That sucks dude....we have the same problem here....we keep having to reduce our coverage because the rates keep going way up. I only keep the insurance in case something major was to happen. I never go to the doctor because between the co-pay and the deductible I might as well not even have insurance.

KevinD
04-13-2011, 02:26 PM
On the plus side, my personal coverage is still paid in full by my employer (minus the deducts) The $825 is for my family. What really sux is that when I started this company, after 5 years, family/spousal coverage was paid by employer as well. I hit 5 years in Sept. It's just difficult to have gone from a company (I worked there for 15years) that I paid $50/month for family's coverage, and our deducts were $1000,/5000.

You were rear ended. Your rear bumper, left taillamp, and rear doors need to be replaced. There was no damage to any portion of right van side. The accident was in February and the shop you took it too gave it back to you the first week of March. Now, the sliding door is a issue? No, its not idiot, cause its not related to your accident. Please don't argue that it is!!! :banghead:

He probably is too stupid to turn the switch back on. Some of the vans have right and left switches to disable the automatic doors, we turn them off to avoid smashed fingers and burning out the motors, breaking cables trying to get the door to stay half open. Occasionally I'm sure the tech forgets to turn them back on.

Ahh, just someone trying to get a freebie then. Like you said, the slider isn't broken from the rear end damage. Seems to be more common these days that people scream loudly and frequently to get anything they want. Have I mentioned today that I hate people in general? :mrgreen:

the guy is looking for a freebie. its a cargo van, he uses it for deliveries. the sliding door is damaged from use, not the accident. but this asshole was looking for something from day one. when I wrote the initial estimate he point to damage to the left van side. a large scarp on the lower portion and said it was related. I told him to kick rocks as he was hit dead center of the rear of the van. I point out the bumper is the shape of a V and the damage to the doors are high. the scrap on the side isn't related. guy is a plain asshole

Not quite, but I once on a recover theft had a customer claim that the thefts took off the left fender on her green Saturn and replaced it with a red one. Cuz the thefts must have had their own green Saturn with a fucked up left fender and the best way to fix was just to steel a whole vehicle. [-(

Someone came in to repair it. He switched out the thermocouple. Just waiting for the water to heat up now. $158.

Technically, I could have done it myself if I wasn't worried about blowing the house up (it's a gas water heater). I watched a video on it and it doesn't look hard at all.

Last night some cowardly thieves broke into the two houses beside us.They got into one guy's garage, stole tools and then smashed the windows in both vehicles and took dvd's and the gps systems.They got into the other neighbor's garage as well, she wasn't home.

My father and I awoke to discover that our walk-in door for our garage was kicked in at the bottom, the frame has moved about 4 inches in and the whole door assembly is fucked.Luckily my Dad bought a good deadbolt lock and that stopped them from getting in to our garage.I went to bed at 2:30am last night and my neighbor was up until 3am.
These guys were brave, they were literally kicking in the bottom on my garage door....grrrrrrrrrr.

So the cops came to poke around and I mention that it's a good thing that I wasn't awake while these mooks were going through our backyards and kicking in doors.
Cop gets pissy and says the only thing I need to do is call them if I see something suspicious.I responded...no, I will grab a broom or bat and go out to talk to people I perceive
as a threat.He says - Then you will be charged sir.

I got really pissy at that point and said - Oh really? How long will it take a car to get here if I was to call last night? Try and be honest..10 minutes, 15...20?????

Then my Dad had to calm me down, I had to get to work and it was probably lucky as I didn't care for the cop's implication.I wasn't talking about using a gun but I was talking about defending two people in their late 70's (and myself) when there was an intruder on our property.

A few robberies have occurred around here within the past 6 months. Lucky for the robbers, the homeowners weren't around at the time. Georgia is a "stand-your-ground" state, which means if some idiot starts shit with you on the street, you can beat the ever loving shit out of him and claim self-defense. If someone breaks into your house, you can use lethal force and kill them in defense of yourself, your family, and your property... just make sure they're IN your house.

I hear that Lankabilly....
I have a spot on my commute where there's a long light, the beggars walk out and down in between two lanes of traffic holding signs.

I realize that some of them have mental problems and perhaps other reasons for not working....but when I see an able bodied guy who can obviously walk and hold his hand out, and spell words on a sign correctly, my sympathy stops.He can come and slave with me at my work.

Besides, in my example when the light turns green, these guys gotta beeline off the street in moving traffic and that pisses me off after their little saunter down the street.

This is true. My father in law a few years ago was deluded into thinking he was going to hit the Reader's Digest jackpot so one year we had piles of gifts from him from all the crap he bought -- CDs full of "the hits of Simon and Garfunkel as interpreted by Schlemiel and Shecky", a little crappy Shortwave radio that picks up nothing - that type of thing. Apparently the more junk you bought the more entries you get in the grand contest. He spent almost all of his extra cash on this...and zero payoff. RD kept sending him encouraging letters like "you're shortlisted now" etc. etc.

They are so trusting - almost like children in life and on the internet. All the brothers and brothers-in-law had an intervention-like talk with him about being so trusting...now he gave up his PC and has a Mac that's been really locked down from where he can surf!!

So for the past 4 weeks I haven't been able to close my teeth together..after a few visits to the dentist and some drugs, I can chew again.
Yesterday at work I go to turn my head and now I have extreme pain and swelling...across the front of my neck ffs!!! :x

I've had years of neck and jaw problems, but never had pain on the front of my neck, right next to my larynx :lol: I can't win.............

I like my dad, I would never do that to him :hand:

My dad-in-law insisted I set this up because he drank the kool-aid that my brother-in-law was dishing out about how Macs are superior etc etc. And this one is an ancient, slow one that he wanted to cast off. 2 years ago, I worked with my father-in-law and got him a reconditioned IBM for a steal of a price (less than $200 - employee discount), I added RAM for him etc., but his son convinced him his old Mac was superior. Never mind that I'm a trained tech, and his son is...a senior's centre worker who can't use a computer to save his life.

So, he gave it back to me after having it for 2 years - oh well. Now I have a nice PC for the Mrs.

Damn, Hal that sounds awful. I can't say I totally feel your pain, but I did have 2 impacted wisdom teeth, and after the freezing went away I wanted someone to kill me. They had to do emergency reconstructive surgery on my jaw.

When the pain recedes, will you be "cured" or at least a few degrees better?

Naw, there wasn't any trigger to this latest round of crap.Usually it's a dental appointment or getting smacked in the face :lol: that will start it.

I am looking forward to getting back to my normal daily level of pain, then I can stop crying here :lol:

Don't laugh (you cruel, horrible man)

I said to one dentist the next dental tool that goes into my mouth will have a chamber with 6 rounds.He referred me to a chronic pain clinic with a shrink :lol:

Most people in my world get depressed, it's completely natural and understandable.It's the not knowing that really bugs me...how will I feel tomorrow when I get up? Can I go out in public and eat for Mother's Day this Sunday? Frankly, it's more embarrassing than anything for me.I'm a talkative guy and not shy in most group situations....but when it gets bad I have to take a time out and people always misconstrue that for being angry or aloof or whatever.

My dad had those symptoms...he lived with chronic pain because of a back injury courtesy of a car accident. It took the specialists 5 years to figure out he had a hairline crack in his spine. Science finally got Tomography and other bone-probing medical techniques in the 80's to determine what exactly the problem was. Trouble was the "cure" back then (spinal fusion) was equally as painful as the injury and actually made things worse all 'round. They don't do that anymore and for good reason. Unfortunately, my father was one of the Guinea Pigs.

Not only does the person in pain live with it, but all those in the family do as well. So, I hear ya Hal. I've been there.

Because if the TV goes out, it's more than likely a complete signal loss from the cable company, whereas the internet signal can be lost singularly while the cable TV signal keeps transmitting. :)

FFS why are insurance companies and "medical experts" such a bunch of idiots!???


had a letter through this morning relating to my RTA i had in may 2008 thats still ongoing as i still suffer with discomfort from it.
so i open it up and start reading and it goes blah blah blah, Dr doofus was under the opinion that pain from the resolving whiplash injury (can wiplash last 3 years?:-k ) would settle by the end of April 2011 (in previous reports its been " your injuries should resolve within 12months, then after they didnt he gave me another 6months, then after that he gave me another 18mnths as i'm still suffering and now over the 18months he said i'd be all better in), he stated that it would not be possible to explain the continuation of the pain beyond normal exam and investigations. blah blah blah

then goes on to say that as dr doofus said i should be better now they dont believe i will be able to carry on claiming compensation beyond the 3yrs and 1 month that i have been suffering for. :huh: :-s


to make it more confusing dr doofus is saying that its whiplash, whereas another medical expert, a good dr, has seen me and identified theres a problem in the shoulder joint, i forget the technical name he gave it, and said that i will probably suffer indefinitely from it . . . . . . but which report do they keep using?

thats right all the ones dr doofus has given in!!! :meh: :x :banghead:


i just got done writing a strong reply to the garbage they are telling me, and am sending it off 1st thing 2mro morning . . . . . . . .the Bastards!


end rant . . . . .. . . cheers for listening . . . . . . .. . ohh and redred i kept my swearing voucher for this one, i'll probably pull out that one for their crappy reply! :D

Had it out with head of our CSR department today.Typically I get along with her.

We had an issue from January that their department was supposed to handle.I had sent her a number of reminder notes to get the process done.
Today the fecal matter hit the oscillation.

She has the gall to try and put me in a bad light with a few manager's names on the email, implying that I had missed something.

I spent an hour searching for notes on the subject, copying and pasting and just finished crafting a note that absolutely hung her and caught her in the lie.
I know all of the members of her staff and now they're warning me that she's furious and will 'try and burn me.'

good luck :lol:

She had to contact our IT dept to have her mailbox enlarged :lol:

she's kept every email, received and sent since starting with our company years ago...
she also uses XL spreadsheets to a fault...for everything.I'm sure her tampon schedule is on a spreadsheet somewhere.

So when we have these dustups, rather than remember a phone conversation she tends to drag out 'evidence' and then sits there smugly,
while the entire company behind her back knows that she dropped the ball once again and is backpeddling...

today I tore a page from her book and listed 6 instances thru email where I had asked/warned about the outcome if her department didn't accomplish the task.
she blew me off each time by phone, citing she was busy...

my fave was a note I had sent to her December 19th/2010 and mentioned that Christmas will arrive before the client gets their account fixed :lol: :lol:

I got a plastic shopping bag and brought it out to him.He doesn't thank me...shoots me another inbred IQ winner look and says - Do I have to do this everytime it happens?
