It's a Totaled Car to You

Car Insurance">Car Insurance  It's a totaled car to you.  Look at it. Someone side swiped it, bashed it in, and now the car sits in a lot of a garage for totaled cars, and all you can do is cry.  Does your insurance pick up the bill for a car rental?  How long - a week, two weeks?  What's your deductible anyhow, 500 pounds in the UK, or $1000.00 in the US?  It hurts, it really hurts.  That's only your car!  What about you?

Are you hurting?  Do you go to the doctor with whiplash, sue the other driver, do they have insurance?  It goes on & on.  Have you ever dealt with a claims adjuster?  They are not going to believe your story.  It seems like the other guy is always right.

Did you ever get hit by a city bus?  Do you know how big those mother's are?  We here in Chicago have the biggest buses, and the stingiest city bus claims adjusters.  Unless!  God, a miracle accures!  There's a witness, he saw the city bus side swipe your car, and rip off the outside mirror.  He even gave you his name and phone number.  This only happens once in a lifetime. You get the check.

But back to the bashed up car in garage lot.  That was another accident, another time.  The guys with cameras and notepads from the insurance firm come out to assess the damage.  And the damage is: the car is totaled.  It goes on metal heap.

Just for the hell of it, you take a picture of the car.  The other driver was at fault, and lucky enough, you get a check.

Anniversary of a "Romance"

March 12, 1978 - I was sixteen years old.  I'd like to say I knew better, and I did, but you know when you're attracted to someone, it's all downhill from there. I mean to say, I was no innocent child. It all started in December of the year before.  I worked in a coffee shop, and nailed him with coffee in his cup at 1:30am.dating after a break up">dating after a break up

I told him he looked like my favorite rock star.  "Who's that?" he said in a nasty ass voice.  "oh, you wouldn't know him, he's pretty unknown around here" I said, turning away.

"Who is it?" His name was Mike.  2am in the morning was nothing to me.  I shrugged my shoulders.  "Well, if you must know, it's a guitar player named Steve Marriott."  I turned around to see the look on his face. I was used to people not knowing anything about my taste.  I turned back to leave again

But then I heard a low voice, turned & saw a face that fell, and a direct look.

"How do you know who Humble Pie is?" he said.

"How could you not know who Humble Pie is?" I said. And in today's lingo, I would have added, "loser, stupid".  He was a "Buttermilk Boy" - a country boy from the old country.  But how did I know that?

But, boy, was I on the money.  But he did look like Steve, slanted eyes, the mustache, the high cheekbones.  Turns out it was his favorite guitar player too.

So that was the beginning.  He resembled someone I had a crush on.  It took til March 12th to get rock n' rolling, and I had been warned at least once I was in water over my head with this guy.

I said, on March 12th, standing over the counter, pouring out the coffee, "are you giving me a ride home?"  Well, he finally did, and the rest is romantic history.  At least it started that way.  We sat at his parent's kitchen table drinking beer.  I said, "so aren't you going to seduce me?"  and looked away, thinking another stupid, another loser, but when I looked back, he had great interest in my idea, and let me know by leaning forward with his head in his hands.

It started out so great, but then hit a hard times, and tumbled into rage, passive-aggressive behavior, nasty fights, and two people who had nothing in common, but, well, Humble Pie & sex.  Wasn't meant to last long, and when it ended, I wrote in my notebook, "I'm pregnant, I just broke up with my boyfriend, and I'm 18" It was "30 Days in the Hole" that lasted way too long.break up ">break up

Your Compensation Right!

Personal Injury">Personal Injury

If you've never suffered from personal injury, on the job, a car accident, a slip on the ice, long time work work related illnesses, than you can't even imagine what it's like to claim compensation.  It's a long arduous process that may or may not include a lawsuit, workers compensation, SSI, not to mention the suffering the injury brings on your body.  You've let down your family.  You may no longer be able to move around and even contribute to the household chores.  It's as if your life is taken away from you.  You may even be in a wheelchair, stuck in the hospital, covered with bills.

I've had friends who suffered from "oil man's disease", a disease you get when you work around oil refinery's, scrape yards, working on repairing city buses.  It's rare, hard to treat, and what kind of compensation do you have for it?  Usually, nothing. Too hard of an injury to prove.

Workers's Comp is very difficult to do miss around with, even though it's the only way; unless the injury happened on site in front of witnesses.  Then you might have a chance.  Did you ever try to deal with a claims adjuster?  They are not nice, and no one wants to give you money just because you were hurt on the job.

It's good to have people working for you to see you get the money you need for yourself and your family.  Nothing can take away the pain, but people helping is the next best restitution you can have.

MAGIC LOAN!

http://www.magicloans.co.uk/news-1423-over-half-spend-more-than-30-a-week-on-fuel.aspx

A look at the Brit website Magic Loans, a site that not only helps people out with loans, but has plenty of quick news story's of how everyone - people in the UK, not just here in US - are dealing with the rising cost of living: mortgages sending the kids to school, and just so we do not feel alone in America with our gas prices - the UK, and all over Europe, apparently, have same problem.

The article listed here "Over Half "spend more thant 30 pounds a week on fuel".  In American dollar terms, that's around $60.00 or so.  And European cars are built a lot smaller (not too many SUV's or Hummer's in the UK). 

The Poll shows many interesting figures that we Americans, who look at the signs of gas prices with sinking hearts every time we drive by a gas station can relate to, 23% invest around $45.00, or even $60.00 in oil for their cars.  Then there are the added taxes.  Even in smaller cities, like Yorkshire and Humberside, the taxes were steep, but curiously, could be bought on line (?).

An Expert in the field of finance cautions drivers to budget the price of "petrol" (gas, as we vulgar Americans say) into the car price.  Some serious thought should be put into the total cost.

Meanwhile, a fifth of potential drivers use loans to buy new cars.

It all reminds me of The Orton Diaries, and how Joe and Kenneth bought a little flat together, and paid it off at once.  In London.  It couldn't be done today.  Joe Orton couldn't write plays for nothing these days. They didn't even own a car.
