Nathan's Corner
Quote: michael99000Everytime you use the word slight to describe your pain your settlement gets cut in half.
Okay maybe I'll try moderate? ;)
Quote: NathanSomeone did mention that I should have taken a picture of the license plate, but I probably would have gotten into trouble for that...
If you were able to get the plate number those would have been an excellent pick 3 in the lottery. Just saying
a chance you could be pregnant? "No, I'm still a virgin." I wonder if the doctor wants you to have a pregnancy test. Let me ask ."
-.- This face is the best emoticon I can use to describe how I feel right now. I feel like I'm in an SNL skit right now and am the patient dumbfounded by the weirdness of certain medical questions. Or at least watching an SNL skit. Seriously this is what you'd see on SNL not expecting it to happen to you in real life!
Quote: beachbumbabsThe number of self-identified virgins who have given birth is huge. And I am absolutely NOT calling you a liar. But ERs and doctors have learned the hard way to treat all women of childbearing age as potentially pregnant until verified not to be. There are too many drugs and procedures that can harm or kill the fetus.
Okay you do have a good point especially with surrogate mothers or people who have done sexual, non penetrative acts.
Quote: CrystalMathThere’s probably no money in it unless the bus caused the accident. In Florida, drivers don’t even need to carry liability insurance. Unless you are seriously hurt, I recommend trying to file a claim with the driver’s insurance, but good luck.
Are you sure? I thought Florida required all registered cars to have a $10k minimum liability coverage.
Quote: DRichAre you sure? I thought Florida required all registered cars to have a $10k minimum liability coverage.
It’s not liability. It is 10k personal injury and 10k property. Personal Injury covers you and your passengers, not whoever you hit. Even if you had 10k liability, it is virtually nothing.
Quote: NathanI kind of wish that I had taken a picture of the license plate...:/
Just pay for a copy of the police report. It might be the best $10 you’ll ever spend.

It will be in the police report. That car didn't drive away. There was a police response, correct?
You should have left in an ambulance last night.

I'd have to go through the bus company to ask that. The picture I took should help me in a big way, especially since it has the bus number on it.
Quote: billryan314 ?
314 is part of the bus number just not in the same exact sequence. I mentioned seeing 314 when I was talking about the bus number and cheerfully and playfully saying that's gotta be a good Lottery Omen soon before getting rammed and suddenly getting very serious.

Thank you. By any chance are you now living in Florida?
Quote: DRichThank you. By any chance are you now living in Florida?
No. I was in a car accident and my attorney, who’s from FL, said it’s a terrible place to get in an accident. Just make sure you cover yourself enough.
You're too old to be a virgin Nathan. However unlike many of the immature males here, I'm (hehehe) a 😂
Quote: djatcI was driving through Primm and thought about buying a lottery ticket in Nathan's honor but decided against it since I don't wanna do a pushup
can't* do a pushup

Quote: NathanI have a gambling question. What exactly does, "Backed off," mean? As in,"I got backed off at Caesars Palace because I was card counting!" It's not the same as "Trespassing/Banned," right. Does "Backed off," just mean they don't allow you to play table games?
It's when they tell you not to play anymore, or in other words, "Back off from our game." So yeah, you pretty much got the gist of it.
The answer to Nathan's question about why the doctor wanted to give you a pregnancy test is that people frequently lie about drugs and sex.
Last day at work I'm called by the pre op nurse alerting me that my next patient admitted to heroin use 2 days ago. This just means that he will likely need more opiods or a different way to treat his pain, but not a reason to cancel. Cocaine use, on the other hand, can have life threatening consequences if I'm not aware. So I ask the guy about cocaine use, and he swears no use for at least "dos meses". Two months. The surgical resident ordered a toxicology screen which came up positive for cocaine and opioids.....
I think I'm up to a half dozen teenage girls who tested positive for pregnancy who said there was no chance they were pregnant.....
Quote: SOOPOOAs far as the pregnancy test, to me it brings up an ethical dilemma. If a patient denies any possibility of pregnancy, but is still of childbearing age and still has a uterus, she must get a pregnancy test before any non emergency surgery. But who pays for the test? The patient, of course. So why can't the nun be allowed to refuse the test?

If I take adderall (prescription) and get Novacain at the dentist is it going to F me up?
I’d obviously tell the dentist if the situation came about. I’m just curious because I’ve of meth heads dying from local anesthetic.

Doesn’t matter how much you give him, it’ll all be gone the first day
Last year, while doing my New Years Cleaning, I found an X-Men 1 I evidently bought and promptly forgot about. Neat freaks never get to enjoy these experiences.
Dude, I don't know where you parked the time you found the money but I'd park it there again.
Quote: MrVSomebody opened your car without breaking anything and left you $600.00?
Dude, I don't know where you parked the time you found the money but I'd park it there again.
Trouble is it might be anywhere I parked since maybe June.The strange part is the bag is identical to the one in my safe. I think I bought them as part of a lot, so it's possible the money was in the bag when I bought it. I really don't know if I misplaced the bag and found my own money or if the money was in the bag when I bought it.
Main thing is I have $600 I didn't know I had yesterday.

That's awesome. Now you can help Nathan with her medical bills.
Quote: billryanSo I was giving my car its annual New Years cleaning when I found a strange travel bag in the backseat. It looks just like the one I keep in my safe. I open it and there are six $100 bills, in it. I go inside and open my safe and sure enough, my travel bag is in it, and my money is there. Pretty strange. Could someone have really broken into my car and left an identical bag with money in it as a Christmas present? As I never lost the bag with $600 in it, is it possible it's from the future?

I am attributing this to user error.
Edit: Wait wtf, 2018 and 2019 aren't leap years.....gotta wait till 2020. U guys bad at calendar maffs.
if I figure this out I might write a book about it, make a video, or put it on a website. Is pretty odd nobody's ever done that.Quote: NathanAnother gambling question. How exactly does rating at Table Games work? There was a thread on WOV where posters were like,"I do higher bets in Table Games when the pit boss is there and I lower my bets after he leaves. I do it so I will be rated well." And many posters say they don't want to be rated at all. I'm assuming that posters who don't want to be rated have something bad going on such as playing after being trespassed or on the self exclusion list or something which is why they don't want to be rated. I'm assuming that being rated gets a Gambler free food, free play, free hotel stays, free limo rides, but of course being rated will eventually let them know who that Gambler is and the Casino will be like,"Walter White has been trespassed here because he was caught selling Meth in this Casino last month. He's persona non grata." ;) So, Walter White doesn't get comped for his table games play and is escorted out by Casino Security or even the actual Police.
why, did your bus crash injuries heel up? Or are you suggesting you had lots of drinks on NYE?Quote: NathanFeeling a lot better today than on New Year's Day. :)
Did you get on the bus around 11, sipp'N a drink feeling fine?
Quote: AxelWolfwhy, did your bus crash injuries heel up? Or are you suggesting you had lots of drinks on NYE?

My bus injuries feel a lot better than they did two days ago. :)
Quote: AxelWolfI highly suggest you stop talking about this and contact a personal injury lawyer. They will probably come to you for FREE.

“In my defense, he seemed like an honest lawyer, and the TV ad shows him to be a good guy”.
Welcome back, Boz! :D But in all seriousness, I wouldn't just trust any Joe Schmo I see on TV to be my Attorney. I'd do intensive research and then choose. About the settlement thing, I'd probably be getting more like 70 percent I am assuming if I go to Court and am awarded a Settlement, 20 percent would go to my Lawyer and 10 percent would go to Court costs and fees.
Quote: NathanAbout the settlement thing, I'd probably be getting more like 70 percent I am assuming if I go to Court and am awarded a Settlement, 20 percent would go to my Lawyer and 10 percent would go to Court costs and fees.
I don't know how shysters rip off, I mean represent their PI clients in Florida, but out west there is a contingency fee agreement where the lawyer gets one third of the gross settlement amount.
The client pays all medical bills out of his / her two-thirds.
There is no percentage allocated to court costs and fees: whatever they are, if any, they come out of the client's two-thirds.
To select a good lawyer you could go to the AVVO website and look at reviews of lawyers.
Whoever you get, reject their 1/3 contingency fee and insist on them only getting 25% of the gross or 1/3 of the net remaining after costs and bills are paid off.
They don't like it when you stick up for yourself but they'll cave in at the end, usually, and if not find another lawyer.
Do not hire one that advertises heavily: they do that because they have to.
Quote: NathanRoulette Session went from being a losing Session to a Winning Session at Roulette today! :D I had a big paycheck again and rather than spend $150 on Lottery tickets that LOST, like I foolishly did when I got a big paycheck in July, I decided this time to be a bit more rational this time. I played $40 in Lottery, and $20 in Roulette. That $20 was gone soon, and I did a single walk of shame to the ATM. I withdrew $60(Still $30 less than that stupid $150 I blew in Lottery) I played $10 bet in Roulette on Red/2nd 12, and got decent return when Red/2nd 12 showed up. I did this like twice and again got a decent return. I won the $40 back I gambled in Lottery, the original $20 lost in Roulette and the $60 I withdrew from the ATM. Plus more, so I had a good Winning Session. :D I ended up leaving altogether with roughly $190! Or $70 up!
Nice hit. Too bad you wasted $40 on the lottery, or else it would have been a spectacular day!
Have you ever played the Diamond Lotto machines? Aside from Kitty Glitter, those are BY FAR the funnest slot machines to play, hands down, no contest.

It's not a WASTE if you got the money back, ;) It's a break even, besides I got a bundle and advance tickets,(I have 5 nights of Fantasy 5 and I bought a Grouper(Cash for life, Fantasy 5, Lucky Money, Lotto, Pick 4) aand $4 in plus EV(Some of the scratch off tickets are worth $4)
About Diamond Lotto it really doesn't excite me too much and I usually lost or just about broke even on, or just got just a little more than my bet that game when I tried it. Yuck! Is what I feel about Diamond Lotto.
Quote: NathanGood news! I had lost a winning Lottery ticket worth $22 two days ago and found it on the STREET today! Lucky me! :D It's plain dumb luck that no one found it in those two days or that rain hadn't washed out the ticket numbers in two days. :D
I suspect this is another Jesus-like parable. Must be something significant about the 22, like how they caught exactly 153 fish in the story of the Jesus and the miraculous catch of fish.

Sometimes that train going into the tunnel is really an actual train.
Have you been studying the advantage slot & video poker plays that are being discussed on the forums? If you are going to the casinos you might as well check for advantage plays.
You might get a chance to post some photos of winning a big cashout. That would be great.
Quote: billryanSometimes that train going into the tunnel is really an actual train.
I think I have a math problem involving a train and a tunnel. What was it?
What time is lunch?
Quote: billryanA train leaves LA headed to NYC at 125 miles an hour. A second train leaves Miami for Chicago,traveling at 70 mile per hour.
What time is lunch?
That’s a trick question, it’s always lunch!
