Memberships eh?
Well, we'll have to see. Ooo, I've yet to check my EuroMillions results. Maybe I can buy a big Browncoat house somewhere (possibly one on each side of the Atlantic) for us all to hang out in while we await our self-funded sequel. Hang on.
Sorry chaps. Nothing. But no-one won the jackpot so it's up to £120,000,000 now (and that's an actual £120,000,000, not this American lottery system of £120,000,000 if you take it over 5000 years, less 50% tax. It's £120,000,000 in cold hard cash, immediately, tax free.)
With that extra £20,000,000 we could do a Wonderfalls movie too.
And big hugs to Serenity and Seryn - I feel in a much happier place than them so they need more sympathy.

He hasn't actually taken legal action yet, only sent me a letter saying he wants almost $13,000 and that if something isn't worked out between us we'll be going to court. The 13,000 is to cover wages lost. NY state has some interesting vehicle accident laws, though, so I may have something to go on.

Aw thank you.
Well, hopefully. lets just clarify, he hit you? were you driving badly? were you in your own car? what happened, cause this is madness! And shouldn't you're insurance cover most of it? I'm pretty sure our insurance policies cover those things.
I suppose Jadehand, if you are preparing, we should ask you if you had planns, Am i right in thinking you were going to book rooms thats were all next to each other so we could link them up? So are we all just to send you money?
And as for the lottery, i have my fingers crossed, i always do!
Isn't sanity really a one trick pony, anyway? I mean all you get is one trick, rational thinking! But when you're good and crazy...ooh hoo hoo hoo... the skys the limit!

I'd love to make plans for everyone to hang out and enjoy ourselves again next year. I'm not sure what everyone else thinks of that though. I'm not going to assume at this point that I'll even be a part of this group at that time. I had many issues this year, and lots of stress relating to my recent move and new job. (perhaps there are a couple of folk here who understand stress?)That coupled with more personal stressors had me in, well, not the best place to be having a vacation. I handled it poorly. There are rifts that may not close.
So perhaps after more time passes, I'll hear if people want to patch things up, or if I'm required to walk away from all this. I'm not going to plan for everyone to be together, if not everyone wants to be.
Yes, I was bad. I felt horrible about it for 2 months, I apologized for it for 2 months, I suffered for it for 2 months. In those 2 months, I also grew up a little bit, and got over it, and gained strength from it. Maybe others will too.
til then

And how about a counter suit for your lost wages, pain and suffering, etc? Seems you should be able to get twice what he wants. But, you're already looking into that, yes?

I was not driving badly, I was in my own car. It was during the day of the worst winter storm we had last year. They wanted to medivac me via helicopter, but the weather wouldn't permit it. I'm still not sure how the hell I lost control of my vehicle. I was driving in a straight line at a constant speed, for gods sakes. My car turned sharply to the left about 90 degrees and into the other lane and continued going down the road the direction it was already headed. Semi coming down the hill going the other direction rams me.
Anyways, NY state has strange laws when it comes to collisions. All this time I'd thought my accident was ruled no fault due to the weather but recently found out it was only ruled no fault as far as medical expenses were concerned. The accident was my fault, by the law (which pisses me off, but I can accept it I guess. In any case, I've found out that my insurance company may have improperly handled the claim (ny state handles this differently, too), so they may be liable for anything the semi driver wants. Also, I may have a case to sue the insurance company, but I'm still looking into that.

I don't like to talk about it much, because it makes me want to scream and cry and I get this pain in my chest.
It's called a gunshot wound, for god sakes see a doctor immediately! Get treatment first, then you can have therapy.
Big hug.

god yes, LMD get out of NY state!
but it sound as though at least the insurance should cover it (or you can go to town suing them, and it all goes round and round and round...
but at least you won't have to find it from your own pocket is all i'm tryng to say.
It sounded horrid, i just wouldn't ever drive in a storm again. And he sounds like a jerk, but at least not as much of a jerk as he did before, lets hope you both get lots of cashy money to make up for 'lost earnings' and the insurance compnay has to pay through the nose (I don't like insurance companies).
Aw, Jadehand! But you were Mister Wonderfully Organised last year, if you fall apart on us, what are all us crazy chaotic mere mortals going to do?
Nah, only kidding, i understand (well, i don't, but i can empathise)
