I've been in a tight spot recently. A real tight spot. And I haven't been able to have really any fun recently. I'm gettin sad.
But I know everybody has their own problems. I could go on for quite a while about anything and everything that I think is unfair or wrong, as I'm sure most others could too. That's not what I'm going for here though. I'm trying to get an idea how other people get by their main problems and furthermore, what kind of problems those are. To be frank, sometimes I worry about my sanity and mental health. This is just my way of comparing how I feel or what I worry about to other people. See; you think i'm crazy too.
Ok, so here's my 2 cents. My car is screwed - i believe. It's been down for about a week. It started with the check engine light, which I investigated. That led to a replaced MAF sensor, spark plugs, and $160 bill. That made the problem worse; engine running very rough and mis-firing. Diagnosis was performed and the mis-fire was verified. New plug wires fixed the problem for $40 bucks. Worked that day, but didn't roll over the next time I tried to start it. Timing belt is the current thing, it's tore down in our shop and i'm footin it. What aggrevates the situation is i'm broke as hell and I have to borrow some money from my mom - that hurts my pride and my damned stubborn determination to be completely self sufficient. Furthermore, the car is financed and I'm still facing 2 years of payments, working car or not. But tha'ts not the most depressing thing. Only other thing that really has taken a toll on me is imy nability to attract and retain a girlfriend. For those who are curious why this is so depressing to me, check my post over on the "relationship advice" thread. Too long and boring to explain here.
So now, it's your turn. Complain or vent or explain what problems you've had to deal with recently that have taken years off your life (or someone else's).
