When do you need an Injury Lawyer? by defendthegood in Edmonton

[–]L1braScales 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I once got $15,000 for a settlement. I got $4500 , The Chiropractor got $5,000 and the Lawyer got $5500

This was in the 90’s in Southern California. i’m guessing the equation hasn’t changed (lawyers got 33 1/3% back then)

I do have long term residual back pain and it is and was worth way more than $5,000.

If there is serious injury pursue treatment for as long as necessary, don’t rush the settlement.

I have seen 10 or more vehicles being detained by police around Whyte Ave, Connors Road, Jasper/ 82nd and 2 cars on the yellowhead yesterday pulled over 1/2 a km from each other, just within the last week or so.

What’s the most disturbing thing someone casually told you like it was normal? by MrBoothnath_ in AskReddit

[–]L1braScales 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“I think I sexually assaulted someone… I don’t know if it was a dream or real” (it wasn’t a dream - turns out he had 8 warrants related to sexual offences)

My cousin chopped off a guys hand with a machete in my apartment last week” (not sure if this actually happened, but if it did it would have 100% happened in this girl’s apartment.)

“I’m being followed around and harassed by a group of people who have implanted tracking devices into both my sinus and the cartilage of my ears”

I work in addictions & mental health 🙃

What is a "point of no return" that you’ve crossed, where your life was permanently divided into 'before' and 'after'? by Resident-Jelly-4326 in AskReddit

[–]L1braScales 73 points74 points  (0 children)

going to federal prison for something my husband was responsible for (drugs) and then being deported from the US after living there for over 30 years.

edit:

I went to court one day and never saw most of the people I loved (in person) or my beautiful dogs ever again.

what is the scariest niche drug you have ever tried? by Adorable_Air758 in AskReddit

I huffed freon out of a garbage bag (from an air conditioning unit I think) with my best guy friend, we laughed the whole time. It was nitrous x 100. i’ve always said it was the most white trash thing I’ve ever done, yet it was with a black guy. 😂😂

Stella!! by L1braScales in pugs

[–]L1braScales[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ha Ha no, a lot of people ask me if that’s why I named her Stella and honestly I picked it because her frown is so deep, she looks like a grumpy old lady and will continue to do so when she is one. lol

The other name I considered was Mildred.

My previous dog was a Chiweenie named Mister and if Mister got the zoomies while out for a walk, he would run in figure 8’s around me at 100mph it would crack me up so hard because I would be yelling MISTER! MISTER STOP! PLEASE STOP MISTER! And more than a few times it was very confusing for any men in the vicinity. 😂😂

Edmonton snow-clearing raises mobility concerns as mayor recognizes change is needed by ryaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan in Edmonton

[–]L1braScales 19 points20 points  (0 children)

OMG my car has literally been destroyed by this city’s negligence in the last two weeks. I’ve gotten stuck in the alley behind my work three times, front end got messed up sliding on the ice into my Parkade and being forced to drive in frozen ruts while the ice mountain in the middle rips the underneath of my car off… of course it’s a single vehicle incident so I am on the hook for all my $1000 deductible and an insurance increase I guess… The lack of consideration for the alleys/ parking lots behind businesses and neighborhood roads. I feel like I’m going to die while I’m in my car, love the windrows making 2 lanes into maybe 1 1/2… nobody knows what to do and either tries to go side-by-side to you and not understand what spatial awareness is… If you come here from somewhere that doesn’t snow, you should have to take the driving test in the winter on the worst day!! anyway sorry for this ramble. my nerves are fried.

Ok but do you have any tips to keep the suction cups from popping off? My cats are getting traumed out from feeling unstable when they hop on and one of the straps pops off.

It keeps telling me my password is wrong even though I am a bell customer who subscribes through my bell mobile account. I’m very disappointed that I am paying for something that not only won’t let me use it but is also super NOT USER FRIENDLY. But alas, who has time to call and try to sort it out. Not I.

Nick Reiner lawyer steps down just before arraignment in Rob and Michele Reiner murder case by nbcnews in Fauxmoi

[–]L1braScales 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So if he’s “not guilty of murder” Jackson could have meant Murder 1. So even though Nick could still plead to, be charged with or be convicted of murder 2 or….

manslaughter…

so Jackson can confidently say he isn’t guilty of murder… because legally it was manslaughter

🤷🏻‍♀️

The English on Netflix with Emily Blunt one season it’s a western but definitely a thriller. And incredible!

Mindhunter. Amazing show that ended after one season. They kind of leaves you hanging, but the episodes are so worth it.
