Morning all. Chris, I wish there was something I could do to help you deal with this issue. Tom, be careful going up and down that ladder. Barrie, stay young cuz getting old sucks. For me, I have to bring 60 pounds of knee surgery paperwork and get a physical by a doctor asking me all kinds of questions about my blown out knees, who will determine if I will receive either $1 or maybe up to $2 back from this 11 year worker's comp nightmare.

Could be worse. A couple years ago a home health worker stole $3,000 in cash and about $1500 in food stamps from my blind stepson who is raising three kids by himself. Judge made her pay $293.00 in restitution and expunged her record so she can work for other clients. My stepson was her 3rd victim.

I'm screwed, I had to call the general that I work for and they sent out a couple crews to do a one man job, so they can bill me overtime rates. They also kicked us off the repair and they are taking over, they got the water back on this morning but it is still leaking. They are going back Monday night to replace the line and back charge me. Gonna cost over 10k by the time it's done.

Chris, Sorry, but I told you so. You need to not be so nice next time and just explain, "I'm sorry, my business is shut down...good luck with finding another company to work with!"

Rusty, that does not sit well with me. I would be posting the picture of that judge and the story on every new media outlet I could find. Exposure to this fool is your best ammunition.

It was warranty work. California let's them sue me personally even if the company is gone.

Could there be anymore reasons to despise Ca?

What a ********!

Cause, you really need to start expressing your feelings more, don't hold back, tell us how you really feel about that ******** state...

 

[Chris]

I have nothing good to sat about that state. We give a one year written warranty, California makes us liable for 10 years.

 

['Cause]

When I was working, I had to go out to that realm of unreality 3-4 times a year for a couple weeks each time. Hated every minute!

I spent 37 years there. It was ok when I lived in the mountains but hated every other bit of it. Can't wait til it falls in the ocean

 

[Havasu]

Wait until I get out!

 

['Cause]

Perhaps if everyone in AZ went to the border and jumped up and down in unison we could have beachfront property!

 

[oldognewtrick]

Wait until I get out!

Are you making any progress?

Evening Chris.

Evening Cause.

Evening Mark.

Evening Tom.

Tom, we are currently looking at property but with my sister being at the end stage of her life, I can't/won't budge until she reads her final chapter. Doc says 2-4 months max.

 

[oldognewtrick]

I understand, tough things to do, having loved ones close means a lot to those in final days. Will keep her and your family in prayer.

 

['Cause]

I understand all too well about loss, and family ties.
I can appreciate the situation with your sister, it is not easy
My twin sister was killed when we were five years old. My Father passed in '68 when I was 3 months into VN, I was 20. My Mother was gone nine years ago. And my 3 year younger brother, barely two years ago.
That was all of my family.
In my three consecutive years in VN, (yes 3 consecutive, I did not come home for 3 years) I was with a Ranger Co attached to the First Infantry Div., we were LRRP's, it started out with 83 men, at one point we were down to 41. That was a lot of brothers to lose.

You must stay as close to your sister as much as you can and be there for support, that is all you CAN do for now. There is an awful lot I would have done differently but I have little regret for choices that I made. Above everything, Family needs to come first. Cherish the time you do have with your sister and with the rest of what Family you have. Take the time to be with them as much as possible.
Just my two-cents worth of advice.
Concentrate on the now, and if later you choose to move from there it will happen.

You and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers Mark.

I appreciate all the kind words. We feel fortunate considering she was diagnosed with stage 4 ovarian cancer almost 5 years ago. Yeah, it has spread, but she is trying to hang on for her grand child's birth in April.

By the way, I see Chris's country is very smart and found a way to protect their kids in potato land.

The overwhelming majority of these shootings take place in gun free zones. The cities with the strictest gun laws have the highest murder rates or crmes committed with firearms....what am I missing here...
