California's is pretty crappy too but for different reasons.   We are in the middle of a mild teacher shortage that is going to get a lot worse really soon.   And yet every year the State makes it harder and harder to become a teacher.   And not in the name of producing higher quality teachers.   Just more BS red tape and hoops to jump through.

Did you know there are health care providers that scan public police records for accident victims?

I was in an accident last week.  Stopped at an intersection and a truck slammed into the driver's side of my car, causing the side airbags to deploy.  I was taken by ambulance to the ER, but it ended up only being a minor concussion with some neck pain.

I'm not sure what triggered it, but within the last hour I have had two calls to my cell phone from these phony medical referral "services".  

First one was the "Injury Referral Group".  Basically telling me all my medical care would be covered by the other person's insurance, etc.  She said I could go to any doctor, but she had one provider that would do direct billing to other insurance so I would not have to worry about it.  It is a chiropractor all the way on the other side of town.  I asked if there were any other options and she said no.  She was basically begging me to make an appointment.  Saying they would do all kinds of extensive tests just to make sure I'm ok.

About 30 minutes later I get another from "Accident Referral Service".  Started out with similar spiel, but after I told her I was feeling ok now, she ended the call quickly.  

Is this #### legal?  I'd expect this from law firms, but it seems these were representing specific health providers.

Probably legal to reach out.  Interestingly, not okay for a lawyer to do that.

Had no idea.  Technology + ambulance chasing V10.0.  

I do know that security monitoring salespeople listen to police scanners.  When a car full of non-neighborhoods mens kicked my door in - in the middle of the day, a security alarm company's business card was in my mailbox within a half hour of being called in.  

 
Scary fact: Car accidents are the number one killer of dudes who are a little younger than shuke and don't have a sandwich made of multiple little Debbie snack cakes makes after them.

When you hit reply and you see an old quote box with something you'd started to quote in a previous session, click on the bar at the top the quote box.  That "selects" the whole rectangle of the quote, and you should see a little square button to move the quote (a box with arrows in a t shape pointing outward, left right up and down).  Now hit the backspace/delete button.

A future shukie:

So, when senior center Dennis Clifford was asked what will be his best memory from playing college ball, recent history was possibly clouding his recollection. In response, he stammered, lowered his head for a few seconds before raising it again, eyes red with tears, and said: "Going out to eat." He then shook his head and lowered it again.

Son of a gun went back to Mexico to chase his lady.  But, the good news is his son was able to join the Mexican Armed Services - I think the Navy.  My buddy is back in Portland, so I'll get clarity.  

Am I too old to join the Coast Guard?  I like to cook and speak a little French, if that helps.

You do realize saying, "Pardon my French" before you drop F bombs isn't actually the same as speaking French.

 
Got calls from 3 more ambulance chasing "doctors" today.  One place called me three times without leaving a message.  I called them back and strung them on a little, but she got angry with my because I was asking for the doctor's name, which she would not give me until I made an appointment.  She finally gave it to me and then hung up on me after I asked her to spell it.

You should bring up some other "injuries" from the crash.   Chronic flatulence, pryapism,  superfluous ejaculate, the inability to tell the difference between the moms on the Fresh Prince...

I had no idea.  That is really ####ed up.

Do you know if these were specific kinds of doctors?  Never heard of such a thing.  

No wonder insurance costs are out of control.

Tell the next one that due to your significantly impaired cognitive abilities, your medical guardian is the one making decisions about your health and that they need to call and talk to Steve. Then give them the phone number of one of the other places that have already called you. Or Donald Trump's campaign office.

 
Obama's not going to Nancy Reagan's funeral.  He's going to SXSW instead.  

Did you hear that?  That was the sound of millions of conservative heads exploding at once.

Seems rude.

Not an Obama hater, but not a particular fan either.

But I don't have many ####s to give about stuff like that.

 
Facebook has already alerted me to the horror of Obama missing this funeral.  His wife will be there, but let's continue with the outrage because it feels better.  Also, this:

Fun facts: President George Bush Sr did not attend First Lady Pat Nixon's funeral.

President George W Bush did not attend Ladybird Johnson's funeral.

President Ronald Reagan did not attend Bess Truman's funeral.
