    Angry I'M TIRED OF MURPHY STAYING AT MY HOUSE

    Last month Mister Murphy visited my house to much! Had to pay for a root canal $800, car repair $619, and have to start paying on my bridge which was $1636! Could pay cash for the root canal and car repair, but with the bridge I have 18 months interest free to have it paid off. Now last night on the way coming home my engine light went on!!! Will he never learn that he not a welcomed person to my home!! Thank goodness I have an EF, but this is definetly not what I praticularly want to spend my money on. Here in Feb. paid my car off a year early and all I have been doing is either putting money in my car or my mouth. Thank goodness I have been working overtime lately at work.

    Rebecca!!!

    I think Mr. Murphy needs to take a very long vacation and stay away from everyone for a while!!!! He has been at my house a lot lately as well and I am more than ready for him to go away!

    Ok, why do you call bills "Mr. Murphy"? LOL

    Anyway, we had him last month too! Van A/C repair $967 and ingrown toenail $390. This month our generator got stolen so I just got another one for $575. UGH!

    Rumrunnergirl heard the expression from a long time ago. Don't know where. It sounds like Mr. Murphy is an unwelcome visitor in your house. Want to kick him out of my house, but doesn't want to seem to leave!

    I think it's a take off of "Murphy's Law".
