After hearing about people suing fast food chains for hot coffee, I guess it should be no surprise to learn that one woman in Arkansas is suing over injuries sustained on a treadmill. You usually don’t think of danger when you think of treadmills, but the scenario played out on many a TV show apparently played out when the machine kicked into high gear and knocked the woman on the floor at a local gym. The video has yet to be released, but she is claiming, among injuries, anguish and grief. Give me a break!

Every once in a while, I will work with a client who would have been heavily benefited by having long term care insurance. They end up being a burden to their families for a long time as their health costs skyrocket. All in all, though, I would only recommend the insurance to people who anticipate needing long term care later in life. I would say anyone still ticking at the age of 70 should consider it if they can afford it.

My law firm is fairly new, so it took a while for my partners and I to get in the black. We had to finance the building and hire the help, so it took a few high profile clients to get us into the black. Now we have to be more careful about our financial reporting, especially when it comes to be tax time. I think now that we’ve touched the black, there will be no looking back. Staying in profit is easy to do when you are taking 30% of people’s settlements.

I have always had a fascination with old age Chevy Corvettes. I mean, they are all great automobiles that represent the auto industry in America very well. If the United States could have kept producing cars like these, we’d still be a major player in the auto producing world. Anyway, I wanted to restore this old Corvette shell I picked up from a friend for less than a grand. The engine still worked, but a lot of worked needed to be done. Luckily, I had a catalog from www.corvetteguys.com, so I was set when it comes to Chevy parts.

Being on the road all the time, I have had to sleep on many a mattress. Not every one of them is a supreme example of comfort. Personally, I prefer firm mattresses which are hard to find in lousy hotels. A lot of them are like sleeping on a giant pillow. You wake up tired and aching. It’s simply no good for my arthritis. Sometimes I would rather sleep on the floor than these dirty, uncomfortable mattresses. I wonder where my practice will take me next? Hopefully not the Motel 6.

Does anybody remember the national do not call registry the government set up a few years ago? It really went a long way towards eliminating unwanted phone calls. I mean, I still get annoying phone calls, but the difference is definitely felt. I wish someone would do the same thing when it comes to the internet and popup ads. I am tired of going to a website and accidentally clicking on an annoying ad, delaying me. There should be a government run popup blocker to increase productivity.
