Big winds last night snapped one of our trees in half around 12:30 AM. Woke me right up! Those who have been following some of my threads will understand this . . . I'm pretty confident God was trying to get a message across to my DH :D Really, I should not be laughing about this.
One word..Karma.
I'm glad you are okay and that no one was hurt.
+1 on what Tulip said - she beat me to it:)
Totaled?
CA
Eek, looks like things were worse in MI than here in Chicago.
Why is this kharmic? Was DH recently involved in some sort of tree abuse?
I'm glad no one was hurt, but yowza, that had to be scary.

Glad everyone's okay.
Wasn't this a new car, limewave that your DH bought against your wishes since budget was tight? Maybe I have lousy memory..
YES! You are right.Quote:

Karma is right.
Were you able to not laugh as you called him to the window? Is there any way you can gain sole possession of that check so he can't do anything stupid with the money?
Hope your house roof is OK. Did you check that?
Once you pay off the truck will you have any $$ left? Tree right through the heart of the truck, yeah, that says something. :eek:
Please don't think me evil, but I saw the pic, immediately remembered the story behind the truck, and laughed out loud.Quote:

The truck is dead. The tree went right through all the electrical and mechanical work under the hood and destroyed everything behind the dashboard. It is just like a knife right through its heart. God smote it.
We've paid all of one month's payment. We even have gap insurance on it. I think we'll be covered.
Did your husband ever, er, admit to his wayward doings? ;)

That's priceless!
(and I am also glad no one was hurt)
So, has he picked out his new vehicle yet? I'm thinking a nice little scooter will be just right.
LOL you guys are too much! :D Glad to hear that everyone is okay. That is scary!
Hey, we just went to the library last week and picked up Dave Ramsey's Total Money Makeover. It might say things to hubby in a softer voice than the tree or the old ball and chain :rolleyes::D:cool:
Thanks for the picture! It is really worth a 1,000 words!
Ohhhhhh, that kharma. Now I remember.
Um, yeah, I think you're right. Looks like a smoting to me.

Smoting...that's a word I like. I need to use that one more often.
just wanted to say, teeheeheehee giggle giggle giggle.
smitten indeed. (Glad no one was hurt!)
I'm really glad you have enough insurance on it to cover all of this - 'cause it woulda sucked if the insurance payment wasn't enough to pay off the loan on the truck.
This made my day! I'm so glad you found something to smile about. Secretly, of course.:D
