Green Bay Packers Youth #6 JK Scott Limited Green Home Vapor Untouchable Football Jersey
The ancient saying: "the text as its people." Yes, there is always such a
reading experience: read the Tang poetry, experience the Li Bai's wild, Du Fu's
worries and care for the people; Soft in the band just ... ... articles and the
author himself is always similar, as parents and children, blood thinking
However, there are always exceptions.
Jin Ren Yuan Hao asked that "the article Ning Fu see people", works sometimes even deviated from the character, showing a hypocritical author, which for why?
In fact, these two theories are not contradictory. Temperament does affect the article, but the impact is the "heart of the text." This article is the author of the inner world to do, the word are concerned about the situation. When writing, the author will be the heart of the sense of thinking with limited text strongly demonstrated, wait for them to cry blood into a sentence. So written in the article, often with some history also wiped away the glory. As if the "security book", even to a Sima Qian's story will be familiar to the heart of people to read, heartache is inevitable.
In contrast to the "text." This article has some practical use. Noble but poor writers may write down the cost of subsistence work, villain Zeyi modification of literary and art. This article, how do not deviate from the author character?

She was there to greet clients and deal with bookings. I began dropping her off to create certain she was secure but grew to become comfy with it following a thirty day period or so.
1 working day she arrived house and stated the proprietor, Danny, requested if she desired to do a "try-out" to begin obtaining a couple of bookings. I requested what a try-out was, to which she replied that Danny provides the woman a private session to determine if they're as much as operating regular.

Lastly he informed me to kneel around the mattress so he could verify my pussy.

This modern, open, and private-enterprise-based economy has capitalized on its central geographic location, highly developed transport network, and diversified industrial and commercial base. Industry is concentrated mainly in the more heavily-populated region of Flanders in the north. With few natural resources, Belgium imports substantial quantities of raw materials and exports a large volume of manufactures, making its economy vulnerable to shifts in foreign demand, particularly with Belgium's EU trade partners. Roughly three-quarters of Belgium's trade is with other EU countries. In 2015, Belgian GDP grew by 1.4%, the unemployment rate stabilized at 8.6%, and the budget deficit was 2.7% of GDP. Prime Minister Charles MICHEL's center-right government has pledged to further reduce the deficit in response to EU pressure to reduce Belgium's high public debt, which remains above 100% of GDP, but such efforts could also dampen economic growth. In addition to restrained public spending, low wage growth and high unemployment promise to curtail a more robust recovery in private consumption. The government has pledged to pursue a reform program to improve Belgium's competitiveness, including changes to tax policy, labor market rules, and welfare benefits. These changes risk worsening tensions with trade unions and triggering extended strikes.

McMahon, Murphy emphasize difference in tax-cut philosophy for raucous crowd
New London — The two candidates for U.S. Senate engaged in their most substantive policy debate yet Monday night, discussing tax cut ideas, foreign policy stances and how they would pass legislation if elected to Washington.
But the hour-long debate between Democrat Chris Murphy and Republican Linda McMahon was punctuated and often interrupted by the loud audience inside the Garde Arts Center.
The audience, officially estimated in size at 625, disobeyed rules against applause and booing. Although both candidates' closing statements were interrupted and even drowned out by audience noise, Murphy was interrupted more.
"Linda McMahon brought a bunch of people here to try to shout me down off the stage because she's afraid of debating," Murphy said afterward. "She didn't fare too well in the first two debates, so her tactic tonight was to try and bring a bunch of people who would disrupt the debates."
McMahon's campaign hotly denied the charge. Speaking with reporters after the debate but before Murphy's allegation, McMahon said the interruptions made it hard for her to answer questions.
"They seem to be very supportive on both sides," McMahon said. "It was a very lively crowd."
Venue organizers said the repeated disruptions resulted in McMahon's closing statement being cut from live television because the program ran over its time allotment.
McMahon's campaign manager, Corry Bliss, later issued a news release that called on WTNH-TV to play McMahon's two-minute closing statement in its entirely during their late newscasts.
"It is unfortunate Linda's statement was disrupted, but we believe the voters of Connecticut deserve to hear both sides in this important election," Bliss wrote.
Audience naughtiness aside, the evening featured informative statements and policy positions from the rival candidates, especially for viewers who missed the first two debates. The winner on Nov. 6 will replace Sen. Joe Lieberman, who is retiring.
Murphy, the current 5th Congressional District representative, attempted to paint McMahon as selfish plutocrat who would contribute to "obstructionism" in Washington and exacerbate income inequality and the nation's deficit problems with more tax cuts for high-income people like herself.
"The idea that you only create growth by investing in the wealthy just runs against everything that has made this nation and this state great," he said.
For her part, McMahon described the three-term congressman and former state legislator as another politician "whose chief aspiration is a political career."
As she did throughout earlier debates, McMahon repeatedly mentioned her six-point plan for jobs creation and its tax cuts for the middle class and businesses.
Under McMahon's plan, the top corporate tax rate would drop to 25 percent from 35 percent and certain loopholes would be eliminated. The income inequality gap would begin to close under her plan, McMahon said, "because we will have the middle-class back to work."
When asked how she, if elected as Connecticut's freshman senator, would get such a far-reaching plan passed in Washington, McMahon replied that her plan offers something for both parties, and she would build coalitions to get it through.
McMahon later returned to one of her favorite attack lines: Murphy has no jobs plan despite nearly six years in Washington.
Murphy again disputed the claims. "I don't have to talk about my plan as much as Linda McMahon does because I have a record."
"But I will admit that I'm pretty sure I'm not going to get it word-for-word passed," Murphy added, "so that's why you have to elect somebody who knows how to reach across the aisle."
Murphy said he would extend all Bush-era tax cuts except those on individuals earning more than $200,000 and couples earning more than $250,000. Half the money from ending those tax cuts should go to paying debt, Murphy said, with the rest toward investments that benefit regular citizens and the middle class.
"I am proud of my plan," Murphy said. "It invests in middle-class tax cuts, it invests in manufacturing, it invests in our schools and it invests in renewable energy."
McMahon has also called for extending the Bush-era tax cuts, including those for high earners. She said she would be open to tax increases on the wealthy in the future, provided that the economy improves and the revenue from the taxes goes to debt repayment.
The candidates differed in attitude toward the U.S. Supreme Court's controversial Citizens United decision that allowed for unlimited political spending by corporations and labor unions.
McMahon said she supports the decision because she considers it a First Amendment issue guaranteeing free speech.
But Murphy said that big corporate spending "corrupts our democracy" and said McMahon's position on the issue — one generally taken by Republicans — is out of step with Connecticut.
Both candidates said they oppose Iran fielding nuclear weapons.
Murphy said it is premature to speculate on whether he or any other candidate would support a preemptive attack on Iran, but called for drawing "a line in the sand" in dealing with the country.
McMahon said the sanctions against Iran appear to be working, and she is for continuing and perhaps strengthening them. She called for a full defense of Israel.
"I believe an attack on Israel is an attack on the United States," she said.
At other points in the debate, Murphy and McMahon both called for greater discussion about the nation's debt.
"The greatest threat to our national security is our debt," McMahon said.
Monday's debate was sponsored by The Day, the Garde, WTNH-TV and the Robinson & Cole law firm. Paul Choiniere, editorial page editor of The Day, and Mark Davis, chief political correspondent for WTNH-TV and Channel 8, took turns asking the questions. The next and last debate is scheduled for Thursday afternoon in Hartford.
The race's outcome will help determine control of the U.S. Senate. Democrats currently hold a slim 51-person majority over the 47 Republicans and two independent senators. There are 23 Democratic seats and 10 Republican seats up for election this year.

I've got a Monday morning confession for you guys: I listen to too much Drake. Arguably, anyDrake is "too much Drake," but I probably listen to too much, even by lenient standards. We all have our crosses to bear. In one song that comes up often on my iPod ("Up All Night," if you'd like to Google it and then judge me accordingly), rapper Nicki Minaj makes a guest appearance in which she speaks of giving Lil Wayne the "Louis Presidential Briefcase." If she's speaking of the Louis Vuitton Président Classeur Briefcase, Ms. Minaj clearly has fine taste.
The Président Classeur is, like a Birkin, a bag that's really in-your-face about being expensive and made of fine materials without being logo-ridden or otherwise obvious. It's discreet, in a way, but in other ways, totally not discreet–you can tell it costs a zillion dollars from 20 paces, even if you're not someone who's well-versed in luxury goods. It's the perfect status-symbol accessory for men (unless you count watches, which we don't, because this is not the place for watches).

Reuters Health. Vartojant nors vieną aspirino tabletę per savaitę, didėja su amžiumi susijusio apakimo rizika. Europoje atlikto tyrimo duomenimis, vartojantys kasdien aspiriną turi du kartus didesnę išsivystyti makulos degeneracijai nei nevartojantys aspirino. Plačiau...
NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Taking at least one aspirin every week is linked to the development of age-related vision loss, according to a new study.
The Australian researchers, however, caution that there's still not enough evidence to say taking the popular pain reliever leads to age-related macular degeneration, which is the leading cause of blindness in older people.
"I don't think the current evidence is strong enough to conclude cause. We still need to accumulate more evidence," said Jie Jin Wang, the study's lead author from the University of Sydney.
Currently, over 100 billion aspirin tablets are consumed every year, Wang and her colleagues write in JAMA Internal Medicine. They add that it's commonly used in the prevention of heart attacks or strokes.
In 2011, a European study found seniors who take a daily aspirin were twice as likely to develop vision loss, compared to those who did not (see Reuters Health article of September 30, 2011 here: http://reut.rs/Tmi8Er.)
Wang told Reuters Health that her team saw that 2011 report and wanted to confirm its findings by using information it had collected on a group of Australians over a 15-year period.
Overall, Wang and her colleagues had information on 2,389 people who were over 45 years old. Of those, 257 said they took at least one aspirin every week.
At the end of the study, 63 people had developed so-called wet macular degeneration - the most severe form.
The researchers found 5.8 percent of regular aspirin users ended up with wet macular degeneration, compared to 2.3 percent of people who did not regularly take aspirin.
That difference remained even when the researchers accounted for the participants' age, sex, weight, blood pressure, history of smoking and heart disease.
In a commentary published with the new study, Drs. Sanjay Kaul and George Diamond caution that the study had limitations and previous studies found mixed results when looking at aspirin use and vision loss.
They write that the evidence is not convincing enough for doctors to change how they prescribe aspirin, especially with its benefits in preventing heart attacks and strokes.
"In the final analysis, decisions about aspirin use are best made by balancing the risks against the benefit in context of each individual's medical history and value judgments," they write.
Wang agreed that the findings are not strong enough to support a change in clinical practice, but she said some doctors may want to keep a closer watch on patients at high risk for macular degeneration who are also using aspirin.
Dr. Jack Cioffi, chair of Columbia University Medical Center's department of ophthalmology in New York, agreed with the commentary and said people should stay on aspirin if their doctors have them on it.
"Even if there is an increased incidence of macular degeneration, it's relatively small," said Cioffi, who was not involved with the new research.
He also added that people shouldn't start taking aspirin for no particular reason, either.
"I think this is a cautionary note, and it reminds us that every medicine has a risk-benefit profile that we have to be aware of - even aspirin," said Cioffi.

Payroll tax hike: Killer whale or red herring?
WASHINGTON (AP) — Companies are rushing to describe the impact of higher Social Security taxes that took effect in January. They paint a bleak picture.
Cash-strapped shoppers are spending less, many U.S. firms warned in earnings announcements over the past few weeks. They are avoiding small luxuries like restaurant meals and fashion items. And they're reconsidering major new purchases. Wherever people chose to cut back, those companies would feel the pinch.
In the past, companies have blamed flu epidemics, earthquakes and SARS for poor results. The trouble, experts and analysts say, is that these high-profile events are only part of the story — sometimes barely a sliver.
The latest culprit is a 2 percent increase in the Social Security payroll tax, which all U.S. wage earners pay. The rate was reduced temporarily as a measure to boost the economy out of recession, but that "holiday" ended on Dec. 31. As a result, households earning $50,000 will have about $1,000 less to spend this year. A household with two high-paid workers will have up to $4,500 less.
"Any time something like this happens — whether Hurricane Sandy or the tsunami or the payroll tax hike or uncertainty in Washington — any company that didn't perform as well as they would have liked gets to say, 'Look, these idiots in Washington are screwing it up for us,'" says Dan Greenhaus, chief global strategist at BTIG, a brokerage firm.
Greenhaus says he is not surprised by the number of companies grousing about payroll taxes. A catchy news hook can help companies "blame a macrotrend for what may be a micro story" about their individual strengths and weaknesses, he says.
There's little doubt that the drop in take-home pay will drag on economic growth. Government economists estimate it will lower economic output 0.6 percent this year.
Yet the tax talk ignores a host of trends, outside events and company-specific factors, analysts say. They say investors should pay closer attention to these factors when considering how a company might perform this year.
Take Darden Restaurants Inc., operator of chains like Olive Garden and Red Lobster. Like other casual sit-down restaurant companies, Darden faces tough competition from chains like Chipotle Mexican Grill and Panera Bread, whose food and prices fall somewhere between fast-food and sit-down fare. Darden's shares slid 28 percent between their recent peak in September and Feb. 21, the day before it lowered its earnings forecast.
But when the weaker forecast was announced, Darden CEO Clarence Otis blamed the payroll tax hike, along with gas prices and winter weather. He said things had looked promising for the restaurant chain in late 2012 until these "difficult macroeconomic headwinds" blew in. Sales dropped because customers had less buying power, Otis said, despite the restaurants' price cuts and promotions.
"They aren't executing as well as their competitors," says Sara Senatore, an analyst at Sanford C. Bernstein who covers the industry.
Fast food diners, generally lower-end than Darden's casual dining clientele, cut spending quickly when taxes rose, said Steve Wiborg, North America president of Burger King Worldwide, on an earnings call last month.
Wal-Mart offered a similar message when it announced earnings, saying its core customers, poor and middle-class Americans, were spending less because of the payroll tax hike, along with higher gas prices and delayed tax refund checks.
Yet Wal-Mart and other discount retailers saw potential benefits from the tax squeeze. Wal-Mart said it is "confident that our low prices will continue to resonate, as families adjust to a reduced paycheck." Dollar Tree executives said last week that their store would provide a welcome alternative for Americans seeking to cut back.
"We're seeing the effect (of the payroll tax hike) on the consumer," said CEO Bob Sasser, "but we think we're part of the solution and a destination for a cash-strapped consumer who's trying to balance their budget."
Discount retailer stocks are rising. The TJX Cos. Inc., operator of T.J. Maxx and Marshalls, is up 6 percent this year, Ross Stores Inc. 7.5 percent and Stein Mart Inc. 16.6 percent. Wal-Mart is up nearly 4 percent since its earnings announcement on Feb. 21, while Burger King has gained more than 9 percent since it unveiled results on Feb. 15.
Like the mid-range retailers and restaurants that can blame their woes on tax policy, lower-end stores may be trumpeting its benefits to them too hastily, says Joesph LaVorgna, chief U.S. economist at Deutsche Bank Securities.
"We don't know much about the first quarter," he said, and retail sales data for recent months have been revised upwards. The tax hike will inevitably hurt consumers in the first quarter, he said, "but that doesn't mean consumer spending is necessarily going to be weak."
Consumers could keep spending and save less money. The job market is improving and so is the housing market.
LaVorgna noted that people have continued to buy more expensive items like cars and trucks, a trend that "seems to run counter to the payroll tax hype, blaming it for all the problems."
In general, economists say, the picture is far more complicated than a small reduction in take-home pay. People may be saving for biggest expenses while cutting back on items typically considered staples.
In its earnings announcement, Home Depot said sales were strongest of items that cost $900 or more — hardly the marginal purchases that mid-level restaurant chains must worry about, says Brian Sozzi, a retail industry analyst with NBG Productions. The company also did brisk business in flooring, a product set that tends to track renovation activity, a broad driver of spending.
There's no reason to believe the companies are being dishonest about why sales may have weakened. But focusing on the payroll tax, a political hot-button, may be a red herring.
"This might be bad for some companies and very good for others," Greenhaus says. Which companies fall into which group, he said, won't be clear for a few more months.

|MLBPA Press Release
"We are saddened by the news of Gary Carter's passing. Gary was one of the greatest players of his generation, and his enthusiasm and passion for the game will live on in the hearts and minds of those of us fortunate enough to have watched him play. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Gary's family, his former teammates and his legion of fans in the U.S. and Canada."
"Learning of Gary's passing feels as if I just lost a family member. Gary and I grew up together in the game, and during our time with the Expos we were as close as brothers, if not closer. Gary was a champion. He was a "gamer" in every sense of the word -- on the field and in life. He made everyone else around him better, and he made me a better pitcher. His contributions to the game, both in Montreal and New York, are legendary and will likely never be duplicated. My heartfelt condolences go out to his wife, Sandy, and children, Christy, Kimmy and D.J., and to his many friends and fans."

Well, you are making a believer of me, maybe CAM works after all.ReplyDelete
Nah... it's the bone in the nose, the dodo bird feathers and the skull on a scepter that hold the power, isn't it?
If positive thinking helps healing, then you triggered that feeling and it worked.
Really, your role was to make Ms Peel better, and you did just that.
How you got there is irrelevant.
I think it's brilliant. Next time she comes (because she will) she'll ask for paracetamol straight away. :-)
Paracetamol is good, but you should consider prescribing my favorite medication: Placebatrol (hydroglucose chloride).ReplyDelete
Very few side-effects and it can be repeated several times in increasing doses.

Having worked in the ED for 10 years I've always wondered what would happen if there was a standard protocal for the pain patients. A standard protocal such as two liters of fluids, toradol, and benadryl. Let them sleep for an hour. Then if they continued to c/o pain; admit them to the floor for pain control.ReplyDelete
I wonder how long it would take for the "street" to find out that "homey don't play those games no more"!!!
CAM rocks!ReplyDelete
Well of course it does, 911. That'sa what I've been trying to tell you! Now sit still and let me Reiki your dome...
You rock! I was thinking, way to work that CAM. You know I use it on my kids all the time. Kisses on owies, and bandaids if there's any blood. They have amazing psychological effects on a kid's pain.ReplyDelete
Amy: You're right. This absolutely works in kindergarten. Ice packs and bandaids could probably cure cancer if grownups believed in them as much as 5 yr. olds.ReplyDelete
Devorrah: "Ice packs and bandaids could probably cure cancer if grownups believed in them as much as 5 yr. olds."ReplyDelete
Me: Isn't most of what we do just an ice pack and a bandaid anyway? Patient comes in with headache. We give her dilaudid. Patient goes home. We didn't fix the headache. We hid it. The more time I spend in medicine the more convinced I am that our job is to pat people on th head and tell them they will be alright and let their body heal itself. I mean this in a good way. i need that pat sometimes, too.
"The dog bite guy did well and he and his wife winked at me knowingly"ReplyDelete
911: I'm done with winking at doctors, after my recent turn in the ED...
Braden: Well,I guess it depends on the problem. If the patient has a staph infection, she needs more than a pat. She needs drugs AND a pat. Point well-taken, and I largely agree.
I used to often give my 4 year old son his "Placebo medicine" to help him sleep. It was a big spoonful of water, he later started asking for his "water medicine" before bed, and it sure did wonders to keep him in his bed at night. Well, except for the days he sleepwalked, but that wasn't really his fault and unfortunately the water medicine did nothing for that at all.ReplyDelete
Is it me or are the word verification things a lot more difficult to see lately? It took me a bunch of tries to get it right and my comment wasn't nearly interesting enough to warrant all that effort!ReplyDelete
Just like those old commercials used to say. "A mind is a terrible thing"ReplyDelete
perhaps ethically it would have been a problem if you gave her only saline, but you gave her a pain reliever.
If placebo is effective 50 percent of the time, why would it be unethical to give saline? Many other touted "drugs" are less effective than that. Intent and result are many times separated, not only in medicine.ReplyDelete
- Anonymous9:35 AM, April 28, 2008
You say 'ethicists would disagree', but the thing is, they are 'armchair philosophers' who are usually in the role of 'Monday morning quarterbacking'...they are not the ones personally dealing with these very difficult situations in the middle of the night when all hell is breaking loose. Practice and theory are often two very different things, esp when you start trying to apply absolute 'shoulds' to real world problems such as this.ReplyDelete
'cat (and anonymous),ReplyDelete
if your experience is anything like mine you had a nattily bearded PhD ethicist in med school, who smelled of pipe smoke and dressed like a reject from 'starsky and hutch', wax poetical for an hour or two about our atheistic yet sacred duty to never prescribe placebos. i can't remember the tortured reasoning but i'm fairly sure he had never come close to having to take care of dr. deborah peel before. 'cat, i see that you have a post started. let me know when it's going up so i can avoid stomping on it.
ps 'cat, call me soon, eight irons in the fire right now, interested in your perspective. email works too.
pps RADGIRL, yes, it seems the verification letters are getting trickier. blogger must be getting spammed a lot. if YOU ever have any problems let me know.
We put substances and devices into patient's bodies to change the way their bodies work. We also put ideas (including expectations of therapeutic success) into patient's minds for the same reason. We do it because it helps the patient. Isn't that the reason the patient came to us?ReplyDelete
Yeah, I know, very patriarchal and elitist. I should go and wash my keyboarding fingers in lye as penance. However, what I wrote is still factually correct.
Our CAM people would call this 'activating the body's potential for self-healing'. It's not the 'placebo effect' it's 'self-actualization'.ReplyDelete
Awesome. I don't agree that this is in any way unethical; you're prescribing standard first-line therapy for pain and helping the patient make best use of it. Elegantly done.
PS, I wouldn't use Toradol. Last thing I need is an ornery patient with a creatinine of 3. And I've seen it happen with one dose.
You didn't lie, deceive nor prescribe a placebo. You gave the name of the pharmacologically active drug, that it was for pain, and that it may make the patient sleepy (because the "pain" was relieved of course!!). If she read into it that it was a narcotic, that's her deal, not yours.ReplyDelete
I'm definitely having problems with the spam filter too. I thought it was just me getting dumber. Sometimes it takes me 3 tries before I get it right, and I'm an EXPERT on the alphabet.ReplyDelete
To lie to a patient to relieve the patient's symptoms is bad?ReplyDelete
Why does the patient present to you?
For relief of symptoms, not for truth.
I am not a fan of telling lies to patients, but sometimes that is what is best for the patient. Horribly paternalistic of me, but safer than giving a drug with more significant side effects potentiated by the alcohol and benzodiazepine already in her system.
Besides, as has been pointed out several times, you did not lie.
911 Doc, great work. You are a HEALER, I say. You would think that smart ER docs like yourselves would come up with more drugs, like toradol, that sound so much better than they really are. Let's see here...ReplyDelete
I bet your pain in the ass at 2 am would love to get their grubby little paws on one of those babies!
You rock my world.
Absolutely marvelous strategy and I applaud your intellect!ReplyDelete
- Anonymous7:52 AM, April 29, 2008
Hey, I'm going to go anonymous here because I don't want it to be connected to me, but my name starts with an "R" and ends with an "adgirl".ReplyDelete
I think I finally get your fear of being sued. I ALWAYS have a million kids here playing even when we don't invite any of them over. I don't send them away because what's a few more. Well, I'm done being the neighborhood babysitter.
A kid fell off his own bike the other day in our driveway and last night his dad came over to tell me that his fingers are broken and they are going to sue us. I didn't know the kid was here because he was just riding his bike and the kids in our neighborhood (minus my own) run free and have no parental supervision.
As soon as he feel, I ran over and helped him wash off his fingers because they were scraped up. I bandaged him up and put ice on his fingers. I asked him who his parents are because I don't have any idea where he even lives and asked him if he wanted me to call them to come get him. He said he was fine. This was on FRIDAY. He stayed a few more hours and happily played.
Last night (Monday night at 9:30 pm) his dad came over and asked what happened to his kid because he had just had him at the ER and his fingers were broken. He wants to sue us. Are you fucking kidding me?????
I get it now. The world is sue happy and it sucks. SO I babysit your kid every fucking day even though no one ever asked me if it was ok, and when he falls and I try to help him you sue me? This is what is wrong with the world. And I totally get your frustrations with society now.
Dear "Anonymous": I am SO sorry. I've never been sued, but had a near-miss with a friend's child: I had a bunch of friends over (playgroup), and our kids were all under 3 (yeah, we were tired). Moms, babies and toddlers were hanging out in the pool, and one Mom just didn't notice that one of her twins was under the water, quietly slipping to the bottom... Fortunately I noticed, and he was fine. That was it for the pool, even though we had a fence AND motorized cover. My ex-husband is also a lawyer, and we put the house with the pool on the market within the week. The same thing had just happened to me best friend, while her husband, a radiologist, was supposed to watching the baby (who ended up in the hot tub--at least Dad knows CPR)ReplyDelete
My house is the neighborhood hangout too, as I live near a school and I have food. At least I knew all their friends and I knew where they were (under my nose getting help with their homework). It's still a good thing.
As for the douchebag who is suing you, I don't know what state you're in, but this is an issue of comparative negligence (we use that in CA). What are the proportional levels of causation/negligence here, the good Samaritan who helped an apparently abandoned child who was injured, or asshole who lets his kid run wild with no supervision? It all comes down to whether you acted negligently, comparing your conduct against the conduct of a theoretical "reasonable anonymous person" just like you. A scary letter should make this go away. If you don't already have an attn., ask for references from friends and family, or call your local bar assoc.
Email me or go to my blog anytime, and I'm really sorry you're being sued.
Sad to say, the best defense is still a good offense. Those parents were putting YOUR children at risk by failing to supervise them, and the little bugger exposed you to his nasty blood, endangering you and everyone in your household, the little trespasser. If people were nice, I was nice in return. if not, let the games begin...ReplyDelete
i know it's not in your nature but here's what i would do. i would inform the father, especially if the kid was riding without a helmet, that you had no idea that he was riding in your driveway, there was therefore no implied consent for you to watch or supervise his child, and besides that you are concerned about his child's well being given that he was unsupervised so you are going to do the right thing and call child protective services to do a 'welfare check' on all his kids.
end of story.
i love those names! my favorite real drug name is 'sublimaze' for fentanyl. awesome.
Let us know how it goes, Radgirl. Good luck. I'm guessing this will go nowhere, that the Dad is a hothead.ReplyDelete
shit likes this gets under my skin and i can't let it rest. here's a suggestion. go to a porn store and get the inserts out of all manner of gay porn mags. sign him up. done. no fingerprints! and now that i mention it i did not recommend this and i mean it merely as a joke. do not commit mail fraud! something along these lines though... oh, it would be delicious.ReplyDelete
- Anonymous3:28 PM, April 29, 2008
We had a tiny language barrier, so I'm not positive he actually knew what he was threatening. It was an asshole thing to do, but I think maybe he doesn't have insurance? And was hoping we'd feel bad and offer them money? And when it didn't work out like that he got flustered and said things he didn't mean?ReplyDelete
The part that makes me the most mad is that now my daughter can't play with her friend because there is no way in hell I will let the kid near our house again even though he did nothing wrong. And that we live near a jerk that would threaten to sue a neighbor that he didn't even know that has been feeding his kid snacks and watching him for free for months when no one else seems to be paying any attention to the kid.
I'm thinking since he waited 3 days to bring his kid to the doctor, the chances of him actually suing are small. Waiting to see is the sucky part.
That gay porn thing is great, but I don't even know the guys name. Seriously. He came over and yelled at me while I was in my pajamas and never introduced himself. I almost never think bad things about anyone, always see the good in people but this guy is on my shit list. Even if he never sues us. Explaining to the kids what the word "sue" means and telling them they can't have any friends over unless I know the parents sucks.
A few more things like this and I think I will be as bitter about the state of human nature as you all are sometimes!
oh radgirl you are a bright light shining in a dark world! maybe a flaming bag of dog poo on the front door and a ring-and-run?ReplyDelete

On the suing thing, when my daughter broke her arm last year, (jumping off the couch in our living room), the insurance company not only called to ask if there was anyone we could sue for the medical costs, they sent a form that I had to sign, swearing it happened in our house.ReplyDelete
I know people who got sued because a teenager scaled their fence, when they were out of town, and broke his leg. The teenager's parents did not want to sue, but they couldn't stop their insurance company from doing so.
Don't ever get mad at me, 911!ReplyDelete
anonymous-you are scaring me! But part of our homeowners insurance covers that kind of stuff so I guess it would be ok even if that happened. It would make me livid, but I guess as long as the kid gets taken care of (and never comes near our house again even though he is a sweet little boy) I would be happy.ReplyDelete
A lot of times it seems like parents get mad and lash out when confronted with evidence of their own negligence or bad parenting.ReplyDelete
My insurance company was desperately looking for someone to sue after my idiot son fell off a cliff. Sue me for failure to use birth control!ReplyDelete
don't worry, with me bark <<<<< bite.
You're bark is less than your bite?ReplyDelete
I think he's saying it's the other way around.ReplyDelete
I hate our letigious society. Not to stress you out Radgirl, but be careful. Sometimes the biggest lawsuit threats come from outside our borders. I lived in Tucson for the last 4 years. Recently we had a case where some illegals crossed into a property on the border. The property owner "captured" them at gun point and called the police, I believe. The illegals sued him, and the judge awarded them his ranch. It sucks that lawsuits govern behavior, and make human decency virtually impossible in many instances.ReplyDelete
failed math
bark >>>>> bite
Just one of those things my math > my English. And my silliness > crankiness. :-)ReplyDelete
You see why I left the law. By the way, Amy and Radgirl, don't drink sodas. I've just been diagnosed with osteoporosis (only in my lower spine), and I'm only 45. Osteopenia in the rest of my spine. I'm taking drugs (Actonel) to treat it, and I'm having trouble with the drugs (that's the only reason I'm commenting during the workday). Soda is bad for your bones, and I've been drinking a lot of Diet Coke since I was about 10. Shit. I'm off to the Dr. now...
What if I drink soda/pop and take calcium supplements? I am supposedly at higher risk of osteoporosis because of my super suppressed TSH level (.03) and also because I have small bones to begin with. I don't drink alcohol, I don't do drugs, I need my pop/soda!ReplyDelete
I know, I feel the same way too. Calcium supplements didn't help me, and I've always taken them, as I'm a vegetarian. I too am in good shape, average weight, and I don't even have small bones. My last boyfriend said we wishes he was as muscular as I am. And here I am. My ortho surgeon said it's the soda, as I'm such a good girl health-wise. It doesn't even run in my family. Ask your doctor (that's what I"m supposed to say, right?)ReplyDelete
do not post here again. you are banned. follow my advice delivered in our private email exchange. best of luck to you but your posts will be promptly deleted here and if you make any threats on this blog, like you just kind of did, i will call the police and have them arrest you before you know what hit you.

Fuck fuck fuckity fuck! The dad just rang our doorbell again. He wants us to call our insurance company and said we need to pay because his son is having surgery. What an ass. I get that homeowners insurance is for this reason, but once we file a claim, our insurance will go up, our claim free discount will decrease and we will have to pay our $500 (?not positive because we have never had to use it before!) deductible. This is what being nice gets a person. I have taken care of this kid outside and fed him snacks for months! The dad can rot in hell for all I care. I still love the little boy, but there is no fucking way the kid will ever be allowed on our property in his lifetime. I feel mostly bad for my daughter because she loves this kid. Is it possible to get a restraining order for a 7 year old? Because I think that's the only way we can keep him off our property!ReplyDelete
My husband travels all the time and I am sort of afraid to be alone here when he keeps ringing my doorbell to "talk". I live in a nice neighborhood! What the hell is going on????
What's the scoop with Richter? I think I missed that drama!
I apologize for taking over your comments with all my drama today!
get a lawyer's advice. call DCS. fire with fire now. enough of the shit. call the police and get a restraining order. lawyers? please help our good friend.
richter is banned for reasons that should remain private.
Just a minute, let me go back and read your initial post--just got back.ReplyDelete
I don't think you need to be scared at this point, unless your gut tells you otherwise. You're right, though. this is what homeowner's insurance is for, so let them take over--they don't want to pay either. I used to work insurance defense, I know.ReplyDelete
Call your insurance company and let the insurance adjusters sort it out. They have lawyers for that purpose. My Dad ran an insurance adjusting company, so he did this for a living. It doesn't sound like the guy is bringing a civil action, so I'm not sure you need a lawyer yet. I would NOT go over there yourself to tell him to keep his kids off your property--I would write a letter pronto, keeping a copy of course. I would tell him that you will file trespassing charges against his kid if he is on your property. It's important to make a "paper trail" and keep a written log of all encounters. I don't think it's likely a judge will issue a restraining order at this point, as you have to exhaust other reasonable measures first. You also want a witness to any interactions you have with this guy. I would get a TRO if the kids won't stay off: You don't even need a lawyer for that--it's pretty easy: Abused women do it all the time (forms available at www.nolopress.com). I would probably prefer to let a lawyer handle it, though, for the intimidation value. But this is just my opinion, I don't practice any more, and I don't carry malpractice insurance. So don't sue me! Any more ideas, anybody?
And don't panic: this is everyday stuff for insurance companies and lawyers, and they are there to fight this guy for you. The kid was on your property, even if you didn't know it, and there is an implied duty to know what's going on on your property, especially if this family has established a habit of letting the kid come over.ReplyDelete
Please try not to worry. I'll include you in my prayers, and try to let the wheels of justice/insurance do their work.
Take care, and I hope this helps. Seriously, my Dad constantly staked out, confronted, shook down and dragged into court assholes like your neighbor all the time: You're not alone, and the there are plenty of assholes on your side as well (-:

Devorrah-I'd never sue you. In fact that is what makes this all so baffling to me. I wouldn't sue anyone unless they purposely hurt me, and even then I'd probably just walk away.ReplyDelete
I'm sure it will all be fine, but it's so stressful right now!
We are working with our homeowners insurance guy and also have a lawyer on the backburner just in case. Thanks everyone for all your help/support.
You bet--anytime. And I've never sued anyone in my personal capacity either, except for divorce, and that was so low key that I was the acting attorney for both of us (he thought it was boring).ReplyDelete

Ward Cleaver would have forced Wally to go and apologize for getting blood on the neighbors driveway had he broken his finger there. At the very least, let your kids know that this guy is the devil and his kids are spawn of the devil, and to stay as far away as possible.
sc: good advice. Fadgirl: sc is a smart cookie. That's what Richter thinks, not that Richter is much of an authority on law, blood, neighbors driveways, or anything, really, (poor misunderstood) Richter.ReplyDelete

TRICK OR TREAT MEReplyDelete
Hmmmmm. So somewhere in the far off reaches of Canada, north of the border, this poor old man was
kinda being underserved by his hot shot medical team, despite all reasonable attempts at care & intervention. Seniors are known to be non-compliant, yes.... What to do? When nothing else works, call Adult Protective Services! Not only can they get into everyone's medical records (forget about HIPPA, guys & gals), but I would have LOVED to see the expression on Doctor Zhivago's beautiful, arrogant face. How many people do you know who can level the playing field, six-feet under, during a PCP's business hours? At least one, and her name would be......Can't say that, can I. Actually, we were just trying to save you ER docs from that myxedemic geezer coding in your fine ER. I thought you would appreciate the attempts, as does the old geezer. One life saved, one primary......ohhhh, don't go there. I am so in trouble if Dr. Zhivago reads this. I sure hope you docs have a sense of humor. Blessings, Nefertiti

The MIT Lean Advancement Initiative (LAI) was a research consortium that was founded in 1993 and active through 2012. LAI's purpose was to enable enterprises to effectively, efficiently, and reliably create value in complex and rapidly changing environments. Over the course of nearly two decades, LAI's collaborative partnerships with industry, government, and academic partners fostered the development of institutional principles, processes, behaviors, and tools for enterprise excellence.
LAI's complete collection of products and tools, theses, case studies, etc., are available on DSpace@MIT.
LAI's Educational Network (EdNet) was launched in 2002 and grew into an international consortium of educational institutions that channeled LAI research findings and best practices into undergraduate and graduate lean educational curricula. EdNet also co-founded the Lean Educator Conference, an annual conference for lean teachers and trainers. The EdNet LAI Lean Academy curriculum can be accessed via MIT Open Courseware, and an instructor version and the associated Lean Enterprise Value Educational Simulations are available for purchase from Metis Design. EdNet is being integrated into the Institute of Industrial Engineers' Lean Division and will continue to serve as a unique resource for lean knowledge and best practices.
The MIT Consortium for Engineering Program Excellence (CEPE), a research program within the MIT Sociotechnical Systems Research Center, is affiliated with former LAI research. CEPE focuses on lean thinking for large-scale engineering programs by integrating program management, systems engineering, product development, and systems engineering approaches.
