re: GMC announces starting MSRP numbers for upcoming 2027 Sierra 1500 half ton truck
Posted by Festus on 9/26/26 at 10:42 am to weagle1999
2018 Tacoma here, with only 51k miles. Documented every service appointment with dealership. I retire next year. I’m praying this is my last truck. I really don’t want to buy anything new, but they say if you do it, do it before you retire. Obviously I don’t put a lot of miles on it. I think I’m gonna ride it out.

Did you know after you get snipped, when you have an orgasm, a puff of baby powder shoots out like a smoke signal?

More like Baker Mayfield to me, from OK days. Without the assholishness.

Hmmmm…. Tough call. Work, or do something you love to make more money. That’s a toss up if you ask me.

He found me some good WWII stuff. Haven’t heard from him in a while. He’s really good at what he does.

I hadn’t seen Leavitt before last night playing. I thought the Mayfield comparison was spot on. Shockingly accurate.

Just watch the improvement from week 1 to 2. Lane will fix that easily. Most of it I would bet was nerves and the delay. Conditions were still wet.
They’ll be what we expect them to be once they settle in. Leavitt will improve. And backup and QB3 are studs as well.

Speaking out against vs. death penalty sanctions being instituted is not consistency.

Only here to say that’s definitely a run on sentence, lol
My theory, weeds are spreading like crazy because so many have lawn people doing their yards. Thus, every weed from every yard gets spread by the one lawn mower cutting them all.
When I was a kid, we had the basics, clovers, dandelion, etc. But everyone cut their own yards. You didn’t see all these lawn services.
And I might be completely wrong. Just a Festus theory.

Morning all. Up at 3 am, no explanation. And couldn’t fall back to sleep. Took a shower. Waffle House may be in my near future. Alone with a cup of coffee..

That place is still delicious and they now deliver on DoorDash. Kung Pao chicken and Bourban chicken in one dish, :drool:.
And enough for 3 meals.

Sorry if this has already been explained, but didn’t want to read every post. I have 38 years experience in WC. It’s not uncommon at all for employers to continue to pay an injured employee’s salary. And if they do, they’re helping the employee as they only get 2/3 under WC.
The reason they do it is not necessarily noble. Usually it’s to keep cost of claim down, so their EMOD stays lower, keeping their insurance rates lower.
WC is a statutory insurance. The injured employee’s rights are guaranteed. The claim is two parts, lost wages (indemnity) and medical. Many employers want to keep it a medical only claim for their rates. But once they realize it’s not a simple injury, they may ask the insurance company to convert it to lost time and start paying the weekly benefits. It’s very common.
There’s nothing nefarious about it. Doing it this way will in no way affect the injured employee’s benefits. They will still have their right to choose a doctor in each field of specialty. It’s merely a cost saving strategy for the company that actually favors the employee as well, in that they receive 100% of their salary, not 66 2/3 of it.
Sorry for the long winded answer.
ETA: it is illegal for a company to force an injured employee to use PTO in lieu of WC. The worker can use it to make up the 1/3 if they choose to. But a worker cannot legally be forced to take PTO and not get paid indemnity, or salary in lieu of indemnity.
