Default Good News Bad News

Theres always a silver lining...

Bad News: I found out through the grapevine my roomate is planning on moving out! He has yet to tell me, though. Probably because I was nice enough to put him on a payment plan throughout the month because hes stretched too thin.

Good News: I have an Emergency Fund I set up for instances like this called the bad roomate fund. Also, with an empty room, my boyfriend of 3 years and I are planning on moving him in together.

Whats your Good News / Bad News?

I like to post an updated good news.

My wife called me here at work. It seems what I've been telling her for the last month or so has proved right. We're pregnant again!! Now that's GOOD news!

Good news: A sample sent for on two different occasions, months apart, made a surprising difference to my very mild arthritis both times.

Bad news: The price on the product (Move Free Advanced) is higher than for other glucosamine & chondroitin products. I think it is the additional ingredients that are making the big difference. I priced them separately and they are high that way, too....But whatever: I'm buying it. Costco has the best price so far. Beats Walgreen's 2fer sale, for example.

Big, big congratualations to usnavy_233 and his family. His good news is the best!

Bad news: I need to get a crown on a tooth

Good news: DH and I both have health, dental & vision ins. through our jobs so we're double insured. They gave me a treatment plan and my total out of pocket cost *should* be $70 tops. I say *should* because the last time she said that, she blew it and it cost us $800 out of pocket. I do have an EF so no worries either way. Plus I set the appointment six weeks out and I get 3 paychecks in March so I'll have that much more money

More bad news: I'm a big chicken when it comes to medical/dental stuff.

Good news: CVS has given me many extrabucks I don't really expect.

Bad news: I can't figure out how, why or when, which makes playing the game a little harder.
