SAVE THE FUNKYLAMA!!!

[M Sparks]

Maybe, there are other lamp post in that same park that are just as risky. Did you guys take a look around? ?

Yeah, Alma, go shake some more lampposts. .

Either way, I wouldn't pay the hospital bills. Did you ask to be treated or did they just fix you up?

Fucking roving bands of surgeons wandering the city, meddling.

[thefunkylama]

WHO CALLED YOU, AMBULANCE? JUST BECAUSE I'M LYING ON THE GROUND AFTER BEING CLOCKED BY AN ENORMOUS CEMENT PILLAR DOESN'T MEAN I NEED YOUR HELP. MY FATHER USED TO HAVE CEMENT-BLOCK-THROWING WARS WITH HIS SIBLINGS AS A CHILD. WE DO THIS ALL THE TIME. DON'T YOU JUDGE MY FAMILY'S HERITAGE.

[GuyInTucson]

Alma, please come back and post more.

[Alchemy]

Alma should sue the company that made the slackline for making too powerful a slackline.

[JustSteve]

contributitted!

[Courtney]

Alchemy, that's ridiculous. Clearly she should sue the park architect for not installing guardrails in front of all lamp posts.

[amyzzz]

She should sue Isaac Newton's estate. Because gravity.

[TomAz]

She should sue Christopher Columbus' estate. Because America.

[Drinkey McDrinkerstein]

She should sue her mother for giving birth to her and starting this whole chain of events in the first place.

[Mr. Fuzz]

She should probably consider moving back in with her parents and then file for bankruptcy.

[JustSteve]

pretty sure bankruptcy doesn't absolve you of outstanding medical bills

[Drinkey McDrinkerstein]

Actually medical bills are one of the #1 reasons people file bankruptcy. It actually might not be a bad idea to talk to a bankruptcy lawyer see what your options are.

[TomAz]

one of the #1 reasons

At least you didn't spell it "reason's".

[thefunkylama]

Maybe I should sue Obama because his stupid healthcare plan was supposed to cover this ish.

sorry, yeah you're right, had something else on the brain. but that will also cancel out any of her credit cards and make any kind of loan in the near future hard to get.

[Drinkey McDrinkerstein]

I KNOW RIGHT

[Mr. Fuzz]

sorry, yeah you're right, had something else on the brain. but that will also cancel out any of her credit cards and make any kind of loan in the near future hard to get.

go on...

[thefunkylama]

It fucks with your credit for 7 years. I have vivid memories of the time my mom filed for bankruptcy when I was 12. I remember the stench of the office we sat in, and the way the lawyer's ample belly perched on top of his belt, defying physics with its rotund anger at being forced into a button-up shirt, forced upward by the tyranny of his slacks, and their refusal to admit anything beyond what I can only assume was his sweaty, pinched fupa.

It's not the most attractive option, frankly.

Also he had foamy spittle accumulated at the sides of his mouth as if he hadn't had anything to drink in a while, and he insisted on licking his thumb before turning each page as he instructed my mother where to sign.

True, but so is having $35k in medical bills at collection agencies on her credit report. Actually, it's probably worse. BK would wipe everything out for her and allow her to start fresh. She can start working to rebuild her credit right away.

*advice coming from a former financial counselor and not just some spewing jackass on the internet. BK would suck, but at least it would be over and not follow you around until its paid. It's off in seven and done with.

[TomAz]

Just because you're a former financial counselor doesn't mean you're not a spewing jackass. Actually, it probably means you are.

[captncrzy]

I guess I meant "random" spewing jackass.

[Mr. Fuzz]

What's with the quotes?

[amyzzz]

I think the quotes are meant for emphasis. She could have used italics as well.

Yes, exactly. Which is why I said it would not be a bad idea to at least talk to a BK lawyer for some advice. My girlfriend is a lawyer currently specializing in bankruptcies so i hear about this stuff all the time. not all of them are sweaty and gross like the one Alma described.

[captncrzy]

What's with the quotes?

What's with you being a giant piece of trolling shit?

[thefunkylama]

I just sort of told off my aunt. WHO'S NEXT?!? I'M LOOKING AT YOU, MR. BELLY BUTTON LINT.

In other news, I spoke to a second lawyer today who said the same thing as the first one, except he accepted pictures of the lamp post to mull over with his partner. He'll get back to me with official bad news on Monday.


WOO.

[chairmenmeow47]

i love a man who will make you hem and haw over the weekend.

is it still 7 years or did it change to 10? or am i thinking of dui's here in ca? i have been considering filing for bk. based on my disability and the money i get from the government i won't be buying a home or getting any loan anytime soon anyway. with the transplant possible in the future i would like to go into it with no debt in case something should happen to me, don't want it passed on to family. have charged up a bit on cards over the 20 years i have had them. never missed a payment and have a pretty decent credit score, but with the costs involved post transplant i need that money to go towards medications and post transplant care, not minimum payments for shit i have purchased in that time that based on the little box on my statements says will be paid off in 20 years. we were quoted between $400-500/month in prescription costs post-op...for life. ouch.

also, there is a "bankruptcy for dummies" book available and if it's a pretty basic bk it may be possible to do it lawyer free.

[RotationSlimWang]

I'm not going to donate, not because I don't like Alma, but because this is exactly what's supposed to happen to people who do stupid shit like this. Sorry Alma. Love ya.

[thefunkylama]

I WASN'T EVEN ON THE LINE, DAMMIT!
