At the beginning of the Tuesday morning call, the nurse asked for paramedics to come and help the 87-year-old woman who had collapsed in the home’s dining room and was barely breathing.
Halvorson pleads for the nurse to perform CPR,
so she IS breathing, let’s try cracking her 87 year old ribs with chest compressions. That’ll save her. Don’t worry about the lawsuit potential, it won’t come back on me, the 911 operator. Just cave that old chest in while she’s breathing.

March 5th, 2013 at 8:45 AM
I had never looked at the Joe Bisceglie tweet… but I checked it out to see if he was just making a bet he could look really good at if it comes true.
Verdict: he seems pretty reasonable about it and expects the skepticism. I do have a hard time seeing A-Rod dumb enough to keep using PEDs and risk contract being voided.
Seems more like “news from 2011″ for a couple of those names, but I’m not gonna call it crazy yet.

I guess, how stupid could Braun be to get away with clearly using once (he got off on a technicality… let’s not pretend he was likely clean) and make MLB look stupid, but keep using and think they won’t be out to get him.
On the other hand, most baseball players = pretty fucking stupid

That last set doesn’t compare with L&M, though. It was ridiculously difficult to concentrate with them just around me. But they wearing those damned cheerleading outfits, too.

not to sound like a dick but…
a) CPR would probably break some of her ribs
b) an 87 year old in an assisted living center probably doesn’t have much more to go

March 5th, 2013 at 8:59 AM
I imagine most 87 year olds in assisted living centers would have a DNR, right?
March 5th, 2013 at 9:00 AM
It was all about policy spence
March 5th, 2013 at 9:00 AM
WWos, those are my homies. There you have it.

I kicked a hole in wallboard when i was younger. My dad was so pissed.
March 5th, 2013 at 9:01 AM
Thank god I was able to refinance without an appraisal. Otherwise I would have been screwed. I imagine my house is worth 20% less than what I paid for it.
March 5th, 2013 at 9:02 AM
b) an 87 year old in an assisted living center probably doesn’t have much more to go
according to that story, she was in the “independent” living facility, not the assisted one, or the nursing home. That means she’s a spry old woman living in a retirement home, who dropped mostly dead, and eventually died. It’s hard to imagine smashing her chest down 20 times in one minute to kickstart her currently beating heart would have made a positive impact, though.
March 5th, 2013 at 9:02 AM
Thanks srod
March 5th, 2013 at 9:03 AM
That facility inbakersfield doesnt allow its staff to perform cpr. All they are allowed to do is call 911 and wait for paramedics.
March 5th, 2013 at 9:03 AM
Appraisers are absolutely useless, but so stupid they’re smart. Where else can you get paid $400 to show up at a house for 5 to 10 minutes, take a couple notes, and then prepare a cut/pasted report with tons of errors and make up a random number as to the value of the home that you in no way ever have to defend/revise.
The appraisal for our new home had so many mistakes/errors that I convinced the bank to refund my money. My favorite was that the house (which was built in 2006) had a kitchen “that had been remodeled about 10 years ago”.
March 5th, 2013 at 9:03 AM
I imagine most 87 year olds in assisted living centers would have a DNR, right?
sadly, no. Not even all people in nursing homes have DNRs. But those that don’t get their families hounded by social workers, so that people are allowed to die in peace (or pieces, if they explode)
March 5th, 2013 at 9:04 AM

March 5th, 2013 at 9:05 AM
Appraiser coming today for refi.
when he asks if you’ve done any work on the house, the answer is yes. And then say everything you can think of that you did.
If you say, not really, he doesn’t know to increase the value. And say what you’re hoping to get it appraised for, and then suck his dick.
March 5th, 2013 at 9:05 AM
Didn’t know that could happen career high.
Dirt i think we all get that cpr might not have helped but the controversy is/will be about the policy to not help

Also, remember Lidsay P of the Ravens from a few months ago that JMac linked? She may be the most beautiful woman who ever lived.
March 5th, 2013 at 9:06 AM
Roeth… I thought about it but couldn’t find enough errors, and the banker wouldn’t go for it. Gotta use a diff lender or just stick with it.
Value actually went up in the last 15 months, 2.5%, but we were expecting more, and had some informal appraisals that suggested the work we did should be worth about 5%.
March 5th, 2013 at 9:06 AM
im well aware, but thanks.

Probably won’t spend more than 10 minutes at your house. Their jobs are made impossible by tons of new regs, but fuck appraisers
March 5th, 2013 at 9:10 AM
the controversy is/will be about the policy to not help
so you think if the lady had cut herself very badly, the woman wouldn’t have applied direct pressure? I think the policy just has to do with “heroic” measures to save these oldies, and the lawsuits that can/do arise from people who get their ribs broken by good samaritans with no legal obligation to maul them.

March 5th, 2013 at 9:12 AM
I showed him every little fucking thing we did. In the end, none of it mattered, because he compared it to a completely diff type of lot/house. And the way they calculate it from the comps screws you over if you have a bigger lot than the comp, because it gives you no value for it.

One of my tennis teammates became an appraiser. (he ain’t too bright) It seems like he had to go through a very long schooling/apprenticeship to be fully licensed. It really doesn’t seem all that complicated.

March 5th, 2013 at 9:20 AM
just finalized a refi through a HARP program. We lost about 15% of the value from when we bought in 2008. It was a nightmarish process to say the least. Just delay after delay after delay from the lender. I finally shot off a nasty email to the CEO after yet another delay, and lo and behold the next day they got their asses in gear and finalized everything within a week. I’d like to think the email had something to do with it.
March 5th, 2013 at 9:20 AM
A nurse at a facility is an employee there to ensure the health and safety of the residents… not a Samaritan.
A doctor at a hospital doesn’t fall under good sam laws, and I imagine even if one is ‘off duty’, the standard is higher on what you’d be expected to do without causing harm.
March 5th, 2013 at 9:20 AM
I imagine most 87 year olds in assisted living centers would have a DNR, right?
Nope. People are ignorant about DNRs, DPOAs, and Healthcare directives.
Also, the daughter basically told everyone to get off the independent care facility’s case. She says they know what they signed when her mom moved in. Holy shit. Someone not blaming everyone else. It is almost like she isn’t American.

Well we are in the city. Which is awesome because we get to pay metro taxes (sarcasm). There aren’t many good comps, I get that, but he used the worst ones available, because it had the lowest % adjustments, but our lot is literally 4 times the size of theirs, with a very small adjustment.

“oh your credit card covers you? have you ever tried to make a claim with the credit card, you have to pay out of pocket…”
They are terrible. Assuming they must get a kickback for selling it.
For me: the harder a salesman tries, the more I’m walking away. If you are that eager to sell it, it’s obviously a great deal for you. I need a new HVAC… mentioned it to my wife in earshot of the dude at Home Depot. He came up to me no less than THREE times the rest of the time I was there to try to get me to let his guy come to my house.

But the 911 operator was asking the nurse to get someone off the street and she still wouldn’t
no, she was asking her to get someone who wasn’t in the employ of that independent living home who happened to be walking by on the street, which meant a wild goose chase.
You’re making one assumption (that there were good samaritans being beaten off with a stick) while I’m making another (that this nurse, bound by policy, felt her best move was to comfort a still breathing woman and wait for qualified help which she called).
But it’s not like they were on LaBrea Blvd, and this is a spry young lady whose heart just stopped. This is an old ass woman in a home who keeled over and began to die, fucking finally.
March 5th, 2013 at 9:28 AM

There is no reason why she should. They signed a contract with the place that said CPR would not be performed by staff. They know what they signed up for. She publicly stated that she does not hold the place responsible. It is over. Outrage should be directed elsewhere.

Don’t care what some of y’all say, I think she’s pretty. Don’t watch a lot of her work, but the times I did she seemed to have a cool sense of humor.
seeing her beat box sealed the deal for me. love hot chicks with personality. also met her at a sox/yanks game walking around underneath fenway and she was sooo much hotter in person. taller/skinnier than i expected

Closed mine in early January. Took a lot of work and delays were huge but well worth the time. Saving around $650 per month.
My refinance is saving about the same. What I also didn’t realize when doing it was that we were going to get a month off paying our mortgage and got refunded almost $3,000 from our escrow account. I was pleasantly surprised to all of a sudden have an extra $5,000.

Joe Flacco has the richest contract in NFL history just like Michael Vick got a hundred million dollar deal from the Eagles.
Also Sanchez was once the highest paid QB in the league so Flacco now being it isn’t even close to absurd.
March 5th, 2013 at 9:35 AM
You’re making one assumption (that there were good samaritans being beaten off with a stick) while I’m making another (that this nurse, bound by policy, felt her best move was to comfort a still breathing woman and wait for qualified help which she called).
But it’s not like they were on LaBrea Blvd, and this is a spry young lady whose heart just stopped. This is an old ass woman in a home who keeled over and began to die, fucking finally.
i don’t think i took a side. i saw the report and read the call transcript, at the gym, so no sound. i agree that the employee did the right thing, per policy, and also know that many news orgs will latch onto this for the moral outrage opportunities. i am glad the daughter is not blaming anyone, and enjoy more that her stance is being ignored for a better narrative and to encourage those who want us to know how outraged they are. this is a twitter paradise
March 5th, 2013 at 9:35 AM
How do you guys save so much on the re-fi? Were your interest rates that shitty? Are you extending the term a lot? Does whatever HARP is kick something in? We barely saved much at all, except getting rid of PMI
March 5th, 2013 at 9:35 AM
I’ve replaced my furnace and AC in the past 2 years. Got a quote from Home Depot for the AC, they were twice as expensive for the exact same unit that I ended up getting installed by my local technician. I laughed at the estimator when he gave me the price.

Mike Vick also got 100 million from the falcons, in imaginary contracts.
I think both Peyton and Brady have collected 100 million from one team, but not all in one contract, even though Peyton signed one 100 million dollar contract, or thereabouts.
March 5th, 2013 at 9:38 AM
I went from 5.5% to 3.25%.
March 5th, 2013 at 9:38 AM
Yeah Home Depot sucks for that stuff. I got a local guy, but now with the shitty appraisal, can’t afford to replace it anyway. Looks like a hot summer for me.

funny. the other day i saw that there’s school board elections round here and wondered if i’d ever be interested in that. then i noticed that you have to show up to events and answer questions, so i’d have to know things. so i started imagining no prep and just trying to get by answering every question ‘because obama!’

March 5th, 2013 at 9:39 AM
Mine went down about $400 monthly on a shorter term.
Our rate wasn’t bad when we got it, but we bought in 2008, and refi’d at almost 3% lower. When we bought originally my credit was still shitty, so we put the house int he wife’s name only. With the refi it’s in both names, so now I have a mortgage on my credit.
March 5th, 2013 at 9:39 AM

March 5th, 2013 at 9:40 AM
How do you guys save so much on the re-fi? Were your interest rates that shitty? Are you extending the term a lot?
I knocked about 400 bucks off with the one i did last year. The one I had done two years prior raised the payment by more than 400, but shortened the term by 10 years.
I don’t know what interest rates these guys are currently getting, but they were selling them in the 2′s last year. Which means you’re paying way, way less interest than in the 4′s.

You can’t get 3.25 around here. Best you can do through a bank is 3.75 about, and 3.625 through some independent lenders if you want to deal with it being sold etc.

March 5th, 2013 at 9:41 AM
I knew we were getting a month off, but because of when we closed, we actually ended up getting 2 months off (refi closed last week, 1st payment due May 1.) I didn’t think about the escrow balance getting refunded, that would be a nice bonus.

I went from 5.5% to 3.25%.
6.5 to 3.75. also was great to see both our credit scores are really high. wife gave me props bc i handle all the bills
our value went down about 60k from 2006, but we had/have enough equity that we’ve been nowhere near underwater. things were overvalued back then. it’s more of a psych gutpunch than anything, seeing a 270 purchase valued at 220

I showed him every little fucking thing we did. In the end, none of it mattered, because he compared it to a completely diff type of lot/house.

March 5th, 2013 at 9:43 AM
Yeah – I know that’s 4 – the 4th one really doesn’t matter if you follow the first 3.
March 5th, 2013 at 9:44 AM
PMI is awful. And you are stuck with it for 5 or 7 years. We didn’t have enough for a big down payment, but worked our asses off on the house to build equity to re-fi out of PMI. But still got screwed by the appraisal, and need to come up with a lot of cash to close.

Add square footage, or go fuck yourself.

We just got Paolo’d (given a high hard one) by our appraiser too. Identical house down the street sold last summer…ours is nicer in every aspect except the kitchen.

My rate dropped about 3% with the HARP refi. I also got a credit to apply to closing costs and put some more money into it, so our principal on new loan was about 10K less than old loan. I hope I can make payments on this new loan for maybe 5-10 years. By then daycare expenses will have ended and I hope to get into a 15 year.

we plan on staying in our house for another 5-7 years and then looking to upgrade. We’ve done a lot of work to it, new roof, new siding/gutters, upgraded the tile int he kitchen, new AC/Furnace. We’re doing the carpet and windows this fall. If we get lucky with our last round of IVF we might look to get out sooner, but we’re backwards in value for a solid 5 years so that might be tough.

If you think Enterprise is the only one who will try that you’re crazy. No matter who you rent from, do a thorough walk-around with the agent, and don’t sign until you’re satisfied that all damage has been documented on the contract.

yeah, I responded yesterday but it was too late. same shit as always, seriously this is the 3rd or 4th year in a row where the pitching is great but they can’t hit at all. I’m glad they are playing a solid OOC schedule, as opposed to someone like Miss. St., but damn. now they have San Diego St. coming in this weekend, and with Gwynn as the manager I am assuming they can hit as well. I went to a lunch a week before the season started and Van Horn really talked up the bats and how they were much improved.

Soembody once left an original birth certificate in one.

Vandy is in the East, but either way, they are solid. I think the Hogs will be ok once conference starts, they usually do this every year.

was just readig the passages in Men At Work about why MLB doesnt just fund wood bats for college. that was 1990 and revenue was a bit smaller then. problem now might be not enough good wood to provide all ncaa teams, and if you limit to D1, then the stated purpose–for scouting–is diminished. espeiclaly when many HS kids get drafted. they gonna fund HS too?
March 5th, 2013 at 10:26 AM
I found at various times: handguns, knives, porn, money, weed, coke, cds, sunglasses, clothes, jewelry, cell phones, you name it, it’s been left.
One time I was cleaning a car to rent to someone else, and in the trunk, among fast food bags with trash in them was a black garbage bag that was tied shut. I assumed it was trash, and never opened it, just threw it out. The guy who left it came in a few days later wanting to know what we did with his garbage bag of work uniforms. He was astonished that I didn’t open a black garbage bag that was tied shut to make sure it was trash. “What if it was money” was what he kept asking me. At that point, I told him I wasn’t willing to look through the trash to see if it was money or anything else. He ended up calling the regional manager who refunded him for the inconvenience.
Moral of the story, if you ever rent a car, complain about everything. If the rental agent won’t give you a discount, ask to speak to their manager. If you get to the regional manager you are almost guaranteed to get your money back. My regional managers all said the same thing: If it gets to me without being resolved, you’re going to eat the cost.

FUCK YOU RENTAL CAR AGENCIES
This.
Now it’s the “loss of use” threat if you turn down their insurance. And you need a receipt for gas that proves you refilled within 10 miles of the airport if you don’t by their full tank service. Here for spring training in Phoenix and there’s like three gas stations within 10 miles of PHX and their auto rental center, which has the slowest shuttle service and rudest shuttle drivers anywhere. Leave at least 45 min. to return your car and get back to the terminal.
