So, yesterday’s gloom is slightly lifted, yippee…the other insurance company is going to give us the cash value of the Infiniti. It’s still not damaged enough to call it a total so I need to check with Gene as to how this is exactly working. I was super excited until I realized – DUH – that we’d still have to pay off the original loan. Dumbass. So Gene’s dreams of the M35 may not happen, which is fine with me. I loved the G and I would not be upset at all if we ended up with the exact same car again.<\/p>\n
But, the gloom n’ doom – the geek store that Gene invested in back in summer 2003 is being sued. I’ve talked about the lawsuit before, so I won’t go into it in detail. But yesterday afternoon, Gene called and asked how much of a loan I could take from my 401k. I named a figure and he asked me to take the loan. It’s the beginnings of the D family Legal Defense Fund. Ugh. Now, the partnership is being sued by one of the partners. I think Gene agrees with the guy that the store just needs to give the eff up and close. You can buy all that D&D garbage on the internet and frankly, I think it’s better if geeks don’t hang out in public anyway. Ick.<\/p>\n
Anyway, I have the loan – payments of around $160 per month for the next 5 years. Ick. It’s just about half my 401k. I’ve worked so hard to fund it and now half of it is going to pay for legal defense for something I never really thought he should have invested in to begin with. I wish I would have stuck my ground back when he originally invested.<\/p>\n
And there -as my stupid boss says – you have it.<\/p>\n
Brandy, I can’t believe you were near here and didn’t tell me. You suck! And email your cell # so I can tell you so on the phone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
