Got a message from HD and realized I haven't visited in so long! I really need to show more support, because I love knowing this site is here!
I've been a busy girl. Now have two grandchildren, two married daughters, one son away in New York for law school, and my youngest (daughter) just turned 13. Husband still recovering from car accident, mother doing well after quadruple bypass surgery. Two law suits in full swing, and a very busy girls' softball organization to run.
Still keeping my Paré site updated when I can. Actually, I'm redoing the whole thing right now, and am so glad I can link straight to here for all GAH info.
I'll try to hang out here more often. Hope everyone is well!
What have you all been up to?

Welcome back, ThatGirl! ;D Lawsuits? Do you have Pam representing you?

I would represent you, but states insist you go to law school even if you can pass the bar exam without law school.

Our lawyer is just too nice for this kind of work. Another driver fell asleep at the wheel and nearly killed my husband in 2010. The other guy took full responsibility for it, and yet his insurance company has done nothing but treat us like criminals ever since. We need a lawyer who is underhanded and vicious like the insurance company has.

We need a lawyer who is underhanded and vicious like the insurance company has. Insurance companies are nothing more than leeches in this avenue... ESPECIALLY when their client accepts responsibility. (Yes I had my share this year too, but nothing compared to this - which makes me even MADDER for you). I wish you the best That Girl - no one should go through that hell that you're going through.

Thanks, HD and Mel. Yes, it does suck. It's been a miserable education for me, that's for sure. Didn't know when a person accepts responsibility that their insurance company could still try to say it was the victim's fault and that they are faking. Even after major spinal surgery! Ah well, we're just glad he's alive.

Yeah, my case the girl backed up into me - on the road - from a backed up spot. I cited state law (she failed to yield ROW), they said "well the officer knows this" (Um... you apparently don't or want to weasel away from payment), I demanded a SPECIFIC explanation, and they gave me the run around. Clincher was when I called them out that they admitted she had 50/50 responsibility (which wasn't true... but it was a huge difference from NO responsibility) they shut up completely. Filed the complaint with the state and won. And this is far minor compared to your nonsense, so if it was bad for this I can only dread what YOU are going through. I mean really - insurance companies are unfortunately full of lack of common sense. People may be naive on some things, but we aren't stupid.

I hate people. I never did get anything from the car wreck I had years ago. Stupid insurance companies, lawyers, and delinquents!

Yes - I agree HD. They're stupid, and yet act like they know it all when you clearly show that they're trying to get out of paying a legitimate claim by quoting state law to them as well as pointing out that there is evidence in the report that the other person DEFINITELY was at least partially at fault. I still scratch my head at their claim she couldn't possibly be at fault - um... you hit the other car, that is part of the fault there was an accident to begin with.

Hi HD! Thanks! Yes, things are ok. The lawsuit is over, our son graduated from NYU Law, and my second daughter and her husband are going to have a baby in November. SO....yeah, pretty busy. LOL We went to New York for his graduation, my first visit there. Pretty amazing, especially when you have a son who has been living there and can show you everything. I'm from San Francisco, so I am used to a "big city", but New York is on a different level. It really is Gotham City!
Heading off to Las Vegas for a softball tournament tomorrow.
How about you? How is everything in your life going?

I can see how one would love it! I'm glad to be home though. Where did you live? Traveled so much for girls 14U softball this summer. Just got back from a 7 day World Series.

I lived in a few different places, but mostly in New Jersey. I was in NYC all the time though.

New York, New York! A Hell of a Town!
*sigh*
I grew up in The City. (Yes. It is called The City. Because it is THE City.) I miss it terribly.
Heeeeeeey peeps! How's it shaking?
