That means he shouldn't have been driving in the first place. My step sister had epilepsy and couldn't get her driver's license until she was off meds and sezure free for 5 years.Quote:

It doesn't really matter if it does. since Richard's roomie's homeowners insurance will. Then her insurance company will fight it out with his - at least that's the way it works here in DE.Quote:

If you get into an accident while having a medical emergency, there is a system in place where the DMV is notified thru the the law enforcement agency and the physician that treats you after the accident. I am not sure how they go about suspending or curtailing your driving privileges, but, you do have to go and have a hearing with the dept. to get that all cleared up. It is a PITA to navigate all the red tape, but it keeps the public safe and people who should not be driving, off the road.
As I said in the story?
I was pretty ticked off after the accident and glad I didn't drag the guy out of the car. When I saw he was passed out I kinda felt sorry for him. The neighbor that came into the house told me to go out and sit down, which was probably the best for everyone at that moment.
The guy did have car insurance - Allstate - so his and D's insurance company will battle it out.
(I am just glad that the guy, Mayhem, from the commercials wasn't involved, those spots make me laugh evey time I see them......)
D's ins co does cover me, but I really don't have any complaints, other than I wish it hadn't happened. I am very thankful that nothing happened to anyone and really don't want to get all tied up in the hassle of lawyers and stuff like that. I just want D's place to be fixed and life to get back to normal, if you can call my life 'normal'.
---------------------
We are currently being put up in an apartment building for the immediate future and plan on being here for 3-7 weeks.
It's a nice place and other than not being able to push the Tuckster out the door to go potty and the Edmeister not wanting to come out of my bedroom for the first few days?
Things are moving along quite nicely.
The masons were to start putting the bricks up on the front of the house today, but seeing it's such crappy weather- Tornado alerts for the area - I guess they will take the day off.
---------------
Thanks for the notes and for asking.
I'll keep you all up to date as things go down
didn't enough "go down" already? Bricks, framing, etc.?Quote:

There is something totally unfair about what people have to endure in order to live.
We are all o.k., the storms went to the north and south of our location and I am very thankful that there was nothing else to be put onto my plate.
Please think about the people who have lost loved ones or have suffered any injuries during this time....:(

My cousin's grandparents lost their home and everything in Northern KY tonight, so as I was reading this I was hoping you'd checked in tonight!
((hugs))
Yes, thanks for letting us know you are okay, Richard! We will keep all of them in our prayers.
So, glad you and yours are ok, Richard. Prayers flying for all who are needing them. :love:
The thing that scares the beejeebers out of me is that May is usually our most active tornado month. :eek::love: There were over 90 tornadoes just yesterday and that doesn't include the ones that hit KS and MO the day before. :eek::love:
It was the ghost of Kevin Harvick past.Quote:

I cannot tell you how impressed I am with the speed work and professionalism of the companies involved. It's NOT my house, but I am stunned at the pace the work that has been done and the quality.

This incident has put into perspective life and some of the things I take for granted everyday.
The newspapers have been filled with stories of the victims of the tornadoes and storms that hit the area in the last four-five days.
We have been put out of our house because of an accident that wrecked a portion of my roomies house.
I cannot imagine losing a WHOLE HOUSE to a tornado, then having a storm drop three inches of snow on top of your heartache.
I know I keep saying this over and over again.
But, I am truly the luckiest man in the world.
Keep the people of Kentucky and Indiana - and all the other places hit by these storms in your heart.
They really need the help.
Wow,
We finally got to move back into the house.
We got back here on Saturday and I have to say that it's good to be back home.
I'll keep you all posted
That is great news! Back to normal. How's Ed doing?Quote:
