Hard To Believe

Last year (ha ha) my cousin came to visit and she was limping really bad. My grandmother had already told me what happened to her, but my grandmother is an old woman who happens to be really bad at passing on information, so I rarely take her word for anything. Anyway, I asked my cousin what happened to her and she replied “I got hit by a van.” I initially didn’t believe that when my grandmother told me because it just doesn’t sound right to me, for reasons you guys wouldn’t understand!

Needless to say, my cousin has mentioned seeing a lawyer who wants her to get into therapy. I’m honestly a little skeptical. Mostly because me cousin’s limp seems to come and go. LOL. I really hope she’s not lying about being hit or lying about the injuries she’s sustained. If she is being sincere though, I hope she can get great help. This is kind of random, but I was looking at this website about Raleigh lawyers and it reminded me of this story. I wish you guys a belated happy new year! Don’t forget, look both ways when crossing the street!!

A Time To Steal

I can’t believe I got through the holiday season without hearing about anyone losing any money. Usually around this time of the year I hears dozens of stories about people getting scammed, robbed or ripped of while shopping during Black Friday or doing other Christmas-related shopping. I’m sure there were tons of people who did get ripped off though. It’s really sad that people take advantage of people so much during the holidays. I constantly hear about people getting their bags ripped off while walking the malls or getting their purses and wallets stolen.

I guess if it wasn’t for the invention of rfid blocking wallets, more people would probably get their identity stolen at the mall too. If I had credit cards I would definitely walk around with one of those wallets because you can never be too sure. There is always someone trying to get rich at another person’s expense.

She’s Not Invincible

My grandmother is almost 70 years old and is the picture of health. In fact, I think she may be healthier than all of her grandchildren. I’m not sure what it is, but she is just blessed with great health. Earlier this month she started getting really bad headaches and also painful back and neck pain. It was so strange to see her sleeping a lot and not really being herself. She went to the hospital and they gave her some pain killers and told her to go see the doctor. (A lot of help, huh?)

Anyway,  she went to the doctor and they diagnosed her with a pinched nerve. After a few days of relaxation and taking the pills the doctor gave her she felt much better. I’m glad she only had a pinched nerve and not stenosis of the spine. She would have had to go through a lot more than what she went through. And trust me, for someone who never gets sick, that’s a lot of pain.

Mom Got

Thanks for the post, Vernon Lowe

Mom got expertsatellite at her house so I think we’ll be spending new year’s there. My dad’s all about watching whatever bowl game is on and there are always tons right around then so I don’t want to disappoint him like I did last year and have everyone over only to find out we didn’t get the channels he needed. He spent all of new year’s day in a sports bar if you can believe it! So anyway, mom’s hosting and it should be a heck of a party like it always is at her house. It’s a smallish place so everything’s always really crowded and she makes so much food it’s disgusting to tell you the truth. But if there’s one thing that woman can do it’s cook so we all just let her go at it when she’s in the mood and we eat what we can – there are usually leftovers for days to come after an event at moms. I know she gets a kick out of it though so who am I to say no?
