Bad news

topic posted Fri, August 17, 2007 - 3:37 PM by  Connie
My boyfriends truck just died. It needs a new clutch and a new tranny, So now neither one of us has a ride to the burn. I don't know any other way of getting there. I really want to be in the conclave, But now my ride is gone and I was planning on leaving for burningman in 10 days!!! HELP US!! If you guys know any way of helping us It would be greatly appreciated. We oviously would be willing to pay part of the gas bill. I can't believe after all of my hard work and all the time I have dedicated to this, Something like this would fucking happen- im really stressing now, already having spend over a grand on burning man. I hope I can make it there.

    Connie,

    First off (and I know this is not the easiest), do your best not to stress out too much. It won't help you in problem-solving and people may not be open to giving you a ride if you're all stressed.

    First thing to do is figure out how much stuff you have and then post to boards about finding a ride. There are ride share boards and all sorts of other opportunities. You will find them if you believe you will.

    If it is meant to be (and I believe it is) you will find a ride or another way up to the burn. Everything happens for a reason. Burningman has already started. This is all part of the ever-evolving adventure. Think positive and create your solutions.

    It's a bummer that this happened... but there is a bright side. If this had happened the day before you left, you would have been much more screwed. With 10 days to go, you have a strong window of opportunity to find another way. You can do it!!

    S~~

      thanks. I 'll try not to stress. I have already posted on 3 or 4 of the ride share tribes.... The worst thing that can happen is that I dip into my savings and help my b/f pay for the car. it will take almost all of it, but hey, I made a commitment right?? hopefully I can get there. All the people who need to help with gas $$ are trying to find people. Hopefully I will overcome this and make it to the burn.

    I agree with Sizzle. BM tests you!!!!! Preparations, finances, stress, friendships/relationships, getting there ..... and then when you're there it's a whole new set of tests! It's like boot camp for your soul. It purges you then rebuilds you from the inside out. Listen to Sizzle! And look .... you and I may already have worked out the solution! :)


    XOXOXO
