awe, hon i''m so sorry! I''m really glad you''re ok though. Was anyone else hurt? I know lots of people will probably tell you that a car is just a material thing and just be glad you''re ok, but I understand that you''re upset about it.

Is there a karma or bad luck center anywhere I could check myself into? One freak thing after another. I''m okay...people in other car are okay.
Big Semi decided it liked the property I was occupying on the highway... decided to change lanes in order to occupy the space I happened to be in at the time. I braked to avoid being hit by the semi . Too hard as it turned out. Car swerved. My brain died trying to figure out if I was supposed to turn into the serve or against it. I picked the wrong one. Car spun 360 a couple of times. I hit a pickup truck-- I hit it perpendicular to it... fortunately I hit the part over the bed... not where the passengers were. Front eng od my car is smashed ... well... the parts of it still attached are smashed in.
Guy at the collision center said it could be a total loss... but he''s not sure. The airbags didn''t deploy so that''s in my favor....I won''t know till next week-- Monday or Tuesday what they decide.

Man, that sucks. First, at least you''re okay. I know how you feel....my 6 month old car got totalled shortly after I got to CA. Thankfully it wasn''t my fault, but it stinks nonetheless. I hope your day gets better....or you might want to climb back into bed and start over tomorrow.

Aw Gypsy, I am so sorry to hear this, but I am glad you seem OK. Definitely rest up as your body will probably feel sore in the next few days.

Awww....I''m sorry. I agree with the others, you need to get checked out.
David had a wreck about 4 mos ago.....in his new car. Boy, what a mess it turned into. He just got his car back 2 WEEKS ago. His car could have been totaled, but he told them he wanted it fixed since the frame wasn''t bent. I told him that he needs to get some legal advice because of all the problems he went through. On top of everything, it cost about $2000 out of pocket because of a "betterment" clause.

Yeah... I should probably go to an MD. All I did today is get the car towed to the insurance preferred repair shop, get a rental car and come into work. Then at around 3:00pm I got the shakes and started feeling the shocks... I just lay down in my office and took a half hour nap to re-charge and stablize. I''m going to go home in a few here... got a dinner party to attend tonight, then tomorrow... we''ll see. I''m supposed to go apartment shopping but I don''t know if I''ll feel up to it. To be honest... all I want to do tonight is crawl into bed with my fiance and be held. Of course he''s 2000 miles away so... I''ll probably just put in some face time at the party then go home early.

Ohh he''ll always be button
He is 6 wks old now, and has been really naughty and crying heaps this week. Other than that, he has started smiling for real (not just wind!) and does a lot of ''cooing''.
I, on the other hand, haven''t been so sleep deprived since law school.
Take care honey, I''m going to have a bit of a nap now since he''s just gone to bed!

I''m so sorry to hear this, Gypsy. Our truck was totaled in May by a drunk driver. I was so messed up psychologically (not physically) for about a month. It throws you for a loop. Did you have gap insurance on your vehicle? After this accident, we got gap insurance on our new truck, just in case.

OMG gypsy...I just got home and read this awful news.
Thank God you and others are not badly hurt. Of course you must be suffering some shock. I guess the only good news about this is that at least you''ve got the weekend to recover.
PLEASE take care of yourself this weekend...tons of rest, do only what you FEEL like doing...
Rats...I''m sorry. Take care..

OMG Gypsy! I''m so sorry to hear that you got into a car accident! But, the most important thing is that everyone involved was able to walk away! I agree with the others that said it''s probably a good idea to go and get checked out though. Take it easy this weekend! I''m always afraid when I''m driving in a lane right next to a truck for this very reason!

I'm so sorry to hear about your accident, but I am so glad you weren't seriously injured.
You will be shook up for a while afterwards. I was in an accident in May when my 8 month old car was hit by a Ford F-250. He had $85 in damages and my car had $6,000.
I was a mess for about a month and a half and was scared to drive. I felt like someone was going to hit me at any minute. It has subsided but I'm still not crazy about driving. Just yesterday a guy in an Audi on a cellphone almost swerved into my car on the highway because he didn't look first. I still get really shook up when I see people drive recklessly which seems to happen a lot. Plus I have a ridiculous fear of trucks on the roadway which I hope you don't develop as well.
Take it easy and get some rest. It is very traumatizing and people don't understand unless they have been through it. I will say a prayer for you that you recover quickly both physically and emotionally. Take care.

Gap insurance is what you get at the dealership to cover anything that can happen until you get your own coverage.
