Did the lein thing $53.00,for what good it does. He lives in a apartment in NY. right now. I called my Lawyer and let him deal with it. I am just about to lose it. Oh it's chapter 13 filing it seems that he formed a company to build the house. And I had a contract with him not the company.Go figure? When I told my lawyer about the doors he busted out laughing.Said I had big ba!!$.
Broke my toe last night. I kicked the bumper of my car out of insane frustration. Yesterday was the first day of my new job. My kid was having a tantrum in the car heading home. Got into my driveway and he threw his shoe and hit me in the face. I was blind with rage at that point so rather then being one of those douchbag fathers that end up on the news, I got out of the car, swore a blue streak and kicked the bumper of my new car. Snapped my toe. Blue, black purple and painful.
Here's my FB post outlining today's antics with the doctors
My Broken Toe saga continues: (gets a little graphic here)
Got the xrays. The radiologist said I was fine. The doctor called back 2 hours later saying my toe was broken and I needed to see a podiatrist.
Drove to Milford Hospital to pick up the xrays then raced back to Medway medical office. Podiatrist was the nicest doctor I've ever met. She looks at my toe and starts to tell me what needs to be done.
Basically when I kicked the bumper, the tip of my big toe crushed down and literally shortened my toe length. The broken bits of bone came up through the meat and underneath the toenail so the toenail definitely had to come off.
She said she would numb it up and pry under the nail to see if there was still active bleeding. She said if there was we'd have to cut the toe off. I froze and said "WTF?!?! Cut my F-ing toe off?!?!" I was freaking out! She froze up and said "no!! I meant to say toenail, not toe!" Scared the living hell out of me. Literally shaking at that point. Sweated thru my clothes.
Anyway, I laughed and calmed down.
She shot me with 4 novocaine needles. After 10 minutes she started poking underneath the nail with a scalpel. She got halfway in when I yelled out that the novocaine hadn't fully taken yet. That hurt like hell for about 5 minutes till the novocaine took and I was completely numb. Then it took about 30 seconds to take the nail off.
Everything looked great under there so she said I didn't need stitches which was a relief.
I now have to wear a boot for a month and soak my feet twice a day. It'll take a year for the nail to grow back and will likely not be as nice as the original.
Today sucked.

I'm still laughing!
Damn I can almost feel it OUCH!
I did something similar, I was messing around with our 10 year old, wrestling/ roughhousing well a heavy glass fell and the edge landed in the middle of my big toe nail, Holy crap that freakin hurt, I got so mad that i punched a solid wood cabinet, broke 2 knuckles, big toe swelled up to twice it's size, broke the nail in half, The nail just finished growing back from last year, So I had 4 months of catching sock strands on the broken nail, catching it every time I rolled over in bed,

Hope you heal up fast John!
Here's my stupid big ape story from the other day.... we have one of those "water cooler" style bowls for the dogs, big 5 gallon water bottle sits on top of the bowl and keeps it full. This sits in our downstairs bathroom which is super tiny and sadly still carpeted.
The bottle is 10 years old plastic and apparently quite brittle. Anyway, my big dumb chocolate lab knocks this thing out of my hands as I'm putting it into place and water starts pouring all over the floor, I grab it back up and pop it onto the holder but I'm pissed so I slam my hand on the top of it like a big drum.... and it shatters... driving a nice shard of plastic into my hand... and dumping the rest of the 5 gallons on the floor.
I think I need a heavy bag in the basement or something.

Just today I was looking for something in the garage and managed to step on the edge of a 60" hi lift jack that was leaning against the press which caused to to straighten up and hit me square in the nose. Almost knocked me to the floor, my eyes where tearing up and it bleed for about 15 minutes.
I'm waiting to see if I get black eyes.
