Arrest warrant issued for Lindsay Lohan
By Alexandra Heilbron on March 16, 2009 | 59 Comments
An arrest warrant was issued for the ever-shrinking, constantly unemployed Lindsay Lohan on Friday, stemming from her 2007 DUI incident. Police arrived at Lohan’s home later that day on a domestic disturbance charge. A fight had apparently broken out between Lindsay and her girlfriend, Samantha Ronson, with a window being smashed. The two then barricaded themselves in the house — or left out a back door — as police were unable to get anyone to come to the door for questioning. Lohan is no stranger to legal trouble, having spent 84 minutes in jail. She is also currently serving a two-year probation. A hearing is set to occur today, and the judge hopes Lohan will appear in court. However, her lawyer has said she would not appear, as the warrant “was born out of a misunderstanding” and that she had obeyed the terms of her probation. The exact reason for the warrant is unclear, but attorney Michael Rosenstein claims an arrest warrant could have been issued “for anything as small as failing to report an address change to the court to failing to complete a DUI class.” The warrant carries a bail amount of $50,000.
What a great role model for teen girls. Any person who casts lindsay in a movie is just bad as her
So now she and her lawyer think she is above the law? The warrant has already been issued…it’s not going to just go away. She needs to get her butt in court and get it straightened out there, like anyone else!
I would cast Lindsay in my film in a heartbeat. I think negative publicity can always be turned around in a second with the right motivation and right posse. I say let her in on my next film and I guarantee things would change for her. Oh and I think it may also help the overall outcome of my new flick.
as per TMZ this morning
The warrant issued for Lindsay Lohan’s arrest was just recalled. Lohan will enroll in a new alcohol education program — apparently she had “personality conflicts” with her old one — and will be back in court to prove it on April 3.
This one is never going to crawl out of the gutter!
Andy and Nancy hit the nail on the head, and someone should hit that spoiled little brat on the head too. Disgusting behavior for a role model.
“84 minutes in jail” ??? what the hell kind of punishment is that?!?!?!
“EIGHTY-FOUR MINUTES OF, OF, OF HORROR! That “84 minutes” was terrible, it seemed like it was almost and hour! Woe is ME!”
Gee Lindsay, I don’t know if she’s ready to do porn..
Hahahaha! Demigod, that was hilarious. I disagree, I think Lindsay would do well in porn. She spends most of her time on her back these days, she may aswell get paid for it.
well, lets hope none of YOUR daughters become famous and then have a breakdown 🙂 would hate for people to say such things about THEM 🙂
“You know what really grinds my gears? This Lindsay Lohan, eh? Lindsay Lohan with all those little outfits..jumpin’ around there on stage half-naked, with your little outfits. You’re up there jumpin’ around and I’m just sittin’ here with my beer. So, you know, what am I suppose to do? What do you- what do you want? You know, are we gonna go out? Is that what you’re tryin’-why you’re leapin’ around there? Throwin’ those things all up, over there in my face? Huh? What do you want Lindsay? Tell me what you want! Well, I’ll tell YOU what you want. You want nothin’! You want nothin’! All right? Because we all know that no woman anywhere wants to have sex with anyone. And to titillate us with any thoughts otherwise is just bogus.” – Peter Griffin 🙂
Ok! It’s a good thing you wrote “Peter Griffin” on the bottom of that comment, demigod….I thought maybe Natasha Richardson was not the only one who hit her head!!
you can actually joke in connection to Natasha? I find that unbelievably insensitive, Nancy. no excuses.
I said she “hit her head”….she did, didn’t she, Jo-Anne? If you could get over yourself for 2 seconds and read my comments on BOTH of the Natasha Richardson articles, you would very obviously see that I sympathize with her unfortunate circumstances. So stop making mountains out of molehills, yet AGAIN!!
Can’t you EVER just “shut up”, Jo-Anne?
i do agree with jo here, nancy. i would have said something terrible and rude to you if i didnt know who you were. i dont find jokes about death to be very entertaining 🙁 and you can tell me to “shut up” all you want 😛
I never made a joke about “death” though, did I? I mentioned her hitting her head…which she did! I think you both should mind your own business!
Nancy, your “joke” was in bad taste. I’m afraid that you made it everybody’s business when you posted it here. Unfortunately, the fact that the poor woman died after you wrote it just made it that much more shocking.
Well, I know what my sympathies are and if any of you had read my comments on the 2 Natasha Richardson articles, you would know too. All I mentioned was that she hit her head, and the leeches just awaited the jump! SURPRISE SURPRISE!
oh, you caught me. total leech 🙂 and besides, its true, do you think i would have been that nice if it was anyone else that said that? 😛 clearly, i wasnt being anywhere near as rude to you as you just were to me the last 2 posts. how come there wasnt anything rude to lily when SHE also agreed with me and jo? i told you, i have no problems with you. but i will tell you when i think youre out of line, which i hope youd tell me. id also hope that you would be willing to have the decency to treat me with the respect that i use with you.
I really don’t care. I said what I said and have NO regrets for saying it, whether Jo-Anne, you, lily or anyone else likes it. I’m not trying to be rude to anyone and I think I’ve been quite “decent” to you mandee over the past week or two even though you said I “act like an idiot sometimes”. You ask “how come there wasn’t anything rude to lily when SHE also agreed with me and jo?” Hmmm…seems to me my “leech” comment came AFTER lily’s comment…but yet, I never attached names to my “leech” comment either…
You’ve known me on here long enough to know that I haven’t quite been “rude” just yet, mandee.
i do consider it to be “rude” when you and i dont say things like that about each other. and yes, i did say you act like an idiot SOMETIMES. everyone does, thats life. i didnt say you were at that specific moment when everyone else said you were, in fact, i agreed with what you were saying. clearly, im not a “leech” neither is lily when all we do is speak our mind. did you see me ANYWHERE insult you or anyone else when i said i disagreed with your comment? perhaps its time to grow up and stop name calling nancy. im sure if jo hadnt of said anything, you wouldnt have busted out with your “leech” comment to begin with. ive already proven that **I** am personally mature enough to walk away from all the fighting. so i guess ***I*** will act like the mature ADULT here and not bother to continue fighting with you. nor will i bother to stoop to your level and call you childish names. take care. hope youre having a wonderful night 🙂
she will be doing playboy within a year , mark my words
“yes, i did say you act like an idiot SOMETIMES. everyone does, thats life.”
“perhaps it’s time to grow up and stop name calling nancy.”
“i’ve already proven that **I** am personally mature enough to walk away from all the fighting. so i guess ***I*** will act like the mature ADULT here and not bother to continue fighting with you. nor will i bother to stoop to your level and call you childish names.”
HYPOCRITE MANDEE! Nah, YOU would never name call, would you? You just said that you’re the “ADULT” and that I am childish and you admitted to calling me and everyone else an “idiot”. YOU are the queen of calling people names on here! 😉 Don’t even try to deny it…you ADULT!!
dion, i do think youre right actually. she will be looking for any way she can to get back on top.
nancy, i didnt say you were childish, and youre right. i said im an “adult” 🙂 and i said “ACT LIKE and idiot” not you and everyone ARE idiots 🙂 hmm…notice how im not calling anyone any names here? wonder why that would be? or that im not on OTHER articles trying to cause problems for you? 🙂 like i said, im not fighting or calling you names because i am an “adult”. so, you can continue to run your mouth and try to start problems by referring to me in other articles without using my name (wonder who you once accused that of?) but, i have better things to do than try to convince you to act civil here. oh hey, theres the word again…”act”
What the hell are you rambling on about now, mandee? What other articles am I trying to cause problems for you? What other articles am I “running my mouth” trying to start problems by “referring” to you without using your name? Sorry, but it sounds like schizophrenia runs in your family because I wasn’t referring to you in ANY other articles. If I were to refer to you, I would use your name. I’m the kind of person who would never say anything behind someone’s back that I wouldn’t say directly to their face!
🙂
i used 3, and i wasnt the one who decided it should be a smart idea to use someones sisters mental illness against them. its pretty obvious the type of person nancy is. im glad im nothing like her. sometimes i can fully understand why men beat their wives, every now and again you do find the one that deserved it after all.
Yeah, look in the mirror, eh mandee. Only 1 EVER raised a hand to me…unlike how many for you? At least I don’t still live at home sponging off mommy and daddy! Get some independence!! Your comments are all over the damn place…like, WTF? You accused me of referring to you in other articles….WHERE? Back up your big mouth. You want to start sh!t but can’t handle it!!
Anon: hahahaha!!
you know, Nancy, a few short months back you were defending Mandee’s choices and now you’re trashing them – and you are calling her on her “comments are all over the damn place…”
it seems to me, for all your devil may care attitude, you just cannot deal with the fact others disagree with you or find your comments, at times, unacceptable…
Who is to say your children won’t be at home later in life and have difficulty finding full time employment or cannot continue their education full time…none of us have the luxury of a crystal ball to know what will happen to our kids down the road or how we, as parents will react when things do happen…
Even though my children do not live at home, I would more than welcome them back any time should the situation warrant it and have no shame in being there for my family…
Re Natasha, you commented we should read your remarks re sympathy…well, yes, I am aware of that, but still feel it doesn’t excuse your comment, “I thought maybe Natasha Richardson was not the only one who hit her head!!” It remains in extremely poor taste to even draw ANY kind of connection to this woman’s tragedy to a light-hearted joking comment.
You asked us both to mind our own business…news flash, Nancy…this site is our business
Ok, none of this is about Lindsay Lohan, but I want to say it anyways.
I don’t think it’s nice to kick someone when they are down. Nancy, why are you saying all those mean things to Mandee? Including things about mental illness and financial neediness that are apparently part of her real life (not just on-line trash talk). And anyway, if Mandee is getting help from her parents, isn’t that what parents are supposed to do? It’s just like Jo-Anne said. My three kids can have whatever I’ve got, forever, if they need it.
Nancy, Jo-Anne and Mandee, do you all know each other?
no, lily, only as website “acquaintances…”, speaking for myself only, of course…
the only person I ever “knew” on here was my sister Vicki who has sadly left this site, but hopefully will return one day, she had great insight…
there is a long long history of comments though, archives attest to it….this is an “unusual” turn, as I haven’t been a “fave” (to say the least!!!)of either one of them for months now, although mandee has been very thoughtful lately re me…
you know, I expect and welcome many differences of opinion on here, even the strong voiced ones – as someone once stated if it was all “niceties” and no one debated or held opposing or different views on a subject, this site wouldn’t sustain any interest for them, and for me that holds true too. Even a healthy does of sarcasm works.
but I think we all know where the fun begins and (should) end…
Well, I was just proving a point to mandee that she is no better than me. First of all, I was NOT joking in my comment to demigod…I was serious. Secondly, I understand when people don’t “agree” with me but to be rude about it and then sit there and call me the rude one is very hypocritical. My “mind your own business comment” was to mandee…because that’s what she always says, none of you caught on though. She said I’m trying to cause problems for her on other articles….I’d really like to know where and have asked her a few times now but she won’t and CAN’T respond because it’s NOT TRUE…that’s what I meant by her comments being all over the place. I completely understand that sometimes our family/kids will need help and I’m not insensitive to that and I’ll ALWAYS be there for my kids, no doubt about that. Like I said, just giving mandee a taste of her own medicine because she seems to think that she is better than others including me and you too, Jo-Anne….she says she “never calls people names”, yet she is the one who comes flying through this site constantly calling everyone “idiot”. Did she not say bad things about your family Jo-Anne? Something along the lines of “your disfigured children”…??? Even you Jo-Anne, have called me a “freak” because I’m 6′ tall. And no, I’m not saying I’m innocent…but neither is mandee! So she should stop with her ‘holier than thou’ BS.
Mandees comment: “it’s pretty obvious the type of person nancy is. i’m glad i’m nothing like her. sometimes i can fully understand why men beat their wives, every now and again you do find the one than deserved it after all.”
Yeah, I’m sure glad she thinks I deserved being abused…I wonder if she thinks my kids deserved it too??????? Glad she’s sooo much better than me…NOT! So next time you want to defend mandee, Jo-Anne, think about how she’ll react and what she’ll say about you once you comment about something she doesn’t like! How’s the medicine taste, mandee?
actually, in all fairness, Nancy, you, mandee and tributegirl have used the “idiot” term, amongst other MUCH more vulgar remarks referencing myself repeatedly over the months, and I don’t need to be reminded that mandee did use that figure of speech with me, I recall mentioning it a number of times when explaining my not being quick to bond with you three to my sister on here – however I also recall you were never quick to respond to that or in fact to bring up anything deragatory anyone said to be EVER in the past, so why now? To add credence to your issue, right?
For the record, I do not agree with mandee’s last remark (like that would shock anyone on here, give my consistent remarks re abuse??)
you continuously bring up the (months ago) “freak” comment, (like it’s the only thing you have?) but disregard the onslaught (and I do mean onslaught) of comments that preceeded that, also the complete context of that remark as well…
You don’t have to be in a constant “attack” mode, many have stated numerous times on here they feel sympathy for you (and indeed that sympathy would extend to your children I am sure) for suffering at the hands of an abuser.
I just find it extremely hard to feel further sympathy, compassion or, for that matter, any kind of positive connection (albiet a web based one) with you at all given your obvious intentional disrespect directed non-stop on this site…
I don’t need nor do I want anyone’s “sympathy” Jo-Anne…especially yours! I brought up the derogatory remarks because you and lily (and mandee too) have turned and pointed and shook your fingers at me for only doing the same thing you and mandee have done, right? I just happen to be a very spiteful person, that’s all. 😛
well, since i was working and doing more important stuff than coming online and reading your idiotic remarks nancy, thats why i didnt answer you. you started your mouth with your “respect” comment in the other article with julia roberts in it. and i know thats not the only time you plan to do stuff like that, since you have been doing it to jo for YEARS. and you dont think my abuse comment was appropriate? hmm, thats funny, i sure didnt think your talking crap about my sisters mental illness to be appropriate either. just giving you “a taste of your own medicine” nancy. and my “holier than thou attitude” ?? are you psychotic? because the only thing i said to you was that i agreed with jo that your comment was uncalled for, and all of a sudden i should “mind my own business” and im a “leech” funny, i never insulted you until you insulted me. sound familiar? same way with everyone else on here. and you are an idiot. i dont even need to say it, it seems everyone here can see just what an idiot you are. and obviously i didnt mean anything by the abuse comment, because thats not what i really think or believe, i just said it to show you how stupid it is to act like a 5 year old and throw everything ive told you in my face. and “spiteful”? thats not the word for it. stupid and petty are the words you were looking for in your last comment. i dont know why you cant ever let things go, its like jo said, you have to constantly drag everything up again. i feel bad for your kids if you treat them the same way. and i really hope that when they are older they have to move home at some point so you can feel like an idiot for talking about me when i already made it pretty clear that the economy in my city does not allow me to move out considering i make 500 a month. and thanks for the support and seeing it from my point of view lily and jo. sorry about all the problems in the past joanne, clearly it wasnt YOU that was the psycho. but yanno, when you come in in the middle and dont know the 2 sides, its easy to get distracted by the devil.
My my mandee….such “name calling”…good thing you’re an adult. LMAO! Anyways, I’d like to know how you get that my “respectFUL” comment on the Julia Roberts article, that I was CLEARLY responding to Jim’s comment, had ANYTHING WHATSOEVER to do with you? Please don’t flatter yourself. When I have something to say to you, you can be guaranteed the word “mandee” will be there! AND, I didn’t say what I said to you because you agreed with Jo. I wasn’t joking and I never mentioned “death” like you said I did. You two seem so interested in my comment which had no mention of either of you in it, so yes, I called you “leeches”…because no matter what I say, the leeches are always jumping for blood. Instead of CAUSING an argument (which you both keep saying you don’t like) in which you KNOW I will totally respond, why not just choose to ignore my comments? I mean, you both keep referring to how you “know me” and know what I’m like and that I “just can’t let things go”…so why start sh!t then?
Oh, that’s right!! Because you both like all this drama. It must make your lives more interesting…? 😀
Come on guys, this is getting out of hand. I know I’m one that likes to stir the pot, but mostly about an opinion. You guys are going too far….calling each other’s families names and hurling insults that are all about nothing in particular. Really who cares where mandee lives and who supports her, or how tall nancy is (I thought you were closer to 7 feet) and whether joanne or anyone for that matter sides with anyone else. As for joannes comments about kids, she is absolutely right. None of us knows what life is going to throw our way and whos kids will turn out bad or become an achiever. None of us know what the future holds for any one of us. All this fighting over stupid celebrity gossip that frankly, half of us could care less about. I don��t even read the articles; I only read the opinions to see if anything motivates me to comment on a praticular opinion. This area should be some fun bantering (even if it gets somewhat under your skin) or none of us would be bothered to comment.
Mandee
As for the comment about you being glad that you are nothing like nancy, your comments here prove otherwise. You are just as out of control as anyone else on this site. You do like to stir the pot and most of your posts are contradictory. This is my opinion and not meant to insult you in anyway. I��m sure if I went back through my posts, my comments would be as well. I find most of your �debates�� are not about your own opinion, but with about and who you��ve decided to ��side�� with and then you are willing to go to the end with this. And they��re not even your opinions to start with!
Joanne
You post well thought out opinions and are for the most part respectful of others. But a lot of your comments have an underlying condescending tone to them that nancy is on guard for and can��t help jumping on. Maybe you are passive/aggressive and don��t realize you are doing this.
Nancy
I do believe you are good person but you are just constantly on guard. If there is a carrot dangling, you��re the first to bite.
As for myself, I have already admitted that I love a good debate and can��t stop myself from posting a comment in response to something that gets under my skin.
And now you can all tell me off for my opinion.
u guys leave nancy alone! u all b1tch that you can say what u want and its nobodys business but when she says what she wants u r all b1tching! forget leeches u r all like a bunch of damn cockroaches coming out of the woodwork!
Hey, we got a live one!
But our “live one” does speak the truth…just confirms my comments. At least someone “finally gets it”!! 😀
Anon, March 20 @ 1:37 pm: Refer to my comment March 20 @ 11:33 am…like I said, “I’m not saying I’m innocent”. I know you’re just giving your opinion and I respect you for giving it in such an “unrude” manner….I will return that TO YOU. I’ve said it many times on here, that it is ‘give and take’, you get what you give. I get a kick out of how they keep saying “can’t you just let it go, nancy?”, meanwhile…I’m thinking, why is it that they expect ME to change to suit THEM? Why can’t they just “let it go” and keep their ignorant comments to themselves when they read a post of mine that they don’t agree with. It’s one thing to disagree, it’s another to be so f-ing ignorant! And I give them a taste of their own medicine and tell them it’s their own medicine and they still try to put it all on me and act so innocent. Anon, I’d like to request your opinion on something, please. Could you check out the Julia Roberts article and let me know if you get ANY impression that I may have been referring to someone in my comment? Thanks. Because someone is wrong but yet again, I get the blame for their blindness and ignorance.
Anon,
Who wants to tell you off? Why do you assume that after your Web Personality Analysis? ha ha
“But a lot of your comments have an underlying condescending tone to them that nancy is on guard for and can��t help jumping on.”
why CAN’T she help it?
(I’ll leave the bigger question for another slow day…I’m sure you know…start compliling your material!)

sorry Web Spellcheckers, I thought “compiling” was a much better choice over “compliling”…
no underlying tone intended…
ok first of all, everyone take a second to read my original post again. : mandee on March 18, 2009 9:08 pm
i do agree with jo here, nancy. i would have said something terrible and rude to you if i didnt know who you were. i dont find jokes about death to be very entertaining 🙁 and you can tell me to �shut up�� all you want 🙂
clearly, the smiley face shows i was joking about the “shut up” comment. also, does anyone see anything thats childish, insulting, rude or whatever else nancy would like to accuse me of being in that post? i was nothing but nice to her and just said i agree that she was out of line (and anon, about you saying its never my opinion, it IS my opinion, its just usually by the time i get on here and read the articles and decide what my opinion is, then read the comments, someone else has already beat me to what i was going to say. so i can see why youd assume i was choosing sides, but i do have my own mind and my own opinions, im just usually later than everyone else) and all of a sudden BAM nancy snaps and starts telling everyone to mind their own business and that we are all a bunch of leeches. funny, when was the last time i started or even had a fight with nancy? the first time i started coming to this site and she was, like always, ignorant and calling me names. and nancy, about me ignoring your posts? i did and you went on for what was it 3 or 4 posts “oh so why isnt mandee backing herself up here?” and threw in more insults. at least i dont drag up every word youve said or everything youve done IN THE PAST. thats what i meant by cant you ever let things go. its in the past, move on. i do have just as much right as anyone on this site, or in this world, to defend myself when someone is talking crap about me, and i also have the right (even in nancys own opinion) to name call if the other person starts it. we have had this debate. i just think its pretty sad and pathetic that when i disagree with what she says, she flies off the handle instead of acting like a respectable adult and saying well, i wasnt making a joke about death. no, all of a sudden im a leech. because ONCE i disagreed with the incredibly insensitive, shallow and rude comment she made. im sure if you joked about heath ledgers death by saying to someone oh i was hoping you didnt od on meds too, that everyone would be all over you about that too. (or if anyone else said that, youd freak on them.) and anyways, my interpretation of your “comment” was you were making a joke of the fact someone died from bashing their head. all you had to do was say “i wasnt joking i was just saying”. apparently hayden cant pick on people that deserve it without being called names, but you can go off the deep end when someone calls you on a terrible remark youve made? hmmm…well, whos the “diva” now?
oh, and sorry for the long post, i had a lot of things to say, and also, the comment i was referring to was your “oh i am not being “respectful” to anyone” that was clearly a jab at me, with you trying to pretend it wasnt or else you wouldnt have used quotation marks around the word **I** used when talking to you.
Well mandee, first of all, I put “” marks around the word “respectful” on my Julia Roberts article comment because I was replying to JIM who said I was very “respectful”…IT HAD ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH YOU!
Second, yes you did use a 😀 in your first comment but, I’m not the first person on here to read between the smiley faces and just see the sarcasm…you know that! I use smiley’s and LMAO, LOL, etc. ALL the time and people still bash the heck outta my comments and ask “why are you so angry?”…so, I’m not the only one. I found your comment to be rude and Jo-Anne’s too…maybe you didn’t mean for it to be but that’s they way I took it. Even YOU thought I was joking about Natasha hitting her head BUT I didn’t use LOL, LMAO or smiley’s, on that comment, did I? So, it’s okay for you to have the wrong idea of my comment(s) but not for me to misread yours? And FYI, the first argument you and I got into on here EVER was because YOU flipped out and came on here…get this…calling me an “idiot”!!! Should I do the honours and archive it for proof? Don’t accuse me of things that aren’t true mandee. Go back, check out the Julia Robert’s article…read JIM’s comment before you just jump to mine this time, please. Like I said, if I were referring to you, your name would have been in there! Anyways, you started with the name calling last week when you said I “act like an idiot”…it pissed me off then, I just never said anything to you…and then this? That’s why I let you have it. It’s has nothing to do with you “disagreeing” with me or “agreeing” with Jo-Anne. If you want to say (which you did) that YOU act like an idiot, go right ahead…but don’t speak for me and I don’t believe everyone else would agree with you that “everyone does” (act like an idiot).
Jo-Anne. on March 20, 2009 6:53 pm
(I��ll leave the bigger question for another slow day��I��m sure you know��start compiling your material!)
hahaha ok thanks!
Nancy on March 20, 2009 6:33 pm
I agree with you, but I also think that you are an easy target. Because you post so often and have your own unique humour (as most of us do), strong opinions and sharp tongue, attacking what you say comes easy. You at times come of as rough and tough (which I personally don��t believe) that may be taken by some as a challenge. But I also think that the different personalities make this site interesting…somewhat addicting. I find myself checking comments while I’m at work. If I��m going to be completely honest, I��m addicted to the virtual drama here! Hahaha I don��t see anything in the Julia Roberts comment that could possibly be offensive to anyone. And I see your comment about everyone knowing you will respond to their negative comments and I agree that you will. Should you? Probably not all the time��its just not worth it. I could have responded / challanged Joanne��s last comment to me, but found the �jab�� to be pretty funny and not worth taking her up on it; I rather enjoyed it. I��m feeling pretty good tonight so not very argumentive lol I’ve mellowed over the last couple of days; someone stole my van and I’m thinking maybe its karma for being such a bltch lately!!!! lol
I hate to be so long winded, but I really have to say that I can’t stand the arguments in one topic spilling into the next. It takes away from potentially good conversations in the next topic / difference of opinions, if it is a worthy one that is.
ohh geez, sorry to hear about your van anon !!!!! and nancy, then sorry about the whole other article misunderstanding. but, it does work both ways, i could have asked you why you posted that comment, and you could have asked me why i posted mine rather than both of us freaking out over stupid things. and like i said before, if you have a problem with what i say to or about you or anyone or anything, voice your opinion like everyone else does, but dont jump down my throat and insult me or else it will just lead to more of this unnecessary crap. when i said you act like an idiot sometimes (you have made it pretty clear you saw the word act in there) it doesnt imply that you ARE an idiot, all i meant is sometimes people dont think before they say or do things, and it comes off wrong and then it gets everyone all in defense mode. which, we are both guilty of here. but i would prefer it if youd just say something rather than be mad about something for a week, then wait for me to be nice about disagreeing with you and then flip your lid. considering we mainly have the same view point, i dont see why we would need to get in such battles when we say or do something that makes the other one mad. you could have just as easily said yeah and you act like an idiot too, and i would have agreed, not fought with you.
mandee on March 20, 2009 9:17 pm
Thanks mandee. I’m a little depressed about the whole thing, it was in mint condition. At least the insurance company settled with me quickly…now comes the fun part of shopping for another one!
i bet, id be pretty upset too if someone stole my truck! i cant believe people these days! its unreal. 🙁 and good luck with shopping for another one. its hard to find good vehicles for good prices.
I read all of the comments and laughed hard a couple of times. Some things never change. It was my daughter’s 8th birthday party on Sunday so it has been an party all week for my family. Not much website stuff for me however I feel a little out of the loop because of all the drama. I don’t even feel right posting because it is after the fact….
Anon – so sorry about your van. That sucks. My car got stolen about 2 years ago and I got screwed by insurance. I sure hope the same thing doesn’t happen to you. It doesn’t matter how much the vehicle meant to you – black book just won’t do justice. My car was worth a million to me but I got the bare minimum from insurance. I will tell you thought that I just bought my wife a car and it is a complete buyers market. 0% financing for 5 years and cars, trucks and SUV’s are cheap!! Good luck. Let me know how you made out….

Glad to hear you had a fantastic family week! Love birthdays and family get togethers. I’m sure you had a hell of a mess to clean up….I can remember when mine were that age.
I really don’t have an attachment to my vehicle other than the effort I put into keeping it in mint condition. The value they give is red book value and they went a little over, but not by much. I’m thinking that I will still be out of pocket by the time you calculate the PST (damn ont government)and GST. I work in the insurance industry and to be honest, I didn’t think they were going to total it. I guess I’m happy they did since it was a theft and you never know what kind of transmission / motor damage they could have caused on top of the physical damage they did.

Oh forgot, I’m thinking of low balling them and buying it back.
That is a great idea to low ball them and buy it back if it is possible.
You are right about the possible problems that could arise out of a stolen vehicle. My sister had a car stolen years ago and when it was recovered the insurance company decided to fix the damage rather than write it off. About three months after she got it back the battery died. She had put a new battery in it not long before it was stolen so the warranty was still good. When she brought it in, low and behold it was a whole different battery; not even the same brand. Luckily it was just the battery so it was cheaper to replace than everything else that they “switched” under the hood. She immediately sold the car and bought something else for fear of the price of repairs down the road.
I did have a great week with my family. Lots of enthusiasm in the house, that is for sure. My family was able to come here for a vacation as my nieces and nephew were on March Break so it turned out great. My 8 year old girl sure has a lot of friends so I was surrounded by excited girls hopped up on sugar on her actual birthday. It sure was nice seeing my kids so happy and excited though. The mess was huge and I am still finding little trinkets in places I didn’t know existed in my house, but there is nothing like seeing your kids having fun with their friends!!
