Good morning!
I got a few emails from people telling me to screw Rick and make him pay for the insurance no matter how much it costs. I have this habit (and Rick is aware of it) of occasionally trying to be a decent human being. For whatever good it does me...I try. When my ex-ex and I divorced, I didn't take a bit of his business and I could have taken half of it. But, I'm the one who wanted the divorce and I didn't think it would be the right thing to do. I certainly lived to regret that decsion because he treated me like dirt after he married a child. You'd think that I would learn my lesson. Daddy always said, "No good deed goes unpunished."
Of course, if the insurance is so high that Rick can't afford it, I won't have any coverage anyway. I'd be even more likely to help him if he would ever treat me with respect and give just a tad of honesty. But, that'll never happen. He can't be honest with me, I don't know why. Whatever. OK then...you guys tell me what you think...should I let him deal with it or should I try to make it easy on him? I need a bit of objective advice here.
Well, I love my job but I still haven't gotten my first paycheck. It's there, I just haven't been able to get a ride to pick it up. Hell, it's all I can do to get a ride to work. I won't have that problem for much longer, the whole no driving thing is almost over. I'll have to pay two re-instatement fees because my license was suspended twice. I guess that means I really REALLY can't drive. Then, I have to pay a $400 ticket (actually that was 2 tickets) and then I'm good to go. Oh, there's the car thing...I have the one that I got in the divorce, it's right where Rick parked it. The stupid thing never drove although he told the judge that it did. I'm about ready to pay someone to tow it. I also have my aunt's car but when it was time to renew the registration, my dad told me not to because he was going to sell it. I would buy that car but my son said that it has a "miss" or something like that which means it could drive for 6 days or 6 months. I need something a bit more dependable.
What I'd really like is a 71 , 72 Chevy Impala. I love those boats. You can't buy them for $500 like you used to. Now they're collector's items. I saw one for 2 grand a few years ago, I can't imagine what a decent one would cost now.
I've been killing myself this pay period because I know that I'm about to come off of probation and I need to pay those fines and buy a car. If my doctor knew I was working, he would freak out. Much less working like I have been. But, I HAVE to do it for one month to get the driving thing taken care of. With this current check, I'll easily be able to pay the fines and have a chunk left over to put toward a car. I'm half tempted to take the rest of my check and buy a battlestar gallacticar until I can save enough for a decent car.
OMG! Insurance!
How the hell much can THAT be? Jeez with a DUI and a few speeding tickets on my record, this ought to be fun. Oh man...I finally get a great job and now it just means that I have to spend a LOT of money to be able to get there. And then this health insurance bullshit...a week after I find out about the thing growing on my spine...damn I'm annoyed.
My father went to night school and raised 6 kids to become an attorney. He graduated from law school when I was 15, maybe 3 weeks before I turned 16. After he had been an attorney for a while, I asked him how much he made as a lawyer. I'll never forget his answer..."The same as I've always made...two thousand a year less than I spend."
That was back when two thousand dollars was a few bucks. That was back in the day when I heard him tell the gas station attendant, "Two dollars regular, please." And...he was driving a Ford Country Squire station wagon...with wood paneling. He actually drove someplace in that great big station wagon for two bucks. That was before the Middle East went bananas.
Anyway, I know what he meant. If only 2 grand would do it. You'd think that sooner or later, some rich person would read my sad story and send me a wad of cash. I would if I were a rich person. That's probably why I'm not a rich person.
But...if you think about it, it would be smart. I'd see to it that it got out in the media so it would be some great, free publicity for a rich person who wanted publicity. Maybe they'll even make a movie about us like that waitress and cop who split the lottery. Hell...I'll write the book!
On that note...I'd like to say hello to all the rich people ;)
OK then, to all of my blog buddies, hello to you as well. And, if you know any rich people, send this post to them. I'll make it worth your while and you'd obviously be in the book. You would be integral.
Well, I think I'm going to stretch out on my couch and pretend like I'm tired. Ya'll have a good day!

Hi Meg :) I say Rick has to pay. He said he would, right? Then HE has to find a way. Like, I dunno.. borrow from one of his legovers? No matter. He has to. Done.
Oh. And thanks for the suggestion I comment anonymously, yet, supportively, on certain topics. I mean. Duh? Where was my head! :)
Meg, I agree with most of your readers. I think Rick is being nice to you simply because he says he can't afford insurance anymore and if he is a prick about it you can take him back to court. I think that he HAS to provide coverage, that is what the judge ordered and if he does not, then he will be in contempt of court. My idea would be that he buy you a car, and maybe just maybe if he did that (just because he lied about the car that you do have) you will help with the insurance. After all, you have all the marbles this time :)
Well, I have some thinking to do. I had considered making some sort of deal with him that would help me and still be worth it to him.
"Read your blog"...LOLOLOL...now why didn't I think of that?
Thanks for the food for thought! I was sure SOMEONE would think that I should try to ease up on him, at least one poor sap of a dude who felt for him!
Meg
Dont be to nice to Rick, he has more money than you know. Ask him what he got when his mother and grandfather died.
Make him pay. It's time to "Cowgirl up!"
The man has no consideration for you, so don't feel like you need to go easy on him. I mean, the man cheated on you with some skank, left you with a piece of shit car, etc, etc...I say make him pay and let him know that it's not your problem if he can't pay. The judge said to do it and you can go back to the judge and let him know that Rick's not paying. Rick might like screwing around, but how much fun will it be when he's locked up in jail with a bunch of men?
As a side note: this is so much easier when I'm spewing out my nasty "You should drag the bastard over hot coals!!" comments...but truth be told, I've let my ex slide on way too much to not feel like a hypocrite right about now. Although, he never cheated on me and he never actually did anything to hurt me (unless you count him making me live with his mom, that was painful). So, I might have handled his constantly being broke differently if he had done something to hurt me.
So, yeah...I stick to my first opinion. Make him pay.
:)
I fell that you get what you deserve. If he's treated you like crap than you have every right to do the same to him. Protect yourself.
Make him pay! You are a nice person, but HE IS NOT! Therefore, he deserves to pay! :):)
