Good Morning All... Hope everyone has a great day.

So sorry about the job Tasha. I'm afraid that my husband's gonna bail on his soon but I keep reminding him of the importance of finding a NEW job before he leaves the OLD one. Basically his supervisor is an azz and has fired about 4 people since he started the job!!!

Amal what happened to your husband to make him in this condition? Was it a car accident?

Good morning everyone else I have my surgical consultation this afternoon so inshallah I will be operated on sometime this week. It's really getting bad where I'm waking up three times during the night from the pain and throwing up at least once daily.

He was in a car accident about a week ago. He was hit head on by someone who slid accross the road into his lane. His head hit the steering wheel and he sprained his neck. The doc in the ER was stupid and even though we insisted that his airbag didn't deploy properly he said that hubsters head couldn't have possibly hit the steering wheel. He didn't listen and released us after about 20 minutes. Oh well, we at least have it on record that the ER saw him shortly after the wreck. He has since gone to a specialist to be evaluated and he immediately told hubster that he needed an MRI coz his eye didn't look right. He also hooked him up to the electric shock machine (he didn't know which one it was) and said that the muscles in his shoulders and back were definitely messed up. He's always had an issue with stress knots but these are unlike any he's ever had before and much more painful. *sigh* I do feel bad for him.

Anybody here work for insurance companies? They only gave him a rental car for 72 hours which is by far not long enough for him to get another vehicle and on top of that, he hasn't gotten the insurance money yet to be able to afford a new one. Does anyone know why it was only 72 hours and if that can be extended?

Brig, I sure hope they get u fixed up soon coz that pain is nothing to sniff at. Keep us updated and I'll be prayin' for ya.

Also, Tasha, I meant to say earlier that I'm so glad ur feeling better! Strep is a beeyotch!!!

Hi Amal,

I do work for an Insurance company mainly handling the Bodily Injury portion of the claims. I am in IL and I handle MO, IN and some TX claims.

I don't know what state you are in... Most insurance companies pay on a rental reimbursement basis. Meaning you rent the vehicle...they will pay up to a certain amount per day and once the claim is finished and your vehicle has either been repaired or totaled out, you would present the rental bill to them for reimbursement at that time. Some companies provide a rental vehicle as a courtesy if the accident appears to be the fault of the person they insure, but they are not obligated to do so. Some companies can also do a direct bill to the rental company and you would not have to come out of pocket at all. I would suggest contacting them to see if they will either extend it, do a direct bill or find out what they pay per day for rentals on a reimbursement basis. If you have any questions, you can PM and I can try to provide additional information.

HAPPY FRIDAY MENA!!! I hope everyone has a great weekend. OH Happy Sweetest Day! It's tomorrow.

Congratulations!!!! I am very happy for you. I hope he gets his visa soon and arrives quickly. Enjoy your life together!

Morning Mena..... Have a good day.

Bridget I hope you feel better and have your surgery soon.

Carmen, don't be depressed.... I am praying that you hear something soon.

Jackie... your man will be here before you know it!! ATTACK! LOL

That's an AWESOME recipe Amal! I am definitely going to try it. :-)

Morning Mena! Hope everyone had a good weekend. It's Monday.... I know, But let's make it a good day.

Happy Saturday to all. I am up too darn early as well. Hope everyone has a good weekend. We got our NOA1's for the AOS and EAD. Let's pray for no RFE'S!

I hope everything works out for you and your Fiancee' Hot Guy. I will keep you in my prayers.

I believe you GANJA GIRL! I get that one a lot too. Mostly from Men. It's funny when they are the drivers its cool for them to go over 90MPH but let a woman do it and we are "reckless". LOL What's up with that?

I am soo sorry for the AP Sandrila! I will keep you both in my prayers and I hope that it is over soon. Have a good weekend.

I will tell you it takes a lot of patience and my husband yells out of frustration! I told him hush up or I will make you walk home! Last night he was cursing himself in Arabic for forgetting to turn on his turn signal and look over his shoulder! When I said what are you doing? He yelled "HUSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH, I'm trying to concentrate!!" I laughed and said, "Me hush?, you are the one cussing at yourself!! You are keeping yourself from concentrating. Sometimes I just say God, grant me the patience to not choke the man!!

That's cool about the color coded signs. I've never been to Chicago and only rode a subway once for fun when I was a teenager and we visited Washington DC. Other than that never rode a public bus!

SEE!! I am trying to avoid all of that! LOL He still thinks I should run red lights instead of waiting because they have NO RULES in Egypt. I told him we won't even begin to entertain the thought of driving until he can understand our rules here.

My father said he would volunteer to teach him as well. I think that would probably work the best.

It is a lot easier getting around Chicago because of the trains and color coded signs. That will help him a lot. I haven't been on the train or bus in about 5 years. I didn't even know they talk and tell the street names. LOL I was shocked when I heard it. I am spoiled with driving, but it's nice to have public transportation too.

Happy Friday Mena! SOOOOO glad today is Friday. I am ready to go home and bypass the Apple cider for a nice glass of Merlot.

Weekend plans are teaching my husband how to ride the bus and train in CHICAGO! I am sure we will be fine..... someone tell me we will be fine.

Hope you guys have a great weekend.

He'll be fine! Chicago is so easy with the color coding system for the trains, and the numbering for the busses.

Now the Metra...that one confuses me

Yeah I wouldn't dare do the Metra. It should be fun. He has to learn because he starts his ESL classes in 2 weeks so he wants to take the train to school.

Carmen I see you are moving right along with your timeline!!! Congrats to you.

LOL Thank you. I am sure your hubby will be fine too. Ahmed MUST take public transportation. He doesn't know how to drive and I have NO patience for teaching him. I am a Chicagoan. LOL I am going to sign him up for driving school when that time comes. Probably no time soon.

Happy Friday Mena! SOOOOO glad today is Friday. I am ready to go home and bypass the Apple cider for a nice glass of Merlot.

Weekend plans are teaching my husband how to ride the bus and train in CHICAGO! I am sure we will be fine..... someone tell me we will be fine.

Hope you guys have a great weekend.

Congrats to you. Inshallah the rest of your journey will go smoothly.

YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am soo happy for you!!! Congrats girl!!! Tell USAMA to relax! I know he is going crazy right now. He will be here with you before the Holidays! We are coming to WA STATE!!

You know I am praying for you. Love ya girl!

CONGRATULATIONS!!! Wishing you and your husband a Beautiful life together.

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! Very happy for you.
