bad luck

Featured Replies

It is irrational i know but i am starting to think that there really is such a thing as having a run of bad luck.

The air-con in the living room has been giving trouble for a long time so the internal unit was replaced,two days later the air-con in the bedroom broke down and was repaired. I had a root canal done,something isn't quite right, i now have intense pain and face swelling 5 days later. The water pump in the garden broke down, the base was rusted and the pump had to be replaced so i went to the ATM to pull some money from my account in Germany only to receive an ATM message 'invalid code, contact your bank'. I tried to send an E-mail to my bank but the modem gave up the ghost. I had a new modem put in and contacted my bank over their contact button on their web site, nobody replied so i wrote an E-mail to the bank manager, i'm still waiting. Sometimes it isn't wise to get up in the morning.

Sorry to hear about your troubles.   I've had spells like that where nothing seemed to go right.  
All I can say is try not to drive and be very careful when crossing the road.

I agree, i believe in a positive life flow if you trust in it, ie. even the bad things eventually turn out to have been for your own good later. In retrospect i can appreciate many of my life's catastrophe's as having been positive in the long run. When you are stuck in the middle of a bad time though it's difficult to sing 'don't worry be happy' 

Just think of the run of good luck you are due when this bad luck run is over !

All positive.

Good luck is a background program that runs unappreciated, like being healthy, having a roof over your head, never having known hunger, having beautiful healthy children and being able to find happiness in simple things. 

Take a deep breath, it's just a bad week not a bad life. 

 

At this moment in time thou, i would not expel that deep breath from your anus, it may contain lumps.:ohmy:

It seems to be getting better, my bank has written that they have turned my card back on, the new water pump is working well and i am off to the dentist today to see why my face has decided to become a balloon, some decent pain killers wouldn't come amiss either. 

good  and  bad are  just figments of the human brain

some days its best to give up and open a beer or ten. :smile:

Reminds of a saying a guy use to use on here :-

" When shight happens it happens and there's nout you can do about it ".

or something like that.

 

My dad use say " Life has it's ups and downs ".  it for sure does. :laugh:

Try to turn negatives into positives, and although it can be hard to do sometimes, it does work.

And what do you expect when you upset the Phaya Naga?

Bad Luck is when your air conditioners breakdown in July.

Everything has it's sell by date, the air-con gets a professional cleaning every 6 months and the water pumps life,so i am told, is around 10 years,we have had it for 11. As for my tooth problem, well even we have a sell by date.

Yea had them myself. Sort of scary. But often it is a sign to move on to a new location or make big life changes. Even if membership is free. Don,t join the (PFC) quite yet.
