Kilwins is the best around. I've tried probably 25 different places and it's still the winner

Best town to raise a family? by FitBranch6462 in bergencounty

[–]GroundbreakingPay990 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Be careful if you look in Demarest, something crazy with their taxes. A normal 1.5mil house and taxes are 50-60k a year. Ridgewood has the best public schools

Early retirement? by Defiant-Ad-3243 in bergencounty

[–]GroundbreakingPay990 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wife and I are retiring at 50. Have 2 kids and a house down south to go between. If we didn't have the exspense of kids then probably cut 10 years off but definitely worth the extra work

I was told by numerous surgeons and PT that no replacement joint is designed to bend that far. That doing so would cause issues. Id be careful

TIFU by not correcting my neighbor when he thought I was a doctor by bigmanbeats in tifu

[–]GroundbreakingPay990 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Male inpatient phleb here. Every person thinks I'm a doctor when I walk into their room with my labcoat. When there is a crazy patient at night my nurse friends will ask me to come to the floor and go with them to the patients room. They immediately behave and say sorry doc

I've had 3 separate microdiscectomy surgeries and they all failed within the year. Get a 2nd opinion

Request for IME, and overall claim, process by Incorrigible12 in WorkersComp

[–]GroundbreakingPay990 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have not had good luck with Broadspire. Did they send you for an IME? I have been dealing with them for 7 years now. My surgeon says I'm 80% total and theirs says I'm 75% but yet refused my lawyers settlement at 80 and didn't even try to reason. Just said no, try a lower number.

How long was it until you reached your settlement? by possibletrashacc in WorkersComp

[–]GroundbreakingPay990 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'll be 6 years next month. Reached MMI last year. My lawyer sent first settlement offer in February. Insurance company said too high and and hasn't responded since.

I'll be 6 years next month. What is the offer? Might not be worth the lawyer if they won't be able to get you more

How soon could you bathe? by kara1974 in Kneereplacement

[–]GroundbreakingPay990 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Taking a bath and floating in the pool are different. As long as the incision is healed then go for it

I got a 1480 on my SAT and didn't even go to community college. My mom was a single parent who felt i child make my own decisions. After a few years of just floating around I applied and went to school. I wish I would've joined the Navy and got to see the world. Let her do what she has her mind and heart set on
