But it is my LJ.
On the plus side, I dug out the donation closet. We have some clothes for family 1. I had more 4T stuff left than I thought.

Indeed, my dear: Be pleased & thankful you have all that you do. Perhaps there are small advantages to the Gods playing with your life from time to time for amusement. All that little pithy crap still adds up. When the really BIG life-altering stuff comes around, perhaps The Trickster lays a hand on that of Another planning to throw you something NASTY and says, "No. Not this one. I've played with her enough all year. She'd paid her dues. Just some more minor stuff, if You really must."
