I knew it was bound to happen one day. I was talking with my younger daughter about driving when I was high school compared to the cost in the here and now, and I got to use the phrase when I was your age, about gas only being 89 cents a gallon when I got my driver's license. Not only have gas prices and the frequency with which I say when I was your age shot up over the years, but so has the price of dependable pre-owned cars, trucks, and vans. 

If you are starting your search for a pre-owned vehicle in the Tampa area, save yourself a lot of time by starting at Auto Market of Florida. Selection? They've got it, whether it's foreign or domestic, family sedan, sport utility vehicle or sports car. Chevy, Chrysler, Dodge, and the way through Mercedes Benz, Audi, and BMW. 

The friendly and knowledgeable experts at Auto Market of Florida have been helping people get into nicer, newer vehicles for over twenty years, which is important when you consider how many fly-by-nighters come and go each and every year. Twenty years of being able to turn the 'Open' sign shows a business is there for the long haul. 

They say everything is big in Texas. I don't know whether or not that's true, but one thing is alive and well, and that's the American Dream. People still want to have the opportunity to get ahead, and the ability for people to invest money and make a profit is a key component of that dream.

But what happens when you try to invest in a business, and instead of profits, they give you the works? Even if you did all the research, that is not goingto help you if the investment is a sham. As if getting ripped off wasn't bad enough, what if the scam costs you more down the road? I know I'd rather break even than add stress and aggravation to the mix.

If you think you have been steered wrong by an investment broker, advisor, or counselor, don't sit around and stew about it. Get some help. There are legal remedies you can take, but dealing with the investments were confusing enough, and now you are on the short end of the stick. When circumstances call for an investment scam attorney, Houston turns to David A. Himes & Associates.

For example, it may be in your best interest to file a claim with the appropriate regulatory authority.

I was kind of surprised to have three separate stories coming from our nation's school system this week, but then again, since I'm pretty much ignoring politics on the air until we actually start getting some politics instead of the hot mess that's been playing out on our TV screens the past few weeks, I guess I had to find some stupidity somewhere.

Even more troubling is the fact the three stories, from three different states, on three different matters, actually kind of tie together when you think about it. You have a school in New York scared three kinds of shitless that somebody is going to get hurt on the playground during recess, so they took the step of banning stuff like footballs, soccer balls, and whatever else they think could hurt someone.

Then you have a school in Florida sending one of those odious "fat kid" letters to a kid's home, despite the fact the kid plays on two different volleyball teams. Oh yeah, and the kid's freaking eleven. What a fantastic message to send to an eleven year old girl: no matter how many sports you play, you're still chubby to us, because of some vaguely scientific number.

To top it off, the governing body of high school sports in Kentucky recently asked schools to maybe put an end to the organized handshakes at the end of games. This is quite possibly the stupidest fucking thing I have heard all year. It is crap like this that makes me glad I was brought up before all this touchy-feely, everyone wins a damn trophy nonsense.

Add all these together, and what do you get? Contradictions galore, but no one willing to point the crap out. You can go to recess, but what are you supposed to do at recess, talk about whatever teen-centric disaster from the CW was on the night before? Fine, you can't do crap at recess, so you play a sport. Unless you're a all-state lineman for the football team, odds are you are going to be considered overweight, so even though you are in all likelihood one of the more active kids in your entire school, you're still a "fat kid." To top it off, you can't even say "good game" anymore?

Fine, you say, to hell with the "school" model of fitness, which is either winning championships or employing heavy use of bubble tape to keep our fat little children (real and otherwise) safe from harm, so you just decide to play at your house. Good luck with that, as the two kids in Virginia Beach can attest to, as they are facing expulsion for playing with airsoft pistols *GASP!* near a school bus stop. In one of the kids' front yard. As in not on school property. 


And yet, there are people who still act surprised when kids just want to play video games, or go sneak some beers and/or a joint and fuck around. To those obviously slower than the average bears, I would ask- what the hell option did you leave them? 

You might find yourself thinking from time to time that accidents are something that can not be avoided. Fair enough, there are some accidents that are bound and determined to happen, just happens to be the course of fate. What happens, however, when the accident could have been avoided? What recourse do you have if the accident was created in part by the carelessness or negligence of someone else?

Now, ninety-nine times out of hundred, people do not like "getting the business," but just picking a lawyer out of the phone book is now way to go about protecting your rights or interests. That is why in Chicagoland, those in the know go straight to the personal injury lawyers of Budin Law Offices.

It is one of those things that people do not like to think about, but at any given moment in any given workday, it can linger in the back of your mind- what if I get hurt on the job?

There will be the usual things- worrying about your family, and how things could be turned upside down as you recover. Will your family be able to cover the bills? How much could this injury affect their lives in addition to yours? Will you be able to return to work? Most importantly, will you ever be the same again?

It is a lot to think about in a short amount of time, but one thing you shouldn't have to worry about is whether or not you have the right law firm on your side, should it come down to that. That's when you pick up the phone and call the workers compensation attorneys of the Law Office of Steven J. Borel.

In Olathe, Kansas, the Law Office of Steven J. Borel has developed a reputation for solid, knowledgeable, and successful representation of workers' comp cases. When a business can simply say their results speak for themselves, you know better, unless that business can back up what they are saying. That (and over 35 years of legal experience in the office) is the difference between hype and success.

Ain't love grand? Yes it is, until it is not. Yes, it is an unfortunate fact that pretty much half of all marriages end in divorce, and sometimes it can seem like the only thing keeping you from winding up in that position, unfortunate or otherwise, are those very same coin flip odds.
