Notice to RPers and stuff.

Notice to RP friends, there will probably be no RP from us tonight.

On the way back from picking Bridgie up from work we headed to the grocery store. It's been drizzling on and off all day so the roads are wet, and up on the bridge I came up on the line of people waiting for the red light, put on my brakes a nice reasonable distance away, and... didn't stop. At all. Until I hit the car at the back of the line. I don't know if pumping the brakes would have helped or not, it was a skid and the brakes just didn't do a damn thing. The older couple in front of us seemed okayish, but they took the woman to the hospital because her neck felt a little funny, and they don't mess around with that kind of thing. That car also bumped a third car in front of them, but our car is the only one that even has a scratch. The front left turn signal won't light up, we think it's probably just the bulb is broken, and the front bumper is just slightly cracked up/twisted. I didn't see a scratch on the other two cars, which is good. Between police and insurance and all we just got home a couple minutes ago. The cop couldn't even write me up for reckless driving, because I wasn't, so I got a ticket for 'Following too close' which is probably the nicest thing he could put on there.

Slightly shaken up. Haven't broken down yet. Didn't need this while jobless and just poured over a thousand dollars into car repair. Hopefully the insurance company won't tell us to junk it over minor fender damage.

We're going to just veg tonight.

I'm so sorry. You guys really didn't need this at all. :(

I'm following up to RP tags, but only because I don't want to forget. Take care of yourselves.

I am really sorry to hear about that, I have been in a few accidents myself and know how very stressful, I was glad to hear that no one really got hurt and that you think the car might still be able to get you around. I have your address and mayabe I can swing something your way. I am very hopefull that things will get better for both you. I only wish there was more I coud do help you out. Give that critters a pet for me and spin squeeks as i know how much he likes that. Its times like this I wish I was rich and could help out my friends with things such as this.
Stay safe you two and rember you are in my heart of hearts and we will be keeping you there safe and sound.

So sorry

Ugh, having brakes fail is one of the worst feelings in the world. I'm so glad it wasn't any more serious!
