Just A Vent! / myLot

My van was towed away again! Bummer! Whenever there is a major stadium event we have restricted parking! One must have a sticker on windshield proving residency within the no parking zone! Well i never bothered to get a sticker, don't ask. This time they towed my van to the impound yard because all the neutral zones were full of vehicles. This first time was just a $40.00 ticket and towed to a neutral zone. The other 2 times were also $40.00 tickets each, no towing! The football game starts at 7:pm and my van was towed at 10 minutes after 7:pm, another bummer! I was out in the back fixing a friends alternator problem, free, no charge! I feel dumb and upset at the same time! Why me? Not good when you are battling depression! Thank you, good people for letting me vent! Take care.

When it rains it pours! That's the way it usually goes with bad luck, it never stops at one thing it usually runs in three's. For instance, Sunday we left church about 12:30, we got home after 3:30 because of the truck. The gas filter was stopped up and my husband had to crawl under the truck probably ever 3 to 4 miles. The truck would run for about 15 minutes then under the truck he'd have to go. He didn't get upset and neither did I, it started to get funny. If I wasn't on antidepressants I probably would have been having a fit. I've been depressed for over 9 years because of Fibromylgia, the pain and not being able to do the things I did before. Work, paint, write, sleep, walk, and thinking is a problem too. But with the help of God, my medication and my husband, who is an Angel, I can laugh in times most people would be crying.

Yikes! I'm so sorry this happened to you again. It bites when the football stadium is in a residential area. It is like that at almost all of the stadiums in my area. There are a few that have no homes close by, but the ones that do makes it hard on the residents.

I can see the point of resident parking only, but there is no common courtesy like a knock on some doors to give a warning and what about out of town or out of province visitors? I think this mistake of mine will cost me over $100.00 . Boyscout motto: Be Prepared! I hope i will be! lol! Take care Gingisnapz.
