WildTiger 1296 Report post Posted June 14, 2021 10 hours ago, NotchJohnson said: Also because it was in a parking lot it would not have been a traffic act(no fault). We called our insurance and they said that it was better to pay the damage ourselves because if you make too many claims the insurance company may cut you off. We have not made any claims since the ice storm of 98, but don't want to abuse of this policy either. The damage ended up costing around $350.00. If a similar thing happened again, I would take the girl and her family to small claims court. Even if considered "no fault" her family should be liable for at least a partial payment of the damages. It would also help teach the girl that there are consequences to their actions. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

roamingguy 300292 Report post Posted October 28, 2021 Yesterday went for x rays in downtown Peterborough. So far no big deal...well except finally they're doing something about my knee But parking has gone for a $hit in Peterborough, parking lots I knew are gone, parking garages too too low for my truck. I finally parked on the street a ways away (and uphill climb)...harder than imagined with two bad knees But what sucks is the x ray (requiring a bit of leg turning/twisting) and the walk...today my knees hurt...on a 1-10 (10 being the worst pain) are about a 9 out of 10 Tylenol and ice packs today A whining rambling but not complaining...except for downtown Peterborough's parking😆 RG 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
roamingguy 300292 Report post Posted November 27, 2021 Woke up to the Oldies radio station playing (about 1 in every 3) Christmas songs. And if history repeats itself come Dec 1 it'll play all Christmas songs till the New f*ckin Year So today got to dial in Classic Rock on the radio they don't play any Christmas music. At least the presets on my truck already have Classic Rock dialed in A Scrooge Rambling RG Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Don't get me wrong I do enjoy a few good Christmas tunes but only has we get close to the time of the year. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pretty funny when passengers don't understand why there news updates from Los Santos and Liberty City between songs. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NotchJohnson 214136 Report post Posted December 6, 2021 I was snowed in this morning and worked hard to get myself out from where I was. Finally came in to work for 9 am. I know what you are going to say, "those are regular hours for government workers" but I usually show up at work for 6:15 am. I'm tired now and would like to take the rest of the day just to rest, but I need the money so it's off to work I go. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

roamingguy 300292 Report post Posted January 8, 2022 Well thought today I was getting lucky...laundry room free. So I got my laundry washed or so I thought. Yes got a load in the washer. When I went to change loads around there was water coming up from the drain in the floor flooding the laundry room...second time this has happened in the past three weeks, first time to me. So I have wet laundry hanging up in the bathroom drying right now and will hopefully finish the load Monday or Tuesday Plumbing in this old apartment building has been an on going problem for as long as I can remember.

roamingguy 300292 Report post Posted January 10, 2022 And the hits keep a coming. Yesterday flooding in the laundry room...today, now in fact power out all over town.

NotchJohnson 214136 Report post Posted January 24, 2022 Early this year I lost some hearing in my right ear. Shortly after I lost vision in my left eye and that is getting better because now I see floaties. What really sucks is spending the weekend at the hospital with a out for this world heart rate. The doctors manage to take my heart rate down to 130 bpm but my usual rate is around 70(at rest) so it is still high. I really don't feel good right now but can't stay home and I'm trying to avoid stress. 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wynn 589 Report post Posted January 25, 2022 When I had floaties in my vision, it was because I had TIA and had a stent put in - all good now. I hope your problem is a lot less serious and that you recover soon. Take care. 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NotchJohnson 214136 Report post Posted January 26, 2022 I'm considering quitting this site and not because I don't like it but simply because of my condition that I have since the weekend. As you all know I enjoy posting pictures of sexy ladies and commenting on many subjects that are being discussed on here but now I find it hard to view pictures on my monitor and can't do it for long. I'm getting help to fix this issue but it doesn't seem to happen very fast. Ciao! for now my friends and I'll try to visit when I can. 1 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
roamingguy 300292 Report post Posted January 26, 2022 Look after yourself and health first. Although not all cases the same my "floaties" settled down and I only occasionally see one or two every now and then.

NotchJohnson 214136 Report post Posted March 3, 2022 Because of my vision and glare from bright light and white snow I can't drive well after the sun is up. Yes...I'm used to getting up early and my boss told me that if I wanted to show up later I could but I want my independence back so I show up to work early and leave late when the sun comes down. The nice thing about this is that my work is West from home so I don't see the sun on my way to work and either on my way home East in the evening. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
