insurance scam
this girl is looking for more than just medical expenses, trust me. Same thing, went to hospital and had x-rays, nothing wrong, then all of the sudden, couldn't hardly walk. How do I go about this with absolutely no one knowing it's me who is turning her in?
Insurance Scam
Usually, I am the type of person to pretty much tell you what's on my mind, but hubby doesn't really want me to say anything to her because he is good friends with her hubby and figures if I upset her, then he has to stand by her and that'll end their relationship. With me, it's what you see is what you get and I tell it like it is, maybe that's why this is bothering me so much. I always mind my own business too, but for some reason this is just bothering me more than I should allow. I am fearful of her even coming to our home, falling and getting hurt, then suing us; or even having her in my vehicles now because of what I am seeing - a woman I thought I knew but now see this dark side. She is figuring on going to court if they don't give her what she/lawyer wants and I already told her "not to count on me to testify in her behalf" because I totally am in disagreement with what she is doing". She said nothing to that comment. Hubby figures no way she'll get what she is expecting due to no surgery and it's just a strain, but I have seen people fall in sh__ and come out smelling like a rose, and she is one of them. I agree with other poster, she has turned in all claims to private insurance so maybe they'll check into that. They already asked to access past medical records and lawyer said no, that it has nothing to do with this, but that was early on right after accident. I am not afraid to say something to her, I am just not sure if I should, especially since my hubby really doesn't want me to. He cannot even stand her anymore and they used to be fairly close and tease each other as being bf and gf; that's how close we were. Also, secretary is my neighbor - go figure. We just leave that subject alone when together. I don't know what I am going to do, if anything, and I think you are right, I just need to address this issue directly with her because it's not in my nature to talk behind someone's back like this. I only have 1 face and do not particularly like myself for talking about her like this, though until now, I have only talked about it with my hubby. Thanks for all your advice.

Insurance scam by own friend
I am just looking for a few opinions on how I deal with my own friend, in my opinion, scamming an insurance company from an accident for an outrageous amount of money to pay their bills because of some serious debts. She has a past history of suing others for minor accidents; I found this out later on. Now, she is claiming not able to perform sex with hubby in order to get even more money. Right after the accident, she was fine and then decided (maybe she's for real, though I have seen differently) that she is in severe pain. No one else in that vehicle was hurt, even those seriously tossed from side-to-side. I cannot say too much because I don't want her to figure out it's me typing this. Now, my dilemma is I want so bad to bring this to light and do the right thing because now, I cannot even hardly look at her since I have come to realize she is not who I thought she was. I personally know the insurance person and secretary both, though don't want them to know who I am if I were to call and say, "don't be stupid, don't settle, check past medical history". Dr. says degeneration of spine is not from accident, but chiro states it has worsened since 2 years ago. I have seen her mow grass with a push mower, do outdoor activities and so on, but when it came to working, couldn't do that for quite some time due to pain. How do you do outdoor sporting activities, but you cannot sit at your desk at work. She is a complete and total fraud looking for money....We doubt she'll get what attorney is asking for, but we are best friends with her hubby and with that said, do I leave this alone or somehow bring it out. It totally disgusts me. She is fine until people are around and then she starts gimping and grimacing like she's in really severe pain. I just don't know. I think about this every single day and it is hard for me not to type or say something to open some eyes to this fact. She is just lucky she hasn't been on video by an adjuster. 
They are a scam. Do a search, lots of info.

LOL, so true. Sylvia is such a scam; check this out.

Heard several weeks ago about bank scam
My husband received email the other day from Bank of America asking him to update his files, which of course includes social and the like. We had heard and funny because he does not even have an account there. I also received a call from a person who said she represented BOA wanting to know how I was enjoying my acct. Told them working, no time to talk.
It's all a scam. All you need is a good, firm toothbrush - brush at least sm
for 2 minutes AND you have to floss every day if not almost every single day. Also, what keeps your mouth very clean are those whitening strips! Because it is loaded with peroxide, it actually keeps your gums and gumlines from developing bacteria that causes gingivitis.
I used to get canker sores and sores in my mouth ALL THE TIME. After I started whitening my teeth regularly I haven't had a sore since. I bit the side of my cheek the other week and NOTHING surfaced from it. For years and years every time I would bite my lip or cheek it would develop into a nasty sore. I thank those Crest White Strips for keeping my mouth clean!
Costs -- sm
Business class internet (for website hosting and management mostly): Roadrunner - $104.00
Cable and digital phone with unlimited long distance: Roadrunner - $112.00 all including tax and fees, etc. Looks like a lot, I guess.
My costs are:
High-speed Internet: $60/month
Vonage: $19/month 500 minutes anywhere in USA
TV: Whatever comes over the air for "free."
Ability to work out of the home nekked if one so chooses: Priceless.
My costs....
Phone $45 a month, 2 phone lines, 1 for fax machine
Internet $50 a month, unlimited, billed every 3 months
DirectTV $70 a month, with HBO channels, east coast feeds (I live on the west coast) and local stations. Will not give up Sopranos or being able to watch any other shows on east coast time for anything!
Like crap!
I am so hearing you! Even when I go to Dunkin Donuts, the coffee tastes terrible. I told my husband that I don't think that they are using Dunkin Donuts coffee anymore. I would kill for a decent cup of joe these days. It sucks when I make it at home and it also sucks from Dunkin Donuts. I have started buying Rock Star Juiced energy drinks for the a.m. to get me moving, but I really need a good cup of coffee. 
No, I think the whole thing is crap
quite honestly. That was just one of my gripes.
If this would actually do anything to make us safer then I suppose I would be all for it regardless of the cost, but it won't.
college costs
DD just got accepted to the Pratt Institute, an art and design college in NY. Cost for first year including room, board, fees, books, etc., $48,000. I don't know whether to laugh or cry. Seems like a lot money to learn how to paint and make collages.
There's more to college costs than just
the tuition. Parents have a responsibility to their children to see to it that they are educated in a manner that prepares them for a career, not flipping burgers. I know that that wasn't always the norm and that college was a privilege, but now it is a necessity. You can't make it in the world without some kind of degree and not helping your children with their education is selfish.
That's not to say that the child shouldn't bear some responsibility in this. He/she can certainly get a part-time job to help with books, living expenses, etc. I see nothing wrong with the child taking out the standard student loan either, but dumping them out the door at 18 with nothing more than a high school education is not being a responsible parent. Perhaps that's the problem today. So many parents don't have time or are too selfish worrying about themselves to make sure their children are set. It's not about money, it's about responsibility.
Judging by your responses, I'd say your husband's divorce was quite bitter and perhaps the animosity you feel should be directed toward his ex-wife and not the children. They obviously had no control over that money that was given to their mother. While my children aren't ready for college yet, one thing I have learned already is that you never stop being a parent.
Why it costs 400 bucks
They make custom trays for you, which last pretty much forever or until your teeth move significantly, whichever comes first. Then you just buy the tubes of bleaching gel, which is not that expensive. The custom trays are wonderful. They are held on tightly by the gel. My dentist charged $300 and the gel was $35 a box, which is 4 tubes, which is a LOT of gel.
I would not have the trays made right away if she has just gotten her braces off, as from what I hear her teeth are likely to shift somewhat.
This medicine is not OTC, rather it costs
1300.00 per month! Can you believe that? It is for HIV so it is something she really needs to get. My pharmacist told me Medicaid might be able to pick up what her insurance co does not pay (they will pay 400) so actually the cost per month is a whopping 1700. My pharmacist also told her to push hard while speaking with her own ins place that they should cover the cost. Maybe she just was not forceful enough. Bottom line, I was just seeing if others faced similar situation.
What a crock of crap!
First of all, my child would not attend a school which forbids dancing, rock music, hand holding, etc. For him to be suspended if he takes his girlfriend to prom at another school is ridiculouos! What he does on his own time is none of the school's business. The school sounds like some kind of cult or something. I say they can go f*c* themselves.
sick of that crap!!!
Kids aren't safe anywhere.....Just this weekend in sunny Atlanta we have an grandfather kill his 6yo grandson and wife over a watermelon and a guy with a shotgun go in his backyard and threaten to blow his brains out!!! There are tons more other stories about people getting shot and everything here, it is common.... My husband uses guns to hunt and that is what they should be used for.... THE SHOOTING NEEDS TO STOP!!!! I AM SO SICK OF PEOPLE GETTING SHOT or THREATENING TO SHOOT PEOPLE!!!
CLASSMATES ya have to register costs zero
very easy at classmates.com, except for their ads (ignore them) - find the state, the school, the year you're interested in, then scroll away for the people's names. Most marrieds put up their maiden names at classmates.com.
If the houses around you are crap, your value will also be lower than it should be.

there's a world full of crap that we can do away with.

Here's the spider that almost made me crap myself!
Wow, you know your spiders! It was indeed a garden spider...Argiope. Website does indeed say they are harmless but I don't believe that for a second! Fangs were as huge as my head they were!
I just went out and documented the whole fiasco as best as I could...therapy really. I found the spider and took a picture of "her." Apparently only the ladies get this big. As I was taking pictures, I found 3 more!!! That's 1 spider per square foot!! You can read about it here: http://www.perin.org/Residents/Ellie.html and just scroll down until you see "August 2007."
I'm gonna go type now because it makes me feel safe. Yep, 2 beers into me, nursing a third, and I'm hittin' the keys. Should be interesting.
You fell for that ONE OF A KIND crap, too?? nm

my brother used to pull that crap. SM
My mother tried everything with my brother. Finally, one day, while the brat was in the middle of one of his fits, my father came in and was shocked at what he saw. My father went outside, got a bucket of water and threw it on my brother right there in the floor of the kitchen. Needless to say, my brother NEVER pulled that crap again.
costs $30-$40,000 per year to house each
The jails are overflowing here.....and it costs anywhere from $30-$40,000 annually to house EACH individual inmate...that the taxpayers pay for....
something to think about.....
Holy crap woman!
You have some big babies!! Noah 3 weeks early and still weighed 9 lbs 14 oz? Someone needs to put you up for sainthood. I bet you had a few choice words during labor.
House costs here are not that fricking high
We bought a new home, 4 bedrooms, 3 1/2 baths, stucco, lovely wooded area behind us for about 220,000 about 3 years ago. It is a wonderful neighborhood with tennis courts, 3 swimming pools and loverly! I know the prices of homes in California really high and watch HGTV and I, for the life of me, cannot see what is figured into those prices because what you get is certainly not what we got for a third of the prices there. Husband believes in paying the monthlys in advance so our mortgage is coming down really fast. We are still able, thank goodness, to enjoy all the extras such as dinners out, theater and the like. It is really sad to be in a place where the housing market is so far above what it should be that people are unable to have decent housing.
So in other words, reward him for pulling this crap?
Not me. I would confront the situation head-on & nip it in the bud. Otherwise, it will just happen again with another woman.
Visited Asheville, NC and loved it. Seattle costs $, but

It would take VOLUMES to explain all the crap she has pulled over the years. nm

I've noticed the rising costs of groceries lately
I believe the cost is partly to blame for the obesity in this nation. It is so much more expensive to try to eat healthier. I can make pizza for my husband and 3 kids for under $10. Yet, when we have chicken, potatoes, a vegetable and bread -- it's closer to $20. Of course when I serve the "full course" meal, my kids expect dessert, too. Is there no end?
I actually found myself stocking up last week on eggs because they were on sale and I knew I'd be making deviled eggs for T-day. I bought 6 dozen eggs. I have never bought that many eggs at once before in my life. But I saved 75 cents a dozen.
crazy stuff! Who buys this? My mascara costs $ 4.-- to $ 8.--.nm

burned the crap out of my belly with mashed potatos
I was just stiring instant potatos and then somehow it jumped on my belly and now I have this 2-3 inch mass of skin that has blisters, some of which have popped, and this one 2 inch round lesion that just looks gross. I probably should have gone to the hospital, but since I have no money I just treated it over the counter with antibiotic ointment. Has anyone done this before? If so what did you use? It is painful!!!! I bought this lidocaine stuff, but it hurts worse. At least it is healing!!! I am a dum dum!!! Those potatos were out to get me darnit!!!
lets pray he gets the maximum time; piece of crap that he is.

I have been making my own laundry soap. It only costs me about $10 for a 6-month supply. nm

Is that over the counter. I checked on Zovirax ointment and it costs $180 for a teeny tube. That
is crazy and the insurance wont pay a penny.
this is funny *lol*.......el....ya know the rest
    
LOL - no, the rest were a partial

Good. She is no better than the rest
of us, but she thinks she is. Isn't she 26 years old??? GROW UP. GEEZ. She is just getting too much attention and SHAME ON HER PARENTS. They are enalbing her. 45 days. GREAT. She better not get out again.
Her visitors can bring her magazines and books, or maybe she cannot read. LOL
Me too! But I cook, he does all the rest : )

I can't believe nobody could possibly believe maybe this man just has a kind heart and saw a woman about to give birth ALONE, who's maybe not in the best of situations, and he was able to help.
There are kind people in the world, and really they have known this woman for a decade, there is a friendship there.
My husband doesn't consult me on purchases, nor do I consult him, we have separate accounts, we make our own money to use as we wish. I can assume this couple is the same way, since the OP had to check HIS checkbook to even know what he spent.
The stylist was lucky to have a customer with a heart.
The rest of the story . . .
I took him the stuff as a thank you for his time and because he looked like death warmed over (found out later he'd pulled 16 hours, off for five, and called back to that intersection). Actually, when he came back with flowers I was shocked. I figured his main agenda was to talk me out my panties since his girlfriend was on a cruise or something. I had just come out of a 14-year marriage that went from good to bad to downright ugly. The last thing I wanted (or felt I deserved) was attention from a decent man. I said thank you for the flowers but I can't accept them. I would put water out for a dog on a day like that. No big deal. I declined his offer to go out and he persisted. I figured he was turned on by a challenge and I would stop this right quick. I told him I was fresh out of a bad marriage and that I like my men like my cats--neutered. Well, he had a thing or two to say to me. He said he simply wanted to take me to dinner for my kindness in giving a snack, he wasn't trying to get in my pants, and he sure as hell wasn't asking to marry me (God help the poor SOB who ever did ask me is what he said). Well, then I felt like a hateful shrew so I apologized and agreed to meet him that Saturday in a public restaurant. We had a very nice time. He gave me his number and said call when you feel like it and I hope you will share your number with me if you feel comfortable. No pressure. He became my best friend and true partner.
Thank you for sharing the rest of
the story. It just proves there are really decent people out there, but sometimes it is difficult to trust. I am the same way. I am so glad things worked out the way they did for you!
Do not know much what is going on in the rest of the world, outside US........nm

there is really no bed rest anymore -
I went home from the hospital 12 hours after my son was born and had no problems whatsoever. I was at Wal-Mart shopping that night because the doctor told me it was good to start walking and just not to overdo it.
I don't remember there being any pain after he was born, just soreness all over really.
Because the rest of the thread was compromised & only the OP
