Personal Injury

Sometimes people get hurt…sometimes it’s an accident, sometimes it isn’t.  Sometimes you feel like someone should pay for what happened to you, other times you see it for what it was…just an accident, no ones fault.

If you feel someone should compensate you, you need to make sure you get the right attorney.  One who will be there to answer your questions, one who won’t send you to their paralegal or legal secretary every time you call…one that is experienced in your injury.

Last year my mom went to Canada.  She had no trouble at all getting in to Canada or back in to the United States.  She didn’t need a passport, she simply showed her id.  She took her birth certificate just in case, but never needed it.

Now that has changed.  You must have a passport to go to Canada and back to the US…I was told it doesn’t matter how long your trip will be for, it’s still required if your trip is only to go grab a Canadian coffee!

Well…I guess whatever is necessary to help keep terrorists away…but I can think of a few things I’d like to do that is sure to keep them away! :-)

Geocaching

The kids have been begging me to take them geocaching.   I’ve heard a lot about it, I’ve read up on it and it does seem quite interesting and extremely fun. 

People and organizations all over the world have put these caches in different places for others to find and will give you the coordinates to that cache.  You would use your gps to find them.  Seem easy?  Well, it’s one thing to find it, it’s another to actually get to it.  That’s part of the fun. 

The only problem with us doing this is that I don’t have a gps.  I found where Buy.com has a great Garmin StreetPilot c550 GPS Navigation System w/ Bluetooth. This is such a great price I’m considering buying two, one for me and one for my husband.  This would be really nice for our annual road trips, also.  We like to go on a road trip at least once each year…usually we aren’t sure where we’re going until just a few weeks before we go.  Many times, while we’re on the trip we’ll decide to go to another destination.  Just last year we went to Oklahoma, Missouri and Kansas.  While there, we decided to check out Iowa and Nebraska as well.  I can think of a few times it would have been nice to have one of these with us!

I just got a new laptop…it’s pretty decent, but Vista is horrible.  Programs that should work fine are crashing halfway through using it, games aren’t working properly….it feels like there is very little ram sometimes. Everything takes so long to open…sheesh. Sometimes I feel like throwing it out the window!! ;-)

Actually I wouldn’t…I can’t afford to throw that much money out the window!

If anyone has suggestions for me on my Vista problems please get in touch with me…it’s driving me crazy!

Windstorms

We’ve been off line for a while now…windstorms came through the area and messed everything up! We had no electricity for eight days, no cable for more than two weeks and we still don’t have a house phone. :-(

You really begin to realize how much you depend on electricity and cable when it’s taken away from you for a while! :-\

My kids were actually handling it better than I was. I don’t like being without the internet…neither do they, but I was complaining about it more. ;-)

I do have an aircard, which helps a lot…but is entirely too slow.
