I’d be more worried about all us lounge lizards knowing exactly
Where you are at all times than St Lucia. Let’s say photo goes all James Bond and snorkels to you and climbs aboard…

I tried not to think about that. Although
Since I will be needing a new transmission soon, I will probably have them do the seal again 🫣

I replaced the window actuator motor in the Tahoe and it wasn’t bad at all.
It was at the shop having the rear main seal replaced and the tech rolled the windows down. I guess the window motor failed at that point but instead of telling me he just used electrical tape to hold the windows up. I found out driving home when the window suddenly fell down!!!

I have popcorn circa 1985 in a rental
I sampled it prior to closing to make sure it was not ACM. One day when I have nothing better to do I will scrape it. I will always have something better to do!

This is COrrect.
Prior to air sealing my crawlspace, we never tested above 3 picocuries. After encapsulation, levels approached 8.0 pi cu. If you are going to encapsulate your crawl, it’s best practice to run corrugated perforated pipe under the vapor barrier in a loop terminating at a sump lid. Then you can easily connect pvc to an exhaust fan from the sump lid to collect the radon from under the vapor barrier and exhaust through an existing vent.

Unbelievably this is the original tranny. I’ll be getting that rebuilt
Very soon but want to get 285000 out of it without rounding. Only lower gears struggle. Once up to speed it’s fine!!!

That is how I felt after a velvet ant sting on me foot
Worst acute pain that I can recall. I guess that’s why they call these cow killas!

File it! All our Auto rates are going up either way
In this market the only way not to get an increase is shop your coverage around annually!

I’m not familiar with VA wc law and dont take legal advice from a lizard
But unless the employer is acting nefariously I wouldn’t lawyer up for them to take 20%. As long as she is receiving her benefit and the employer is planning on returning her to her original job then all is well. A good sign is if they offer her modified duty to accommodate the work restrictions as she progresses. The doctor determines the recovery period (based on the response to treatment) and when she reaches max medical improvement (MMI) - meaning that is the best she is gonna get under their treatment/PT. She then returns to work and the temp disability stops. Permanent impairment rating would come after MMI is reached. Good luck and hope it’s a quick recovery and as good as new!

What state are you in? WC law is state specific not federal
For example in NC, a doctor makes a subjective decision on permanent impairment after worker achieves maximum medical improvement. - say 5% of the injured part. The statute has a schedule of “values” for each body part which is equal to max # of weeks of compensation. So an arm = 240 weeks. 5% of 240 is 12 weeks of compensation at her comp rate (2/3 of average weekly wages) If you don’t agree with rating you can request a second opinion. Typically non-surgical injuries are not rated but that isn’t always true. Daughter just needs to plead with the treating physician that she still has pain or limited range of motion or brings up future medical treatment in case it flares up (maybe a steroid injection is needed in the future). In NC you have 2 years after the last medical/indemnity paid to reopen the claim due to change or worsening of condition.

Too many things I’ve learned here to list
In addition to all the sports scoop, I get all of my political and religious news here on TSL! Also if I get hurt and Tussin ®️ doesn’t work then I amputate.
