Personal Injury Lawyer's Commercials

Do you watch much TV between the hours of 10am to 2pm?  If so, you're probably either retired, partially retired, disabled or partially disabled.  The commercials set to run during this particular time frame are specifically aimed at the last 2 groups; disabled or partially disabled.

 Those commercials are by Personal Injury Lawyers and they're absolutely dominating the commercial space during that time of day.  They'll tell you that your accident could be worth hundreds of thousands of dollars and all you need to do is make one, simple phone call.

 The thing these lawyers fail to understand is the depth of laziness for people these days.  If someone would only make the call for them, meet with the attorney and forward all their medical expenses for them, things would be hunky-dory.  The reality is most of them will only leave the couch once or twice a day.

 I first noticed this daytime commercial phenomenon about 3 1/2 years ago when I retired from the full-time workforce.  At first it was just one law firm doing the lion's share of advertising.  Other law firms took note and just a few short months later, it was about four different law firms.  Here we are roughly 3 years later and there will be at least two law firm advertisements every single commercial break.  During a couple of the breaks, there are no fewer than four and several of them are repeats of a commercial that showed just seven minutes previously!

 So I totally get that if you're home because of a car accident, that was no fault of your own, you're likely to be home watching TV during the 10am-2pm window.  And trust me, if you've been injured in an automobile accident, I have ZERO issues with you suing the responsible party.  My issue is that my time is being bombarded by personal injury attorneys that will NOT take your case unless they feel it is; A, winnable and B, going to be a sizable settlement.

 So here's the deal all you accident victims; get up off the couch and make the phone call.  Place the blame squarely where it belongs.  And lets hope that personal injury lawyers get so overwhelmed with cases that they stop advertising during my Judge Judy time.

 That's how I see it,

"The Circle of Drills: A Dentist Dynasty and the Saga of Aging"

  "The Circle of Drills: A Dentist Dynasty and the Saga of Aging" --- Life has a funny way of looping back on itself, weaving familiar patterns with unexpected threads. Yesterday, I found myself facing one such loop—right in the dentist's chair. As I sat back, preparing myself for my yearly exam and cleaning, the young dentist introduced himself. "I'm Dr. Nico Scordakis," he said, followed by the revelation that he was the son of my dentist of the last 40 years or so. Cue the existential realization: I'm old enough now that my healthcare providers are passing down their practices to the next generation. It's a moment that encapsulates the strange poetry of aging—an unspoken baton pass from one era to the next. It's not just about the dentist; it's about the reminders that all things in life are quietly slipping through our hands. It's seeing the world evolve in ways that feel both comforting and unreal at the same time. The father-son duo...

Why are pet stores still selling puppies from breeders?

Heidi Ron and Dora If you know me, you know I am passionate about several things; Cars, music and animals.  If you know me well enough, you may also know I worked a police K9 for 9 years.  I have the utmost respect for these four-legged warriors whose greatest love is working alongside their human partner. Suffice it to say, I respect their work ethic and their devotion to their human family. With that being said, I now have 2 pet dogs in my home (my police canine passed in April of 2016).  Both of my current dogs are from local rescues.  We got our first rescue dog 4 1/2 years ago.  She is a German Shepherd (GSD) we named Heidi.  Although this was our third GSD, she was our first from a rescue.  Our other GSD's were really good dogs, although both had health issues. Fast forward to February of 2017, we adopted a year old black Labrador Retriever we named Buster to be Heidi's companion.  Both of our rescue dogs are nothing ...

Flag Day is today

If you own a flag, today is a great day to fly it.  If you don't own a flag, today is a great day to buy one. There had been ceremonies celebrating Flag Day since the middle of the 1800's, however it wasn't until August 3, 1949, Congress approved the national observance of Flag Day, and President Harry Truman signed it into law.   Personally, I look for any occasion to fly my flag.  I'm not some crazy, over-the-top zealot.  I just happen to love America.   Reciting the pledge of allegiance every morning in school was a source of pride for me.  When I attend sporting events, I always remove my cap and place it over my heart while the Star Spangled Banner is being performed.  If you're talking to me when the national anthem begins, you can expect me to turn toward the flag and ignore whatever you might be saying.  My iPod has Whitney Houston's version of the national anthem on it; it gives me chills.  I proudly support law enfor...
