    Default Darn you and your law, Murphy!

    Well, I got my tax return today and went to the bank and paid off my loan. Then, on the way home, my power steering pump went out. On the bright side I have a little left over from my tax return to pay for this, so it won't go on my credit card. I WAS going to put that money onto another debt...... I think my car was psychic.

    Yes that Murphy is a sneaky evil punk isn't he. At least you've got it covered. Murphy and I are very well acquianted on the car front as well, I think that's his favorite way to put the law in action.

    I truely believe that when something happens 2 more will. Everything always happens in 3's. Have you ever noticed that if one light bulb blows 2 more will in the next few day? :p

    I just realized Murphy caught to me yesterday afternoon. I think he's DEFINITELY psychic. Or at least has radar on for these things, grr... But it was my own fault.

    The great news is you aren't going into debt to fix the steering pump and you still got something paid off, yay! Congrats.

    I thought Murphy was spending the last few weeks at my house. Everyday has been something new.

    Glad you had the $$ so you don't have to put it on the CC.

    You can keep Murphy. I know he has been doing a number on my dryer and I can't afford to get it fixed now.

    I'm oddly comforted that Murphy isn't just visiting my house, LOL

    Should have the car fixed tomorrow, I'm really lucky to have the money avaliable, I should look on the bright side

    I hate Murphy! He has already visited our house a few times this year too.

    I'm glad you have the money to fix your car. Sometimes I get the feeling Murphy has joined our family permanently. Hopefully that will not be the case with you!

    My neice pulled into the parking lot of H and R Block to have her taxes done. When she went to pull into a parking space her muffler fell off her car! The good new is she is getting $1500 more than she planned on for a tax return.
