Okay so my sister’s boyfriend got pulled over and he was drunk. He got arrested for DWI. My sister had to go get him but she didn’t want to give me any details on what happened. This man is a complete loser! He went to court for this a few days ago. My main question merely is did my sister have to pay something to get him out of jail and if so how much is estimated? By the way this is in Minnesota. Thanks to all.

What is a good companion for a field sparrow?




A few days ago I found a one winged field sparrow at work. When I got home I examined it more closely and found that it was defiantly an injury and not a birth defect. I treated the wound and am giving it vitamins. It is healing very nicely, eating and drinking, and very active. Sadly I know it cannot be released since a predator would get it.

It seems content but I would like to find a companion for it. Since I can’t seem to find Sparrows in pet stores or online to buy I would like to know if there is another species of bird that would be compatible. I also am not sure how to tell what sex it is.

Thanks,

Mandy

P.S. I am currently keeping it in a bird cage and would like to know what kind of toys would be good for it.

Girlfriend was in a Car accident, Lawyer question?




My gf was in a car accident few days ago .
The car bumper was hit by a guy who was driving without a license.
It wasn’t too bad. But the bumper must be replaced and the insurance company should pay for the medical bills .

My question is this. I have "never" been in such a situation before , there fore I have some questions… because she doesn’t seem to know what to do either . She made some mistakes. She already contacted a lawyer , which she thought was the right move.
But i don’t think it was needed because this just happened a few days ago ,Aren’t lawyers needed when things get out of hand or when - they refuse to pay?

In regards to payment.
2 questions -
1) How should I approach the other company (All State ) in regards to payment.
The car was insured under some other person. Isn’t the guy who drove the car while the accident occured still responsible to pay her? ( i am worried , if allstate is making her run around and finally say - oh, we are not responsible !, the guy who drove doesn’t have all states, SORRY! )Another thing - They were forcing her to go to their own shop to get an estimate for bumper repair, does she "have to"? She wants "honda" to fix it and therefore go there to get an estimate, which i think she did. How much of this does she have to comply with AllState.?

2)
In regards to medical bill , how does this work ? Isn’t the doctors bills, any medication , and physical therapy all covered by the other person? If so what if it’s an ongoing procedure like, a physical therapy session for 8 months . What is the procedure for this ? Should she just fax all the bills to All State or wait till everything’s over and then fax everything- Estimate ( for bumper) and Doctors bill to them?

p.s: The lawyer told her to go to that doctor, I know how cunning these lawyers are . I want this to be done without any lawyer present as smooth as it’s possible. I am just worried if she’s going to get into any kind of trap. Please help.

I have recently started drinking alot more water after a long period of not having drank as much as I should have. I go through this evey few months or so. After a few days of drinking water, I begin to feel pain in my right side, underneath my ribcage, more towards the back. I don’t know if it’s one of my kidneys or my liver or what. The pain can be pretty strong; it usually happens after I’ve consumed quite a bit of water (nothing too extreme, though), and sometimes lasts the better part of a day. Is it just one of my organs detoxing?

Do I have to be at the pretrial conference?




I got a DWI a few days ago and I had my first appearance in court today. The judge told me my lawyer would have to send them a letter of representation by next week and would have to be there for a pretrial conference on the 29th. I’m not sure if I have to be there as well. I know my lawyer does.

I recently had a car accident (no one was injured, thank GOD!) I made a terrible choice after an end-of-year school celebration. I know this was a terrible choice because I am falling apart emotionally. Please, don’t grill me about it. I need to know if there is any way to postpone a court date for someone facing a DWI charge (first one). I’m preparing myself to live with the consequences… I planned to spend three weeks abroad on vacation. I’ve never been abroad before, never really been anywhere. I had been planning this for months, and now this mess. The court date falls a few days after I am supposed to leave. If court dates can’t be postponed, do I have to be physically present in court, or can my lawyer represent me without my being there? I live in NJ. thanks. i could use a few prayers, too.

about 2.5 years ago i began experiencing leg pain and was diagnosed with 2 herniated discs. i was put on lite duty for 18 mos (i wait tables, had to hostess)
after countless docs pills chiros and breakdowns, i felt better about a year ago and retrned to waiting tables. my mri showed that the hernaition had beome a sligt bulge.

i was movin a few wks ago and felt like i may have reinjured the disc, had some low back pain and a little leg pain.
over the past few days the pain has become almost intolerable. im miserable at work, when standing, sittin… its keeping me up at nite

the pain i have now is worse than its ever been and its constant no matter what i do. i recently started a new job and dont have health ins. and even if i did, i know theyd tell me to get off my feet for atleast a few weeks and thats just not an option

i have a few back strengtening exercises i do, but what else can i do for myself?

I injured my lower disc in my back and over the years it went from a bulging disc to a herniated disc. Since the day I felt that pop I seem to have chronic nerve pain that goes from the lower back down my leg and in to my foot. it seems to hurt constantly and if I have to do anything besides laying in bed it is much worse to the point that after a few days of work I am bed ridden again. I’ve been to the doctors, surgeons, neurologists and the only thing they offer is pain meds which give me some relief but not enough to have a normal, mildly even, active day. I also found using the Dr Ho Tens machine gives me some relief but not enough to function. Does anyone have any suggestions and has anyone had botox injections for such pain?
Botox was suggested by a specialist to block nerve pain somehow. it isn’t covered by OHIP and I’m reluctant to pay for something I’m unsure of. I have been to surgeons and been denied so I have to find an alternative way to deal with this pain. I currently take strong pain meds which give some relief but still have a great deal of pain at all times and especially when standing and even sitting. I also will wake through he night constantly and have to change positions and prop pillows. thanks for suggestions.

I have complained about debris on the steps on 1 or 2 occasions even sweep in front of my own door.
The inside of the building as well as outside the building is nasty. Even in the winter the steps arent freed of snow until next day after asking since my daughter fell down the steps on the snow too.

I am a new teneant there and didnt really want to be known as the complainer so after a few times asking I just left it alone.

Do I really need to hire a lawyer?

What are the penalty fees, and how are they calculated?
License suspension? How long?
What if the person caught was turning 21 in just a few days?
What are the procedures involved?

Thanks.

What to say for a DWI in new jersey?




I got a DWI a few days ago in new jersey. I have to be in court for tomorrow. My boss is helping me get his lawyer to take my case. I was told that tomorrow is basically the arraignment and the actual case will be at a later date. I was told not to plead guilty to anything and tell the judge "My lawyer would like to enter the plea on my behalf." Does this sound like the correct thing to say?

For a little less than a month now I have had severe neck pain. I cracl my neck constantly to relieve tension and pain as gross as that is. I don’t want to crack it and I fear I am hurting myself more. I am seeing a doctor in a few days but I don’t understand why this is happening. My parents thinki it is growing pains but I could literally crack it all day long if I wanted to (Which I don’t)
Please help me!

I had my DUI court date scheduled few days ago (in CA) and I was told that the CA hasn’t filed the charges yet, but they have up to 1 year to file. Is it common to have charges filed months after the incident? and what happens if they never file?
