He and his family have forever been changed. He wasn't greedy, it is a standard amount based on other lawsuits that have happened in the past. Haste is the problem here, haste on thepart of the WSP.

We rarely have this issue...it is too important for them to be buckled and correctly Sun, 3 Jun 2012 00:54:41 +0000 http://federalway.komonews.com/news/911/754351-6-year-old-girl-injured-auburn-car-crash#IDComment372860709 http://www.komonews.com/news/local/Cedar-Heights-Middle-School-evacuated-as-students-fall-ill-156469555.html#IDComment372055598 The school didn't even send out their typical Robo-call reguarding situations like this, I personally received a call from the fire department saying my daughter was okay and if I gave them permission to leave her at school. Calling the Kent School District amounted to no usefull information. Although everything ended up fine with my daughter it would have been nice to have been notified via robocall that all after school activite were cancelled. Thanks to the fire department for a quick response and the friendly call.

They order a ton of lumber to build these homes so it would have to be a problem in other homes. More information is needed.

I know our government if corrupt but not near as currupt or ineffective as other countries... including Mexico. I feel fortunate and protected despite our government's imperfections and corruptions.

I've lived in both towns, and although they are filled with longtime residence that are amazing and productive the 'fringe' tend to move out to these areas because they stay under the radar. Crazy, if you were going to bless them with Holy Water, couldn't you do that on site?

She lived the lie, and I think the $$ she orginally received were her desire.

His infection started the size of a quarter and spread rapidly, while in the hospital he went daily into surgery to have the infection areas cut away until they were sure it was stopped. He is lucky to still have his arm because it was caught so soon. I'm praying for this young woman that she survives and makes it through rehab with hope.

I hope answers are given and shared soon, and tht the family can move through this and find healing.

She threw it away, I think finders keepers in this case. Maybe I missed this, but how long after she threw it away did she come back to retrieve it? a few minutes ??? (then it would be hers as a mistake was obviously made. A few days, and how do we know it was hers if there many tickets in teh trash? Wed, 2 May 2012 23:12:08 +0000 http://www.komonews.com/news/national/Woman-who-tossed-winning-lotto-ticket-entitled-to-1-million-149756365.html#IDComment352963570 http://www.komonews.com/news/national/Mom-charged-with-taking-daughter-5-into-tanning-booth-149832305.html#IDComment352957077 I don't think she took her into the booth, and she probably does take her tanning with her; but if she really loves that girl more than life itself she will stop tanning. Does she want to be around when the girl is 7 or 8 or 12 or 20? They'll have to prove she had her in the booth. She might be able to pay some of those judgements if she weren't tanning so much anyway. I've never used a tanning booth but I can't imagine bringing your child or that being allowable, but maybe.

She maybe should have a withdrawel limit. Our Great grand father was a healthy, wise and happy person well into his 90's but knew it was time to have help with the $$$ and for that reason he lived comfortably until he passed away. Families (and maybe they've tried) really need to look after their aging parents and grandparents, although not all are trustworthy. Darned if you do, and maybe darned if you don't.

Not all streets are pedestrian friendly, and I believe 'pedestrians' have the right-of-way. All drivers are suppposed to drive offensively as well as defensively.
