Me too, and I don't know what we did to the Karma Police.

Tues - heater in condo dies
Fri - Britt gets rear ended

Small prices to pay for a sub 2:30 marathon? That's the best I can do!

Sorry to hear

Best I can do is to mention that these things are supposed to come in threes.

Seriously, that truly does suck.

Oh, man... It sucks when you get a bad luck cluster f.. (well, you get the idea).

Here's hoping you've exhausted your allotment of this sort of thing for the next year (or three).

Damn...Bad things come in threes, right?? You should be good now.

Actually Karma is a false concept. We live in a fallen world where bad things happen to everyone, it's not something we can control by being good or thinking positive thoughts even though those are things we should practice. It's how we respond. My first response is anger and getting justice for myself when it should be more virtuous. With time we all move on and eventually the blessings in our lives obliterate these negatives. Been wanting to address these Karma comments for a while even though I think most of them are tongue in cheek.

I've always taken them as tongue in cheek. I suspect that very few people on this board really put any stock in that stuff.

While Karma is a tenet of many religions in India, none of them sanctify the ever-popular "Karma Rocket". "Snot Rockets" maybe, but never "Karma Rockets".

Real or not, Karma Police is one of the greatest songs ever written (in my humble opinion). Speaking of, he didn't take my Radiohead OK Computer framed poster either.

WTF week in the books at least. Maybe the Bulls will make you feel a little better...

Here's hoping to a better week where 3 really good things happen.

1. My old school Michael Jordan jersey that I ordered from China in December finally arrived, after I had pretty much accepted that it was lost and the money was gone.

2. We scored a group of 14 tickets to the Bulls game in Milwaukee Saturday night. 10th row behind Bulls bench, and since my Wisconsin condo is just 40 miles from Milwaukee, nice little Saturday planned.

3. Brady wins his 4th Super Bowl and the Pats cover (-3)?

Late to the thread, sorry to hear about the shit-trifecta. But life could be worse, no?

I suggest you drown your sorrows at the Milwaukee Ale House, right off the river. As a wannabe Milwuakee resident, we've been there multiple times. The motto is "Ale's What Cures Ya".
