Been there, done that
A Spanish woman who had been claiming disability pension for an inability to speak following a work-related incident 16 years ago has been exposed as a fraud by a private detective. In 2003, a woman working at a supermarket in Andalucia, Spain, was attacked by a customer. Following the traumatic incident, she was diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder and the loss of her ability to speak. After reviewing her case, Social Security granted the woman a permanent disability pension, but because this was a work-related incident, the insurance company was deemed responsible for the costs. Years later, as per regular procedure, the insurance company reviewed her case and found some irregularities, which prompted further investigation. A few years ago, it hired a private detective who discovered that the woman spoke normally but continued to cash her disability payments. *** To prove without a shadow of a doubt that the woman could speak, the private detective approached her on the street one day and asked her for directions on how to reach a local department store. She fell right into his trap, eloquently explaining in perfectly articulated Spanish how to reach the store, not knowing that she was being recorded. With this final piece of evidence, the insurance company took legal action to prove that it was no longer responsible for providing disability benefits.Check out the whole article
A woman has spoken to the media for the first time after becoming a mother to the UK’s first child born from a transplanted womb. Grace Davidson was able to have that opportunity thanks to her sister, who donated her womb in what Davidson called “a huge act of sisterly love.” Born in February, little Amy Isabel was named after her aunt who donated the womb she was conceived in, and given a middle name of the leader of the team that led her surgery. *** Davidson and her husband Angus had originally planned to seek a womb transplant in 2018, but the original donor proved unsuitable. The pair had received confirmation from Davidson’s sister Amy that she would be willing to donate her womb, which she used to have two children, but the pandemic delayed things further. In February of 2023, Isabel Quiroga at Churchill Hospital in Oxford led a team of 30 in performing the procedure, after which Davidson became pregnant at the first attempt of IVF. “I’m not often short of words but when the baby came out I was speechless—there were a lot of tears in the theater that day,” said Richard Smith, a gynecological surgeon at Imperial College Healthcare who led the team which retrieved the womb from Amy. “The whole thing is astonishing and incredibly moving.”More details and a video at the link

Fold our hands round her knees, and cling?
O that man's heart were as fire and could spring to her,
Fire, or the strength of the streams that spring!
For the stars and the winds are unto her
As raiment, as songs of the harp-player;
For the risen stars and the fallen cling to her,
And the southwest-wind and the west-wind sing.

Even later, he went all Renaissance Festival Nerd, and formed Blackmore's Night, with his eventual wife Candice Night.

The Track and Football stadium had 30 ft tall bleachers... a few yards from an ivy covered 10 ft fence... and on the other side of the fence a major road... where the drivers could not see the mats.
We'd take the mats, put them under the bleachers... and jump into them... Po Po got called early on when we got the bright idea to have my friend act like we were fighting and he threw me off the top of the bleachers. Luckily... Local cops alread knew us and had a sense of humor.

I'm thinking that rather than have someone collect funds and forward them, it might be simpler to make individual donations directly to Shep's with a note that we wish to claim a room for Jewell's when the goal is reached. I will make my donation tomorrow and attach a note to that effect.

I never got into Richie Blackmore when he was in Deep Purple or the other group. I tripped over him as part of Blackmore's Night. I was visiting a friend's needlework store, and she had a CD playing. I didn't pay attention until a song popped up that I recognized as a pavanne from my medieval recreation days. I was instantly hooked.

You get less of what you tax. Tax wages and you get less work.
So, yes, if you taxed being poor we would have fewer poor people though obviously there would be problems with that too

Lastly, would the Horde family please add T-Rex's Mom, MommaRex, to their prayers? She was rushed to the hospital this weekend, and today diagnosed with Parkinsons. We are asking for prayers for God's strength in dealing with the disease and a very challenging family situation. Thank you.

Engaged in '93. She was 22, he was 48.
Formed Blackmore's Night in '97.

Kids in '10 and '12, at ages 39/41 & 65/67.
Still together at 53 (54 on May 8th), and 80 (today, as we heard up in the Content.)

It was the nature (Slip Thrust) vs A left-lateral strike-slip fault. and the fault line it occurred on. No, Really, they have assigned EQ's and their movement based on the fault line they occur on.
This EQ occurred on the Elsinore fault line which the boys and girls at up at Menlo Park have been on a serious watch along with the southern end of the San Andreas (near the Salton Sea) which they believe will produce the next "BIG ONE" All three of my cell phones alerted this time around which gave me pause and a bracing of fingers on my desk to say the least with some rapid breathing.

I actually had a "nice" night. My friend across the street has a brother who had a kidney removed in Romania....big tumour. They are very close. I need to be a good friend.
I invited him over and we spent 1.5 hours together. We're both going through our own personal hells, but he was really happy I was here for him. When you're 29 and somehow manage to make a friend when you were never good at that in the first place....l

9mm is 24 cents a round. I can now afford to shoot the perp enough times to offset the lack of punch a 45 or a crossbow would offer.
Seriously cheap ammo. If I dollar cost average and count on my toes I can probably rationalize a couple thousand more rounds

Annie doesn't live here anymore
You must be the one she waited for
She said I would know you by the blue in your eye
Checkered suit, a fancy vest, and polka-dot tie
You answer to that description, so I guess that you're the guy
Well, Annie doesn't live here anymore (Annie, where's Annie?)
Annie doesn't live here anymore (Where's Annie?)
It's too bad you didn't call before (Where's Annie?)
t was spring
There was romance in the air
And everything seemed for loving hearts to share
And there was she, just as lonely and as blue
As she could be
That's the reason
Annie doesn't live here anymore

The tax on SS is a function of total income. I don't remember the details, but one year I got hit pretty badly, so the next year, I had SS deduct more withholding
I've always known about capital gains and dividend taxes, because, except for the years I owned a small business and had to deal with depreciation, I did my own taxes. It's pretty clear on the forms.
The next year, the market was down and my income dropped about 15%. The SS tax went way down, and I got about $5k refund.

Guitar question for you. Are old resonator guitars from the 1930's worth anything. Saw one in a local antique mall with a 600 buck price tag on it. Kind of doubt it is worth that...

Yeah jewels was really fun. I remember in texas she was staying at my hotel. I was downstairs at breakfast and she came strolling in with a bottle of booze in a paper bag, which she was bringing to the ranch. I looked at her and said so.... we drinking our breakfast today? lol. It was so easy to make her laugh. I'll really miss her.
As far as the resonator guitars go, yeah it all depends on who made it. I know absolutely squat about anything played on one, but like anything else with strings, the age, the maker, the rarity, etc, all dictate the price. 1930's is pretty damn vintage, and if it was in good playable shape by a good maker then $600 might not be that crazy.

Well, I figure if it is at an antique mall, the seller has done his/her homework, and priced it at the upper end of the range that such a model would fetch in whatever condition it's in.
So really doubt I could buy it for 500 bucks, and flip it for 2 g's.

That was Vinnie "The Chin" Gigante. That ruse worked - also I think they tried to convict him of a murder years and years prior but he got off at trial. I wonder if that factored into the decision to not pursue him after he was declared "non compos mentis" at his subsequent trial (for bribery I think?) for a long time. I mean, they must have known that he was faking his "insanity." It was only years later they built an "airtight case" and he was finally convicted of racketeering.

Believe me, Blonde M - it was even more awesome than it sounds. Picture a bunch of suited up young lawyers and two senior partners, in a big Manhattan board room in the late 90s, huddled around a roll-in TV, with the PI on the phone. We were cheering when the plaintiff was walking around washing his car. "Wait for it . . wait . . . for . . it . . ." the PI kept saying. When the plaintiff got in and started driving? The place erupted - one of the attorneys on the file went running through the office, yelling, ripping off his tie and button down shirt. All the attorneys and secretaries came running in, they thought it was some kind of emergency. We all went out to the local bar and got absolutely plastered. Yep - that day is etched into my mind - the trial was more understated. We removed the jury for a break and watched the video in chambers. The plaintiff's attorney turned ash-white and the plaintiff just took off his glasses, folded up his cane and tried to leave. The judge directed the bailiffs to detain him.

That's the part, omg lol. I was once talking to someone about handicap parking spaces, invisible disabilities and whatnot, and casually said "They're for blind drivers, too" and the guy said "Oh, really?" and I said NO, sillyhead, the blind don't drive, and we both cracked up.
And then the judge ordering the guy arrested on the spot! WOW, I bet the guy thought he was just going to leave in a very embarrassed state, never imagined he'd get cuffed!

No - but he submitted a bill that was paid immediately and got a lot more business from insurers after that!
The judge detained the plaintiff while he called the DA's office, who advised the judge to contact the police to affect the arrest upon the ADA's direction. The judge and bailiffs took him into the chambers on plaintiff's lawyer's request to wait and we never saw him after that. We later learned that he was arrested, arraigned and copped a plea. I don't recall if anything happened to the attorney, I think he claimed to be unaware.

When I worked in Siemens' tax dept in Manhattan (43rd fl), on another couple of floors was a law firm (whose name I forget). On one floor they had a cafeteria. We Siemens employees could use their cafeteria; it was good food and cheap. So anyway, my ex started noticing I was wearing only solid white or blue shirts to work when I had a closet full of color. So one day she meets me for lunch and we go to that cafeteria. We get our food and sit down and she looks around at all the male attorneys and all she sees are solid white and blue shirts. She looks at me and says now I know why. I replied, 'camouflage'.

I started using that years ago, I mean back in the '90s as a online handle, base on authors of the Federalist Papers using it an anonymous nome de plume.
It was a common Roman "praenomen" I think they called it back in the day. It derives from "of the people".
