BigMcLargehuge's day, in pictures!
Edited on Fri Aug-04-06 01:09 PM by BigMcLargehuge
Coffee runs out -


Checks bank balance -


Realizes he's broke -


Gets angry-




Feck!-


Mrs. McLargehuge defends recent purchases-


Battle ensues-


Anger simmers-


Things are thrown-



What do you mean, no money for groceries?-


Surely, you can't be serious!?!-


I am serious, and don't call me Shirley, or I'll put my big toe right up your ass...


I'm crushing your head!-


Sometimes I think you WANT to fail!-


No one, now let me make this perfectly clear, is to argue with anyone about money, until I blow this whistle!-


You HAVE to make sure I get the slips when you buy things!-


We have a whole mess of unresolved financial issues to deal with... -


Things calm down briefly-


But it doesn't last-







We declare a cease fire-


This has been a long week. Health insurance premium going up $350 a month, starting September 1st????


That can't be legal!?!... Crap. It is...


How will we get by?-


Kindergarten is going to cost us $300 a month starting September 1st... (I live in one of 14 districts, NATIONWIDE, that doesn't have public Kindergarten)


Don't have any investments-


So have to cancel health insurance plan-


Who wants to live forever?-


But, my friend, that doesn't help with the current crisis-


Who doesn't get paid this month?


I'll haggle with some of the bill collectors-


And we'll eat-


Then try to clean up the mess later-


Money sucks. Lack of money sucks even more.

1. That was superbly done, but I am so sorry for your troubles.
I hate money, and all the worrying that ensues because of it. x(

You are so funny!

But I am very sorry for your hardships.

You seem like a very nice man. Good vibes coming your way.

9. Going UP by $350 per month
That's so wrong. And paying for kindergarten. You live in the wrong country, my friend.

12. Humor is a virtue.
I'm glad you haven't lost it. Great post, sad things to hear. It's up and down I guess, and it comes in waves.

Good vibes for you, Big. Stand tall. :hi:

16. We don't fight about money
That really sucks about the kindergarten. Why no kindergarten? Do they think it isn't important or are they just that cheap?

18. cheap
NH mandated public kindergarten two years ago, but left it up to each individual town to finance. Rather than hike property taxes to pay for the program, they started what's called the Derry Early Education Program, but it costs $300 a month.

Hopefully everyone else is as pissed as I am and we can get a class action suit going.

17. You had me laughing
till midway through, when I realized how serious it is.

I'm sorry. It makes me livid to think that y'all down south have to pay so much for health insurance. Just...fucking...insane...:grr:

Sending good vibes to you, BigMcLargehuge. :grouphug:

25. I'm so sorry that you are going through this. However, I'm sure...
that it helped to vent your frustration via this method rather than punching a hole in the wall. (Good work :), but sorry that it's based on the truth. :()

:hug:
