What's the matter with you people? You come to Head-Fi when you're sad? C'mon! Cheer up!

This is a happy place.

OK, yes, I do get into a little trouble when I get too happy here...

That's him. I'd recognise him anywhere.

Haven't read the article yet, but let's hope they can cure him. Nobody deserves what he's going through.

Well, I'm here almost every evening how sad is that?

But remember
Life is hard but the front of a train is harder....

Does anybody else picture Jack Nicholson from "About Schmidt" while reading this thread?

I don't do internet games. I don't wanna have my behind handed to me by a 7 year old.

I'm rooting for the Giants in the Superbowl though.

Well at least this Saturday night I'll have some fun. Having company over...gettin' trashed!

Kiss my high-end rig goodbye. I was planning on spending around $1500 on it. Plus a new roof for $4000

, but I've had some really bad luck over the past few weeks (notice my absence?).

Furnace went out causing a small fire. Only damage was to the furnace and closet it was in. $2500!

Hot water pipe burst: $500 in damages.

My truck was leaking coolant: radiator fubar. $350

When noticing leak, found CV boots fubar. $450

Rebuild fuel intake gaskets. $75

Hailstorm damaged windshield (and it leaks). $350

Superbowl Sunday washer & dryer quit (yes, on the same day!). $2300

%$&$!@~!#^%@&

Jeez, he looks kind of like Orlando Bloom's father on Pirates of the Caribbean. I'm glad something is finally being done to help the poor guy.

 

[immtbiker]

Wow, that's awful man.

You should have at least 3 years of good luck owed to you from this bad streak.

You guys are depressing. Fortunately, I'm reading this on Tuesday evening, not on Saturday. But I'm still happy. Just got a Sandisk Sensa Clip. Great little gadget. Sounds fantastic with my old SR-60s. So nothing you say can put me in a bad mood. Even seeing pictures of root man. I'm happy. Mozart - play on.

What would be the difference if it was a Saturday night or any of the 6 other nights of the week? What am I missing from the OP.

Whats worse on a Sat night here, is on a Tuesday night wishing you were here Saturday night. Instead, I was trying to drive my girlfriend an hour and a half to the beach for dinner, exploring back country roads. I hit a deer. That was pretty much a buzz kill. We drove back and settled on McDonalds. I'm not sure the dollar amount of damage, but the insurance guy is coming Thursday. My fast is not happy! (VW GTI mascot)

It gets worse. Saturday a sewer drain in my home's foundation broke (concrete slab). Sunday I came down with the flu (1st time in a few years).
