Lorri????

Yes, I've noticed that too, maybe it is because school started. And what about pollyandsay? She had valuable info. and I learned alot from her.

Polly's still around, don't worry about that!!

She's just busy with a bunch of stuff right now...

GOOD! I hope she comes back soon.

Me too!!!!

Yeah, I was just thinking about Lorri the other day...

Where are youuuuuuuuuuuu? :)

Also, what the heck happened to Mary??

still waiting on Mary...Set4Sail popped in for 2 days, I got to talk to her for a sec, now she's gone again.

Yeah, I miss Set4sail too!!!! :(

I noticed dcashwell3, Andyyoung are also not around since the last month

Lorri is probably swamped with new papers to grade, classroom setup work, curriculum, field trips to plan ahead, and all that good stuff that accompanies grade school.

Yes, and I miss Mary to pieces! She and I were the biggest cut-ups! Not that I don't truly appreciate cutting up with fins!

Oh Ari, I'm having the time of my life tearing s**t up with you! We haven't done our thing for a bit, we need to do it up soon!

It seems like so many people leave when they are in good shape again..It's too bad. I'm not going anywhere, though!

Me neither! This has become a very nice pet project for me! I'm rather attached to this forum!

We definitly need to come up with some new material and attack the next crappy collector!

yeah,I miss Lorri,Dcashwell,Andyyoung,too! I keep looking for them,and wondered if I missed them or not-hey Fins,Jessi,Ari,Erzeke,Polly-have just missed you all too!I'm on,you're off!Been busy with this lawsuit thing...Karen

Hey Karen, what the latest update on the lawsuit?

I may have already posted this,but now the dip stick is suing in excess of $300,000. And we are responsible for the excess!! I don't know how this got this far,except the idiot knwos how to work the system and got an ambulance chasing attorney.I mean,he got a dented hub cap,for petes sake. But he is claiming that it re-injured a workmans comp. back injury and surgery he had a year ago,and is in horrible pain-yeah right. His workmans comp money is probably running out! It's makein me nuts :shock: :shock: ...Karen

Gosh! This is disgusting, how are you taking all this? What is your attorney's advice on this?

I'm so angry for you! This guy is an @sshole, nothing more. What kind of creature would rather live off the backs of you and your son rather than get his $hit together and get a job! He is one of the lowest of the low. I hope your attorney can prove to the judge just what a loser he is.

Let's not forget about Toni! Where has she been?

Thanks Ari,me too! He's the reason our insurance is so high,people who file frivious claims...Karen

Yes it's true. Social parasites make a lot of our costs high. We pay high premiums for sue-happy parasites like this guy, and we pay outrageous taxes so that prisoners and lazy people on welfare can have gourmet food and cable tv. I've said it many times, and I'll say it again. The system doesn't work!

Obviosly it does for him and people like him! By the way,Ari, how's you blood pressure doing now,I hope it's alot better than it was!...Karen

My most recent readings were 156/103, and 156/100. I'm not in the safety zone yet, but I'm getting there. Right now I'm studying to be an insurance broker. How ironic!

It's better than it was,but I would like your lowere number to come down some more.My dad was in insurance from the time he was 17,in the mail room ,until he died at 50 and became president. I learned alot about it through him-good luck to you!...karen

As would I! I would really like to have healthy blood pressure. It also recently dawned on me that I was starting to put on weight, after careful consideration, I concluded that even though I eat healthy food, it's my portion sizes that were getting to me, they were keeping my blood pressure up and starting to bring my weight up. Now that I'm on to this, I think that bottom number will drop a little more.

And they will come down-also watch your salt intake,too.I think the more you become a little less stressed,they will continue to drop. Thank goodness you are out of the job-from-hell-! Got to run-it's my sons'(the one on disability) birthday and I'm going to get him a cake.His poor excuse of a father hasn't called or sent anything,and my son has been looking for the mail all week :evil: :twisted: .se ya later...Karen

I've cut out salt completely, and I see now that those telemarketing fascists who sent me packing probably saved my life and my sanity. i really should thank them for that even though I'd rather tell them to get stuffed. I'm sorry for your son's disappointment on his birthday, perhaps his looking in the mail for a card or gift is mere wishful thinking. Your ex is a loser, and losers do nothing but lose.

I've been in and out. Things have just been busy lately...I'm all over the place. :)

Karen,

I'm sorry to hear that you guys were hit with such a frivolous law suit, especially over a hub cap?!! My first thought was this guy may have worked in the pdl industry at one point if he knows how to rip people off this bad? LOL! Just a little humor but my prayers are with you and your son :)

mine are too! I also hope your lawyer makes this jackhole eat his shorts.

Karen, you always have my thoughts and prayers as well..

"jackhole"??? Good one Ari!

Thanks,you guys. I'm not so much worried about the dip s$$t lawsuit,but for my son. With his mental illness,he cannot get around crowds or people he doesn't know. And when he gets too stressed he becomes suicidal or cuts himself,so I've been wathing him really close.Thank you all for your love and concern and prayers,it really is a family here!...Karen

It is a family here. You guys mean an awful lot to me...I will never forget how you all rallied around me when my husband had his pulminary embolism..It's good stuff around here.

Ari, you come up with the greatest comments LOL! I love it. What would we do without you? I agree gals that this is a family. It seems that we really need to schedule a meeting of some sort. There are more and more members from Ohio lately :) I know when I'm not around that much, I sure miss you gusy :cry:

We DO have to have that meeting! A bunch of you are in Ohio, and it's only a few hours for Polly and I to drive out there..We're only 4 hrs from Columbus! So lets get it together, I think I can speak for Polly here when I say we'd LOVE a road trip!

I agree, it would be fun. :lol:

Hey count me in I am from WV not to far from you all. Karen, Just one question? I thought that the president enacted legislation and it passed against frivoulous medical lawsuits and automobile lawsuits. I think I would get somebody digging. I know on the medical it is supposed to be capped at hundred thousand. Check it out. I cant remember the exact law just know there is one. KYSIDE38. P.S. I have missed all you guys to.

Thanks for the info kyside.The problem is,he is suing for what our cap is on our auto insurance,plus. He is claiming loss of wages and permanent disability,blah,blah.He's just an idiot who lives off this sort of thing,and I guess has doctors who are just as crooked.He's been living off a job injury for a while now.I still want to get my cam corder and get pics of him,but like I say,I would probably end up in jail for being a peeping tom :shock: ...Karen

I was looking for a post from awhile back about avoiding spam in blogs and lo' and behold I found this one that I didn't even know about. It made me feel really good to know that you all were thinking about me. I was experiencing an extremely severe bout with depression and was off work for over a month. I wasn't functioning real well, needless to say. A belated thanks to all of you.

You're welcome! :D

I hope things are better for you now...I'm here for you.
