How was your 2007? - Page 2

I read a thread on a Buick site I get on every now and then and read a lot of the posts, and thought it was pretty interesting to see how everyone's year went. This was my post on my 07, how was yours?

I guess any year your alive is good. My 07 wasn't the greatest. I lost all my basketball scholarships to College, found out I have two degenerate discs in my back, need to have my vertebrae fused to my spine, then I need to have another surgery to fix my nerve that's been messed up due to the disc problem in my back. I got my right knee scoped and my knee cap has not aligned back into the groove, and it's been a year and it's as bad as it was before I got the surgery. My dad had a heart attack, luckily he is doing well now. My dad's business has been really slow, and that makes for a stressful time, seeing as myself and my brother both work for him, and if no money is coming in how can it go out? It's been a long hard year, but the Lord got us through it, and hopefully he has better plans for us in 08 (at least better in our minds LOL).

Here is one from that thread that makes you feel bad.

Not the greatest. The wife was layed up 9 mos with a broken leg. Poor/barely existent disablilty insurance through her work (< 30% of her normal pay, before taxes) equates to lots of OT for me. Thankfull for the timing on that, but ended up taking very little enjoyable vacation, cashed a lot of it out for $. End result = best year I've ever had $ wise, less to show for it, and still had to sell parts and some valuable coins to keep our heads above water. Sad and frustrating, but the glass is still 1/5 full.........Oh yeah, in the middle of it all, in a 3 day span the refrigerator and washer took a dump and needed replaced........did I say it was 1/5 full ?!?! Anxiously awaiting a better '08

For some people it was an awful year, for others it was a great year, how was yours?
