Fast forward now...
All was going great till I asked my doctor to give me a referral to get a sleep study done. I don't sleep that great (do the toss and turn every 45-minutes like clock-work). After three requests my personal doctor gave in (grudlying I might add...saying he doesn't feel I have sleep apnea) for a sleep study.
A short history lesson is needed before I go further....
I suffered a major head injury in late 1994 when I was stuck in the driver's door by a dump truck which was traveling at 55 mph (was driving a semi at the time in Minnesota) and was airlifted to Rochester, MN with numerous injuries including a head injury. I progressed thru the system in record time (amazed the hospital staff that I progressed so quickly) and within a year was back to driving a semi and finished my schooling at a medic also. Also I have enlarged tonsils (mom never had them removed when I was a child), my family (excluding me) smoked when I was a child and I have a birth defect to my chest (compressed ribcage...when they do an x-ray..makes it appear that I have an enlarged heart).
Anyway, back to the issue at hand now.
So with this referral I saw the sleep study department at the clinic and found out that a sleep study there was over $4,000 but my employer at the time (Schneider National) was offering the driver's them for free. Well being that the economy still is sluggish, I took free...right?
Boy that was a major mistake...LOL
So after notifying the employeer of my request to have a sleep study done. They scheduled me to have it completed at the Hammond Clinic in Hammond, IN during a week night. This is where I should have seen the warning signs and all current or potential employees heed my further warnings now please.
When I was preparing to do the study, the clinic furnished me numerous papers to read and sign. One of them said that at the conclusion of the study, they will forward the results to a physician that Schneider contracts thru out of Houston, TX - Precision Pulmonary Diagnostics (google the name you will see all about them and Schneider if you wish. Anyway, that after the bill for testing services are complete, the clinic destroyes all records of the test; which I didn't think was legal or ethical. The technician told me that if I wished to get a copy of any of the testing done here I would need to contact this doctor out of Houston, TX or ask my employer. OK???
Then the technician told me that they will monitor my sleep and if it appears that I have sleep apnea (somewhere in the middle of the night) they would come in with a CPAP machine and have me wear that and see if that improves my sleep issues.
The technician used a automated blood pressure machine to read my B/P. I have low blood pressure (which was documented on my DOT physician which was done two month prior) but per this machine..I now have high blood pressure. I told him that was wrong and please do it manually. He refused to do so.
Well eight hours later, he came in to wake me up...no CPAP strapped to my face so I assumed I don't have sleep apnea. Boy was I wrong...as I was getting dressed here comes the boxes when he told me I have mild sleep apnea. When I questioned him what does he mean and how many times did I stop breathing thru-out the night...he told me he was not "allowed" to tell me such information.
I was like, dude...I am medically trained and if you are going to force me to do something that might affect my health...I need to know the whole story. He grudely told me he observed that I stopped breathing for 8 times that night. But again stressed that he couldn't tell me about this...that he would would get in trouble if he talked to me about this...(strange I was thinking and well...I was upset).
So anyway, I left the clinic and went back to work. I told the clinic and my immediate Schneider supervisor that before I start using the CPAP machine, that I need to talk to another doctor of mine (other long-term medical issues that affect me) and make sure that this will not further increase harm. They all agreed and understood my concern.
The other doctor gave me a green-light and so I began my CPAP usage. Prior to using the CPAP machine...a clinical specialist with Precision Pulmonary Specialist called and spoke to me. I explained my concerns with the clinic destroying records and the technician not allowed to talk to me after the test.
She explained that yes, this was common required practice that they mandate with their testing centers that records be sent to them and the testing center destroy further records. That also the technicians do not talk about the test results with the drivers since they don't want wrong information being fed to the driver. I understand that point...but at the same time...what is with all the secrets? RED FLAG again raised here.
I told her my "complete medical history" and told her that I do not feel I have sleep apnea. That there is numerous other issues that are playing into the whole picture here that could be affecting me..including the head injury (long-term effects). She agreed and told me that the director (a phyisican) would call my back from Precision Pulmonary.
Two days later, I received a phone call from a Houston based number which I answered. Being that I can speak some french, I normally speak french when I do not know the caller as to defer telemarkers. The person that called was a male and asked if I was there. I answered in french that I was...again the called spoke my name to which I answered in french "yes". This question/answer session of if I was there happened about three times when the male called started to tell me my sleep study information. Mind you I have no idea who this was and never once spoke french back to me or asked if I could speak english to him.
At this time I was upset and stopped the caller in mid-sentence demanding in english who this was. The caller told me he was the director of this clinic that Schneider contacts thru and was returning my requested call back and then started back with my medical history.
Ok I was now really upset...any of you that know anything about medical privacy laws see the violations here already. Those that don't I will explain. First the callers did not verify that I was the caller he was looking for...only assumed that. Secondly never told me who he was and thirdly never asked me for consent to talk to me (didn't know who I was yet) to disclose my medical information on the phone. Yes at this point I was very upset.
So I let him talk and when done (he never gave me medical information about me)...the call was a sales pitch about what sleep apnea was, what the trucking industry is trying to do to combat the situation and how this company (his company) can prove to the industry, including the drivers.
He explained that with my high blood pressure and being over weight (50 pounds over standard accepted weight for body frame/height) that these are proof positive that I was prone to have sleep apnea. I told him I do not have high blood pressure. That I have normal to low blood pressure. I have 30-some years of medical records that will prove that and that the machine was faulty and the technician denied redoing the measurement with a standard B/P cuff.
Great, to bad that didn't help or answer anything I want to know about. I then started to ask the tough questions like why did he immediately violate patient confidentality laws when he called me and started to discuss my medical history to me with out verifying I was the intented person he wished to talk with. What was Hammond Clinic ordered to destroy all the testing information after payment was made in full to them and why is the technician (which is in the next room from me when I was sleeping) not allowed to tell me anything other then..."congratulations you have sleep apnea, here is your equipment".
The doctor had no real answers and keep trying to side-step the questions back to sleep apnea and what they could do for me. Hmm hello...got that..thanks but that is not what I want to know. At this point I knew I wasn't going to get much out of him so I asked for his Texas medical license number....all medical personnel that are licensed in the state that they practice medicine (including me as a medic) have license numbers. He refused to give that to me..RED FLAG. So I warned him that I could easily find that out by calling the TX medical board or looking it up on the web. He still refused. So then I asked him...so how many times did I stop breathing.
(Hang on to your chairs folks)
The doctor told me I stopped breathing a total of 350 times that night. WHAT? (Simple math time....350 times in one night divided by an 8 hour sleep study period...that means I stopped breathing 43.75 times an hour). Ok.....but the technician which was in the next room told me I stopped breathing 8 times that night. Excuse me...that is like saying the world is flat and the world is round. Sure we are talking about the world here but clearly not the same outcome.
I let him know that he was lying and that I knew he wasn't looking at my sleep study. He admitted that he didn't have my sleep study results in front of him at that moment. WHAT? you call and don't have the patients information in front of you to discuss the information with them? I them demanded again for his medical license number since I was going to file a complaint with the Texas health board. To which he denied telling me what it is. OK..scam time? this is clearly not a doctor or a doctor want-to-be. We never did get anything resolved other than more questions then answers.
I told Schneider of the problems that I had with this doctor to which they told me that this was the first time they ever had anyone complain about them. That other big trucking companies use them with no issues. I replied, well maybe you all didn't do your homework and possiblity being scammed.
I did find the doctors information via the Texas health board in good standing...ok good he is a real doctor...I think. I to this day have no way of knowing if this was the real doctor I was talking with or someone else claiming it was him. I did file a complaint with the Texas health board and they are still investigating the matter.
So I spoke to my other doctor and she gave me the green light to use the CPAP machine. Mistake number...oh hell I have lost count what number that is. Anyway, started to use it and new issues immediately appeared, including unable to wake up...stuck in-between half awake/half asleep. Disorientated for the first hour after waking up, heaviness in my lungs, unexplained head aches, change in my right eye vision, falling asleep on my back while inspecting the undercarrage of the trailer (never can sleep on my back prior) and unable to speak for the first 15 minutes after using CPAP machine...all which are major head issues.
I voiced my concerns with the company out of Houston to which they readjusted the pressures and told me to wait it out. Nothing changed...only got worse. Not getting any relief, I called Schneider headquarters and talked to the health department there....mistake again.
They listened and would talk with the Houston, TX company and see what they could do for me. Great...more pressure changes.
Now normally I do not leave the unit plugged in and unsecured in the sleep berth (no way to secure the unit). In the event of a sudden stop or crash..this 20 pound unit which sits behind my seat...will not become a 100+ missle in the cab. The head injury doctors in Rochester, MN has said that I will "not live or be normal or have this good of an outcome" if I suffer another head injury.
Being a medic...I have seen the horrible outcomes of folks that don't use their seatbelts or the injuries from unsecured objects in with a moving vehicle. So I disconnected the unit daily and put the unit away in the closet. Both as a safety issue and for a fire hazard prevention issue.
Well a two months into the usage of the CPAP machine, the Houston company called me and asked why they were not able to read the CPAP machine. I told them they could when I was using it otherwise I have it stored during the day (while I am working) as not to be a safety issue. The called then told me "well then since you are not using the CPAP as ordered by the physician, we will tell Schneider you are not using it and they will determine what they will do with you". WHAT? I didn't say I wasn't using it...I just said I dont have it plugged in right now and its put away.
FYI: they have a wireless transmitter to the unit so this company can download information off of it at will or change settings.
I told them that I will have to start recording my calls since I never said that...and will talk with Schneider about this since you are clearly mixing my words now. They said we can get Schneider on the phone with us if you like. I said please do....
So they brought in Kristine Schneider (head manager of the health department of Schneider National. I told her what is going on and how this company is changing my words around. How the unit is unable to be secured in a moving vehicle so for my safety and the safety of others, I secure the unit till I need it nightly.
Oh how quickly the double back now...but Kristine Schneider told me that they never had anyone have this issue. That every driver leaves the units plugged in all the time and unsecured. I explained to her that this was a safety issue, fire hazard issue and I was taking simple steps to protect everyone (including the truck) here.
Kristine ordered me to leave the unit plugged in since no one else ever had issues with the units plugged in (yet). Key word here is yet folks.
I did and three days later my immeidate supervisor messaged me that this company in Texas was not able to download any information from the CPAP machine. I texted the boss back telling them it has been plugged in for the last three days now...that I am taking a nap in the middle of an abandoned truckstop here in lower Minnesota and there is no one here...hell no trees even to block the satellite signal. So if they can't download information...its not my fault. He called the company in Texas and got back to me and said...his fault...they got the information.
Oh we are not done yet.
In October of last year...I was still suffering from what I saw was the feeling of a small 5 year old child sitting on my chest after using the CPAP machine all-night. The feelings would go away after a few hours later...so clearly a cause and effect here.
Spoke to the Houston company out this and they suggested that I stop using the CPAP machine and seek my doctor advise now. The next day, I was pulled out of the truck per Schneider nurses after I made the second stop of a three stop delivery in Superior, WI (or about 100 miles from home).
I explained the issues to the nurse at Schneider and she said that they feel I was having a heart attack and it was my issue to find my own way home from there. I was to leave the truck/trailer and load there and not move. They had another driver come and get the load and finish the delivery and my mother on her day off (thank goodness) come and got me. Mind you there is no way home from there...no buses, no train, no airport...
Well when I got home Schneider has faxed a doctor release form to my doctor to fill out and fax back. I had already filed for unemployment while I was waiting for my mother to come and get me. My personal doctor was clearly upset at how the sleep study was done, the lack of information and the handling of the whole situtation.
He filed out the medical release form and faxed it back to Schneider...reason? A complete heart exam was done prior to the sleep study and they found my heart to be in great shape. An EKG was done in office...no issues seen. My personal doctor felt that if I continue to use the CPAP machine the issues that I was feeling in my chest will go away...that the pressure settings at this time were to high...like over inflating a balloon and my lungs were under stress.
So it was faxes back and two days later Schneider denied my doctor exam. Further placed new restrictions and demands that I see the following specialists:
a pulomanarolist (a lung doctor)
a cardiologist (a heart doctor)
a neurologist (brain and nerves doctor)
a mental health technician
great and who is going to pay for this and why? My personal doctor was really upset now and the nurse called me to say that Schneider was seeking all my medical records. That I should call them and ask them what they want since they would not release everything...(doctors since I was a baby).
When I called Schneider I was told that they want "records of interest". Ok so define that...what does that mean? You want my date of birth records...since that is of interest...right? She go upset and told me to quit playing games if I want a job here and hung-up on me after never explaining what records of interest means.
So I called back and demanded to speak to Kristian Schneider. I told her I that I have no idea what "records of interest" means and I don't like being belittled and hung-up on. She agreed and told me if I had a EKG done that would be records of interest. If I had another sleep study done, that would be records of interest. Thanks, now I have an idea what your asking for.
When I went to the my doctor's nurse I told her this...so she forward the only thing we have...the EKG results. Which further upset Schneider and they sent back another request of medical records. So I said...screw it...sign it all over...I have no idea what they want to just give it to them. The head injury records from Rochester, MN they don't have nor can this clinic release anything they might have that came from them anyway.
And the story get thicker now....
Four days later the record department of the clinic called me back and explained that they would release the records but Schneider is refusing to pay the records copy charge...what should I do? I told her...well there is nothing you can do...if they don't want to pay, then I am not going to pay it for them. End of issue.
The neurologist and the pulomaroglist is not a fast doctor to get into folks...waiting list of atleast two months.
When I did get into to do the breathing tests...the pulomorogist had another medical emergency to tend to so that was another 2 month delay to get my results back.
During which time..the mental health exam....covered under the EAP program. I spoke to the EAP coordinator and told her the issues I was having. She agreed that this was not a mental health issue but clearly a medical issue but that I needed to see this councelor just to please Schneider.
This is where the road turns hard left...those that are drivers hang-on to the keyboard.
The first session was strange and also opened my eyes to why Schneider had sent me here. When I questioned the reason I was here...the counselor explained that he has the legal right per FMCSA regulations to evaulate me under Drug and Alchohol regulations. WHAT? Who said I was doing drugs and/or drinking? He kept thru out the first session telling me "come on now...you can tell me your secrets" and that "Im your friend...its safe to tell me everything". WHAT? Later when the nice guy tacts didn't work..he told me "how would you feel or react if I threw a brick on the floor which hit your foot?". WHAT? I told him would that be before or after I put you into the wall for just assualting me (the threat to harm someone) or battery (to do the act) or after I called the cops?
That was the end of that meeting..I was upset sure...what counselor is this quack? I saw this guy three times before he told me that I wasn't qualified to evaulate me and would have me see a phycologist. Told him that my insurance doesnt pay for that and per the EEOC (equal employment opprotunity commissions) prior decisions...that Schneider would have to pay for this treatment since the were the ones that directed me to see you...were at the other doctors...they left it up to me who I could see...(doctors that is). If Schneider will not pay for my medical records, I know darn well they aren't going to pay for some mental health doctor. Plus this whole evaluation is illegal per FMCSA regulations anyway. They skipped the suspision drug testing and convicting me of something I don't do by sending to to a drug/alchohol counselor for evaluation?
If they felt that my issues with the CPAP machine was due to drugs/alchohol...FMCSA regulations are very well defined as to what the employer has to do...but no...two months later after they boot me from the truck now they are skipping the rules? This is illegal and I will file an complaint to protect my rights in court and with the EEOC.
I called my good friend and employment law (trucking attorney) right from this quacks office and told him the news. He suggested that I document everything and get copies of the doctor's notes prior to leaving the office and we will talk later. After I got off the phone the counselor told me he will tell Schneider that he will not see me any longer (really?...LOL)
In January of this year...I had filed an ADA violations complaint with the FMCSA after Schneider terminated my employment. I finally was able to see the lung doctor and "again" was told that I breathe with about 70% lung capacity...a outcome from my family smoking when I was a child and the accident (chest injury). That I am getting plenty of oxygen to my body...just can't do something things like run a mile like others with normal lung capacities can do.
Yesterday I was finally able to see the neurologist....and great news here.
The neurologist downloaded the CPAP data card and said.."your pressures on that CPAP are way to high". I am to bring the CPAP machine in next week so he can auto set it and see let it run for a month before making a determination on what setting the pressure should be at.
When he examed me...he remarked.."wow you have large tonsils". If I got a dollar from every time I heard that I would be rich by now and also noted that I am a mouth breather since I can bearly breath thru my nose. At night I use to drool on my pillow and my dentist hates that I breath thru my mouth. So I have taught myself to keep my mouth closed when I sleep and this will explain why my oxygen level drops at night when I sleep and I wake up and turn over...only to do this again and again.
He suggested that I see the Ear, Nose and Throat doctor and get the tonsils removed and open up my nasal passages. Then lose the extra weight and the sleep apnea issues will be gone.
He describes my sleep apneas as so mild as if I fell down and my face crossed over the tresh-hold of what is classified as sleep apnea. Oh wait...didn't I say that I don't think I have sleep apnea and all this maybe a symptom of other issues?
So now this next Monday...I will schedule an appointment with the EENT doctor and go down this path.
My point here to this on-godly long post is:
1) when did trucking companies get into the business of playing medical doctors and start prescribing treatments as if each trucker is created from the same cookie cutter mold?
2) what is with all the secrets? ranging from the clinic, the medical staff that one driver will ever see and the company itself?
3) when someone starts questioning stuff or raising the alarm that we are deviating from the standard? that they get rid of the vocal driver?
Folks, I am not saying this is just an issues with Schneider...its an issue with the whole industry. Sure there are some driver's that really do have undocumented sleep apnea out there...I am not denying that....but I being one...didn't fall into that group. I don't snore, I am slightly over weight (all around the gut only...a side effect of another medical issue I have to take medications for) and have low to normal blood pressure. The only issue I had was the unexplained sleep pattern which every doctor I am seeing believes is a symptom of enlarge tonsils, narrow nasal passage ways and maybe a sligh effect from my prior head injury.
It stands to reason that the industry wants to lower sleep depraved accidents (which I have no accidents in my 19 years career) and the sleep apnea industry sees a cash cow of money if they can mandate that every CDL holder gets a sleep study done at least once in their career. But there is no one size fits all cookie cutter mold out here and the only folks that will benefit from this cookie cutter mold is the sleep study industry.
Think about it and post your comments below.

Nice work Duke. You just gave a whole new meaning to mini-scale!
I would make the masts a bit longer though.
Wonder what it'll look like with minifigs!

I think it would be interesting if someone took upon the challenge of designing sails made from material, for one of these mini MOCs.

There are a lot of detail put into such a small model.
Are there any plans to make a M-F scale ship in the near future?
Also, I'm hoping your ship will enjoy its stay in the Index of MOC Ships. *y*

I must be getting old because it does not seem like a year has passed since writing The Null Set's seventh anniversary post but the calendar says otherwise. To the frequent readers/commenters, the one-timers, and everyone in between – Thank you! I'd like to promise (and deliver) more content and better content but I am who I am and all I can do is try.
I feel a rambling bit of introspection coming on, so, if reading that doesn't sound appealing to you then this should be the last sentence you read before going – I don't mind, you won't hurt my feelings …incidentally, I've often wondered if I'd read my blog if someone else wrote it (look at me stretching this sentence out, anyways🙂 ) – thanks again for visiting.

The main activity for football fans at this time of the year is trying to guess how good their teams will be in the coming season. One way to approach this highly unreliable -- but highly enjoyable -- activity is to look not at how good we will be relative to other teams -- there being a strong tendency to think that other teams all have demigods at every position while we have incompetents -- but relative to our own recent past: will we be better or worse than last year? And we can break up the question into smaller parts: where will the team be improved over last year and where will it be worse?
Every team tries to improve in all areas, but it can't always do so. Players leave, players age, players disappoint. Ditto the coaching staff. Every team hopes that its improvements outweigh its declines, so that it will be better overall. Obviously, some teams get not better, but worse.
With this thought in mind, what can we expect from the 49ers in 2009? I think it is fair to say that we can reasonably expect improvements in nearly all areas. No, of course there is no certainty. No, of course we don't have crystal balls. Yes, of course there is always the possibility of injuries having a substantial and unexpected effect. Given those obvious caveats, at what positions do you EXPECT the Niners to be WORSE in 2009 than they were in 2008 (averaged over the whole year)?
- Offensive line
- Tight ends
- Wide receivers
- Quarterback
- Running backs
- Defensive line
- Outside linebackers
- Inside linebackers
- Cornerbacks
- Safeties
- Special teams
And one might take some intangible facets of football into consideration, too:
- Coaching
- Preparation (practices, game planning)
- Teamwork
- Conditioning
- Motivation (read: hard work!)
I find it hard it to name an area where I truly expect worse performance this year than last. Perhaps our young receivers don't progress as fast as we would like and our older ones hit the age wall. Likewise, maybe our key special team players (Nedney, Rossum) turn out to be a bit past their prime. But -- injuries apart, remember -- I can't imagine the OLine, for example, or the team's conditioning (thanks to the Hill of Pain) being worse than last year.
In fact, I expect equal, significantly better, or at least slightly improved, performance in virtually all of these 16 areas. I needn't enumerate all the reasons to expect improvements in each of these areas -- you all know them and have been discussing them for months. And since football is a team sport, even small improvements in lots of areas can have a synergistic effect: A better OLine makes the quarterback improve even more than he would by himself, which makes the receivers better, etc., etc. You all know how that works. So I'm expecting a substantially better team this year.
But what am I missing? Are there positions or other aspects of the game where you truly think -- not just fear or worry -- that we will (even assuming no injuries) be WORSE next year? I think -- and hope! -- that will be a shorter list than the list of expected improvements. I'm very much interested in your thoughts.
Unless we go backwards in a number of areas, there is reason for considerable optimism this year! What could those areas be?
(Pardon the length! Perhaps it would good just to Post Reply rather than Quoting the whole beastly thing. )

Graceville volunteer firefighters say 3-year-old Tyler Deon saw flames and woke his mother up.
Following their escape, the three-bedroom home on Peanut Road was engulfed in flames.
A few weeks earlier, a similar fire took place down the street.
Susan Rodriguez saw her house on fire and first thought her 16-year-old son was inside.
Although the fires are not related it is believed electrical-shorts started both of them.

I want to also set things straight about our business practices and ethics. We sell our equipment for exactly what Verizon Wireless prices theirs for online. Sometimes there are mail in rebates so the price will be higher upfront but in the end the price is the same. We provide our customers an experience they won't get at other wireless stores for instance; no sign in (you are not a number to us), no rushed sales (you come in and are immediately greeted and offered a seat. We are here to listen to you), no high pressure smart phone upselling (although we may explain the benefits), and service after the sale (each customer has a direct connection to their sales rep via reps cellphone number). what more could a customer ask for?

IRVING, Texas -- In detailing the Dallas Cowboys' bargains in a post last week, I mentioned Pro Bowl running back DeMarco Murray.
It seems I forgot one of the provisions in the new collective bargaining agreement when I looked at Murray's base salary ($755,469) and salary-cap figure ($946,094).
The new CBA has a "proven performance escalator" for players drafted in Rounds 3-7. Picks in the first two rounds and undrafted free agents are not eligible for the escalator.
If a player is on the field for 35 percent of the snaps in any two of his three regular seasons or if he plays in an average of 35 percent of those snaps in three seasons, then the player's base salary in his fourth year will accelerate to the right of first refusal tender given to restricted free agents.
So instead of making a $755,469 base salary in 2014, Murray will earn a base salary of $1.389 million. When you add in his signing bonus proration and a $25,000 workout bonus, Murray will count $1.554 million against the cap in 2014.
After the year he had in 2013, he remains a bargain. He just eats up some more cap space in a year in which cap space will be precious for the Cowboys.
Murray is the only player from the 2011 draft class eligible for the "proven performance escalator." Dwayne Harris, a sixth-round pick in 2011, did not meet the 35 percent threshold.

Patient Comments: Athlete's Foot - Symptoms
How long did the symptoms of your athlete's foot last? Was there anything that helped with symptom relief?
Comment from: Silvergirl, 25-34 Female (Patient) Published: November 13
I have suffered with athlete's foot in varying degrees of discomfort for more than a year now. I have tried every form of topical treatment (too worried about side effects of oral meds). I have come across many suggestions that vinegar or Listerine can cure athlete's foot over a long period of time, like six to 12 months when used one to two times daily. After suffering for more than a year and spending hundreds of dollars, I will try it! It's only been a couple of weeks, and I feel as much relief from the $3 Listerine as I get from the $15 Lamisil.
Comment from: itchymom, 35-44 Female (Patient) Published: November 13
I have suffered from athlete's foot for years (about 10 years)! My feet were covered with white, dry, scaly skin, and they itched, mostly at night. Sometimes I couldn't even sleep. I even developed white spots in my big toenails. I finally saw a dermatologist who tested my feet for fungus, and it came back negative. He said the meds I had been using over the counter made my feet drier. He said the nail spots would grow out, and they did. He gave me Salex lotion to put on my feet twice daily, and it made my feet look human. It's kind of pricey, but it's very effective! I now pumice my feet daily and use athlete's meds when needed. I keep them dry and wear only leather/canvas shoes with clean, dry socks, etc. I've noticed that when I swim a lot, the chlorine tends to make my feet look and feel better. I hope this helps anyone out there. I don't think it ever goes away. In fact, a few years ago, I made the mistake of touching my feet and then my ear and developed it in one of my ears. It was very gross, itchy, runny, etc. But with some cortisone drops and miscellaneous treatments, my ears are finally better now after about five years. Ugh!
Comment from: Suffer Ring, 25-34 Male (Patient) Published: January 27
For athlete's foot rub Vicks VapoRub on feet, wrap in plastic wrap and then put socks on and go to bed. The best trick I've done. Also, Drymax socks are great to reduce moisture. Nothing works for too long.
Comment from: worriedglh, 45-54 Female (Patient) Published: April 03
I've had athlete's foot problems for several years now. No matter what treatment I use, it comes back. I've tried all remedies, medications, pills, and treatments to no avail. I am diagnosed with HPV and have had cervical cancer in the past, resulting in the removal of my left ovary and fallopian tube. I also had two LEEP procedures. My big toe on the left foot has fungus as do my pinky toes on both feet. The left foot is the worst, and I noticed that I'm beginning to get the same fungus on my left hand on my middle finger. I had some warts on my fingers that were frozen, burned, and cut out; however, they came back along with several others on other fingers. I think I first got athlete's foot when I was in my 20s living at home and showering in the same shower as my father. At that time, the problem was regular athlete's foot with the itching, smell, and burning. Over the years, it cleared up, but in my mid 40s it came back. I've had the worst time trying to keep it away. I can't wear sandals in the summer because my feet look as if they belong to someone who's 90 years old! I am 54.
Comment from: loan_girlchicago, 35-44 Female (Patient) Published: February 17
I have had Athlete's foot on and off over the years. I had great results with using tea tree oil. You can get it at health food stores. Apply it three times a day. Also, oregano oil capsules (use as directed on the bottle) usually help within one or two days. Probiotics can help prevent future outbreaks. Garlic pills three times a day for one to two weeks work too. (You can get them odorless.) Spraying vinegar in a spray bottle on the shower/ tub after bathing helps also.
Comment from: Flutterby, 25-34 Female (Patient) Published: November 25
I have had athlete's foot for many years. I have tried all the over-the-counter medications. Nothing has worked, so far. It is only on one foot. It is very red, irritated, and extremely itchy. (It itches worse at night; I wake up to it itching badly.) I keep it clean, and I have pumiced it. I don't know what else to do.
Comment from: 55-64 Male (Patient) Published: November 13
I've had numerous bouts with athlete's foot. It's very frustrating. I'm pretty sure I get it from putting on old footwear that I wore during my previous bout. I've taken to either discarding old shoes and boots and insoles, or immersing them with vinegar for a few hours, and then treating my feet (a soak in very warm vinegar gives relief that day). The key for me is to stay on top of it.

"Through a combination of tight, well-structured plots and fully realized characters, Chesser has emerged as one of the top indie writers in the business."
- Joe McKinney, two time Bram Stoker Award winner, and best-selling author of the Dead World series.
Soldier On, Book 2 in the Surviving the Zombie Apocalypse series, picks up on Day 4 where "Trudge: Surviving the Zombie Apocalypse" left off.
For Cade Grayson, father, husband, and former Delta Force operator, life has changed drastically over the course of forty-eight hours. He's watched the dead inexplicably return to life before his very eyes. He's lost many people near and dear to him, most dying unfathomably horrible deaths at the hands of the dead who have seemingly overnight taken over the big metropolis–their numbers and hunger for human flesh growing exponentially with each passing hour.
After having been forced to kill his reanimated neighbors in self-defense and then surviving the perilous overland journey from his home in Portland, Oregon, Cade finds temporary refuge inside the wire of a Special Forces garrison on the outskirts of Salt Lake City, Utah.
But his stay is short and he decides to strike out alone, resuming the search for his missing wife, Brook, and eleven-year-old daughter, Raven, the only way he knows how—with a laser-like focus and full speed ahead.
So in the early morning hours on Day 4 of what might be the United States and perhaps the entire globe's Extinction Level Event, he slips out Camp Williams' back gate riding a specially modified off-road motorcycle.
Armed and resupplied and with only a satellite phone connecting him to the crumbling world, Cade soldiers on eastbound—locked and loaded—with Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, his small family's last known whereabouts, dead set in his sights.
Meanwhile, four hundred miles away in Colorado Springs, Colorado—the new capital of the United States—President-by-succession Valerie Clay works round the clock with what's left of the military to gather together the resources and scientific know-how necessary to stop the Omega Virus' rapid spread and, starting with Colorado Springs, rid the country of the multitudes of walking dead.
Will the nineteen hundred miles and the millions of dead in Cade's path succeed in keeping him separated from his family?
Will mankind find a foothold against the dead and turn the tide of war?
Cade Grayson, locked and loaded, is determined to find out.

What are the possibilities of losing your baby a couple of weeks before the due date?
My heart goes out to my friend who lost her little one! I know he is with god resting peacefully!
Unfortunately, the risk of losing your baby never dissapears (even after baby is born.) But 80 percent of miscarriages happen before 12 weeks, and stillbirths only occur around 1 in 160 pregnancies. So just relax and know that statistics are in your favor. If we were to obsess over every statistic of something horrible happening during pregnancy, we would drive ourselves crazy.

2 baby boys in heaven and a little girl on Earth.
Its hard to not worry (as I had a stillborn angel at 39 weeks) but my doctor said its very rare and for it to happen multiple times is even more rare.

Just like any one of us could get in a car wreck tomorrow, it occurs yet you can't worry about it because chances are it won't happen.
God bless those who have lost their baby. :'(
Nothing prepared me for what the priviledge of being your mother would do.
My Little Prince - January 2014
That is heartbreaking! I am constantly worried about making it to a point where the baby is "viable" to doctors, because he's already a little life to me, but I realize that there is no 100% safe-zone and thats scary. And as my sister told me, if you think you're worried now just wait till he's born... basically you never stop worrying again in your life. I said.. well thats just greattt! I've lived a pretty charmed life up till now only worrying about myself.
My heart goes out to anyone who has suffered a loss, it brings tears to my eyes just thinking about it and of course I can't even imagine the pain. :(
i actually know two people who lost their babies close to their due date. Which really scares me. My cousin was one who lost hers one month before her due date and then another was a coworker who lost her 4 days before her scheduled delivery. With my first I never even had the thought, but now I think about it all the time and its soo scary.
It is rare, but from what I know there are usually some indicators that something is wrong. If everything is going well so far for you then you shouldn't worry yourself!
I tend to freak out and worry about things so my general rule of thumb is to not worry about anything until there is something to worry about! Hope that helps.
It is rare, but from what I know there are usually some indicators that something is wrong.
Sadly, this isn't the case. Most of the time there are no indications, the baby just passes.

Speaking to the payment center rep, she said I have to call customer service to find out why the service was shut off. Still...no internet even though there is a $0 balance. The customer service rep pushed me back to the payment center with still no answer to why the service was stopped. The second payment center rep said ANY CHANGES TO SERVICE REMOVES SERVICE...so if I do nothing from now on, it will remain active. I am now 4 hours and no internet.

Clean complex with friendly/helpful staff and prompt management/maintenance. Prices are average. Located close Read More to Scottsdale quarter, Scottsdale airport and easy access to the 101 going opposite direction of rush hour. We moved here from a poorly run complex and are very happy. Parking for guests can be an issue. The gym is ilen 24hrs, would be nice if the pool and jacuzzi followed the same hours.

In the past 4 years, I've moved a total of 4 times. As a college student with a very low budget, and a woman w Read Moreith safety as a number one priority, living in Phoenix and finding an apartment that is not only reasonably priced but also not 450 square feet and nice, is relatively hard to come by. Over the past few years, I've dealt with things from leaking walls (yes, water dripping from the side of the wall) to cockroaches and emergency maintenance that takes 6 hours to arrive, but not at Desert Club! I found Desert Club by accident as I was touring another complex right across the street and I thank my lucky stars that I did! Not only are the units incredibly unique, well-kept and packed with amenities, (I love my huge island in the kitchen!) but the management and office personnel are incredibly nice and always helpful. I have zero complaints! Even the rent is reasonable! We have three brand-new complexes being built around us that are priced at minimum $1200-$1300, but Desert Club stays true to their residents and doesn't yank up the prices simply because they don't need to! I always tell people living at Desert Club is like living at a resort. The grounds are perfect, even with a very dog-friendly complex, the pool looks like a resort and the clubhouse/gym (beautifully renovated) is pristine and very modern! I have nothing but fantastic words to say about this community, I plan to renew my lease over and over again!

It sounded good to have a lifetime membership but no amount of money was ever mentioned to become a lifetime member. The letters just said for $$ send in this coupon. I then began getting bills for $300 for the lifetime membership and I contacted them via letter and email that I was not interested but I began to get warning letters that I was to be reported to the credit bureaus!
Finally, they stopped sending the letters and confirmed that I was off their list. NOW, it's starting all over again.
I sent a Return Receipt Requested last week notifying them I'm not a member and don't wish to be. They haven't had time to get my letter, but their letters have accelerated and I've received 2 bill notifications in 2 days already. So hard to get rid of them and I don't want my credit damaged over something I don't want.

U.S. Agencies Face Challenges Countering the Use of Improvised Explosive Devices in the Afghanistan/Pakistan Region
GAO-12-907T: Published: Jul 12, 2012. Publicly Released: Jul 12, 2012.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-7331
Office of Public Affairs

What GAO Found
We identified four categories of assistance U.S. agencies have provided: (1) counter-IED training and equipment, (2) a counter-IED public awareness campaign, (3) training of border officials, and (4) legal assistance for laws and regulations to counter IEDs and IED precursors. We found that each agency providing counter-IED assistance to Pakistan performs a unique role based on its specialized knowledge and expertise. DHS, for example, takes primary responsibility for border management and customs investigation training. DHS conducts joint regional training and operational exercises for both Pakistani and Afghan border officials, including international border interdiction training and cross-border financial investigation training. DHS also plays a lead role in Program Global Shield to foster cross-border cooperation and initiate complementary border management and customs operations. According to DHS, the main goals of Program Global Shield are (1) to identify and interdict falsely declared explosive precursor chemicals, (2) to initiate investigations of smuggled or illegally diverted IED materials, and (3) to uncover smuggling and procurement networks that foster illicit trade.
In providing assistance to Pakistan, which adopted a counter-IED strategy in 2011, U.S. agencies have encountered a range of challenges. U.S. officials in Washington, D.C., and Islamabad, Pakistan identified the following key difficulties that hamper the provision of training and equipment.
- Obtaining visas for U.S. officials.
- Vetting Pakistani officials to receive U.S. training
- Ensuring timely delivery of equipment
- Reaching agreement on the specifics of U.S. assistance projects
- History of smuggling across the Pakistan-Afghanistan border
- Availability of CAN substitutes for IEDs
- Smuggling of IED precursors into Afghanistan from other bordering countries
- Delay in finalizing Pakistans National Counter-IED Implementation Plan
Why GAO Did This Study
Approximately 80 percent of the improvised explosive devices (IEDs) in Afghanistan contain homemade explosives, primarily calcium ammonium nitrate (CAN) smuggled from Pakistan. These IEDs have been a major source of fatalities among U.S. troops in Afghanistan and have been used by various insurgent groups in Pakistan to kill thousands of Pakistani civilians and members of Pakistani security forces. U.S. officials recognize the threat posed by the smuggling of CAN and other IED precursors from Pakistan into Afghanistan, and various U.S. departments, including the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), are assisting Pakistans government in countering this threat.
According to the Department of Defense (DOD), CAN is produced in Pakistan at two factories. DOD estimates that about 240 tons of CANrepresenting less than one-tenth of 1 percent of the two factories total annual production capacityis used by insurgents to make IEDs for use in Afghanistan. When processed and mixed with fuel oil, CAN fertilizer becomes a powerful homemade explosive. DOD officials noted that only a small amount of CAN is required to make powerful IEDs. According to DOD, a 110-pound bag of CAN yields about 82 pounds of bomb-ready explosive material. This small quantity has the capacity to destroy an armored vehicle or detonate 10 small blasts aimed at U.S. forces conducting foot patrols.

Did Al Gore's Success Kill His Marriage? Psychologists Say Couple's Break-up Defied Odds By KIMBERLY BROWN
June 3, 2010
News of the breakup of the 40-year marriage of former Vice President Al Gore and his wife, Tipper, has left many speculating about what caused the split, and still more wondering whether any marriage is safe.
"Suddenly our image of marriages that can work has crashed," said Marion Solomon, a psychologist in Los Angeles. "We have an idea that there are some people that are happy. That it is possible to be happily married in the public eye. ... If they're getting a divorce, can any marriage work?"
The odds are actually pretty good for a couple who tied the knot around 1970, when the Gores were married. Only about 15 percent of marriages dating to that time had broken up after 15 years, said Bradford Wilcox, director of the National Marriage Project at the University of Virginia. And with every anniversary, the risk of divorce declines.
The Gores' marriage spanned four decades, in which they raised four children and weathered crises that included a 1989 car accident that nearly killed their son, Albert Gore III, an event that reportedly brought on Tipper Gore's bout with major depression. And they not only survived decades lived on the political stage, but they seemed to thrive there. Their passionate kiss at the 2000 Democratic Convention left a lasting and much-discussed impression.
While campaigning for president, Al Gore said in an interview that his wife was "someone I've loved with my whole heart since the night of my high school senior prom."
(Excerpt) Read more at abcnews.go.com ...
Funny. Always a positive spin on another liberal screw-up
lulz, perhaps Tipper has come to realize that Gore is simply a crock and she does not want to be married to a crock anymore? =.=
I still suspect that someone has a "friend." You don't leave the comforts of home unless you have another warm bed to jump into. JMO!
IMHO this has been a marriage of convenience for years!! But that's just me!!
I could not care less about the Gore's splitting. Seriously...why is this in the news?
The model characters (or so claims Algore) for Oliver Barrett IV and Jennifer Cavalleri are splitsville. It just makes me want to cry .... not.
My take on it, too. Tipper probably just finally got fed up.
It's hard to imagine that any female would take up with the old windbag, although there are plenty of crazies out there.
As for that famous kiss at the DNC, it always looked to me like it was one-sided, Al pandering to the cameras and smashing her in the process.
Algore is a failure who has become an icon for the left and therefore gets propped up like a puppet. He has had no success of his own.
>> "Suddenly our image of marriages that can work has crashed," said Marion Solomon, a psychologist in Los Angeles. "We have an idea that there are some people that are happy. That it is possible to be happily married in the public eye. ... If they're getting a divorce, can any marriage work?"
That may be the funniest line I've read in a LONG time.
My marriage is certainly shaken by this turn of events. We modeled our marriage on the Gores. We often share awkward public extra-long rape-like kisses, and preach frugality and sustainability while consuming like an Arabic Sultan.
I just don't know if we'll make it. These are indeed tough times for those of us that looked to the Gores for marital guidance.
The man has gone off the deep end and poor Tipper saw this up close and personal.
OMG this article needs a MAJOR [BARF ALERT] tag applied.
Funny, but in reality, who cares? We'll here this liberal analysis crap for months.
Tipper has always struck me as a conservative. I think she finally had enough of his BS globull warming scam.
And I hope by now we all realize that contemporary secular psychology is less than useless. One has a better chance of recovering on one's own than submitting to these quacks.
Sadly, if you try to explain a marriage is between 3 and the 3rd party is the One who ties it together you'd be lambasted. Yet, folks like Marion are totally at a lose to explain what should be obvious.
These people have no idea how stupid they sound do they?
Its news because the liberals own the media
While I don't personally "care" about the Gores, nor do I "know" them. They are a public couple and anytime a marriage of 40 years crumbles, I think that is something noteworthy. In a way, it makes people feel uncomfortable because if it can happen after 40 years, well..
I personally think Al has converted worships the god of global warming. He's a zealot. It's probably hard to live with a zealot.
The liberal template, especially the women's rights movement template, is that marriage is inherently oppressive and bad. There is always an implication that most if not all marriages are shams, entered into and maintained solely for money, popularity, or some other ulterior motive. So noting this breakup looked so normal just validates their template and allows them to denigrate marriage in general.
By the way, next week hubby and I celebrate 25 years of happiness and my folks celebrate their 61st on the same day.
That, plus now there is plenty of money to split. I suspect the current financial statements have something to do with it.
Tell me about it. Our marriage went through a similar crisis when Roseanne Barr and Tom Arnold split up. It was like simultaneously having a rug pulled out from under me and being kicked in the chest. I was shaken to my very core, and forced to question everything I'd always believed. I still wonder how a loving God could allow such a thing to happen. I'll never forget where I was when I heard about it, just like 9/11 or the Challenger explosion... the tears, the anger, the denial, stumbling through the rest of the day in my shellshocked condition. Somehow we managed to pick up the pieces and go on, but it'll never be the same.
Plus the money is much better to split now. I don't think "poor Tipper" is exactly in the shallow end anyway.
Too bad about Al & Tipper's marriage, but oh, please... only an idiot liberal would promote the idea that the rest of us depended on this ego-driven couple to define a happy marriage.
"If they're getting a divorce, can any marriage work?"
Yes, ones not comprised of a pair of entitled, blow-hardy, perpetually absent, failed politicians.
Your reply in Post #10 made me LOL. I was laughing at that line in the article, too. I've always thought those overly-dramatic public displays of affection are for public consumption and not necessarily a reflection of a truly happy couple.
I'm sure this "L.A. psychologist" felt the same way when the Edwards broke up....
Happy Anniversary!!!!
Tipper: "oh al, you care about global warming more than you care about me! Boo hoo"
Al Gore got caught. There are plenty of groupies out there. Get ready for a Tiger Woods type of thing. These wives, like Mrs Edwards and Mrs. Spitzer, hang in there until publicity is about to break.
Poor Tipper indeed.
Al's hot air business made a lot of money, but is about to crash and burn. He just bought a $8 million or so mansion out in California. His political carreer is dead. Have no way of knowing, but it's a thought.
I think he sees Obama crashing and burning and senses an opportunity to set Florida 2K "right", but Tipper wanted absolutely no part of that. Ambition generally wins over love with these folks.
I recall that Tipper gave Al an ultimatum after the 2000 election. Get out of politics, or else. She didn't want him to run in 2000. I think she was just sick of it all and wanted a life.
note there is no mention of love just "loved"
These are political marriages where there is no need for love. they obviously have seperate lives and seperate purposes.
Thanks. Getting away for the week and looking forward to it. No one pretends marriage is easy or not complicated with occasional rough patches, but sticking it out is definitely worth it. We have reared two kids, buried one kid, gone through thick and thin, financially and physically, and we still are each other's best friends. Couldn't imagine life without the guy. (Incidentally, I'm married to an engineer whose highest praise for me is I'm low-maintenance. LOL).
That would be my guess. Tipper got sick of the manbearpig's BS....
What's interesting is seeing the libs go into meltdown over this like they care about anyone's marriage.
Being divorced means you never have to say you're sorry. (sniff sniff)
Tipper is looking at Al's millions which may soon go away when he is brought up on fraud charges for his global warming scams. She wants her share before it's gone.
Maybe Tipper still has a shred of decency and she doesn't want to live with a guy that Tommy Flannagan would call a liar.
Uh...yes. Millions of 'em work just fine.
CBS Decides Al and Tipper's Separation is the Fault of....George W. Bush
I dunno. I figured Big Al had gone so far over the edge with this looney man-made global warming/cooling/climate change/tiny human creatures destroying this large mass of rock that even Tipper couldn't take it.
What little of Inconvenient "truth" I could stand to watch showed him whining about how he lost the election whenever he could insert a non sequitur comment . He groused about the vote count and how he was "several million" times the man Bush is and he should really be our leader.
(calamity avoided)
Personally, I think Tipper has wanted to divorce AlGore for quite a while. She was just waiting until he moved their mailing address to California where the divorce laws were more favorable.
It's hard for me to imagine that anyone in their right mind could consider the Gores an example of a perfect marriage...but clearly there are some liberals out there ...
If they're getting a divorce, can any marriage work ?
As long as you're not married to Al Gore, probably, yes.
This psychlo didn't even realize that it was the result of the Gulf Oil Spill!
And therefore it was Boooosh's fault!!!!

Rescue unit responds to truck fire, rollover
Gothenburg's Volunteer Fire and Rescue Crew was busy June 9 with a truck fire and car roll over.
The crew provided mutual aid for a semi trailer truck fire that shut down I-80 for more than an hour early Sunday morning.
Fire chief Mark Ballmer said the truck fire was about eight miles west of Gothenburg and near the Brady interchange.
Nebraska State Patrol officials said the fire could have been caused by a spark in the brake area.
The driver escaped without injury, officials said.
Ballmer said the department was also called to a one-vehicle rollover about three miles west of Gothenburg on I-80 at 2:30 p.m. on June 9.
Five women, from towns in Nebraska, were taken to Gothenburg Memorial Hospital with non life-threatening injuries and treated and released, he said.
"Seat belts were in use," he said.
Nebraska State Patrol trooper Ken Moody said the driver of the 2005 Chrysler Sebring, 23-year-old Stefani Lloyd of Lincoln, was eastbound.
Lloyd was passing a 2011 Chevy Silverado, driven by 80-year-old Robert Karre of Hayes Center, when she drove onto the left shoulder and started to veer into the median.
Moody said she then over corrected and struck the pickup and rolled twice.
Ballmer said the women involved were sorority sisters returning from a wedding.
Moody said the Sebring was totalled and the pickup had minor damage.

Corporate Advocacy Program™
If you want someone to lie to you and play games. Austin's Affordable autos & Matthew Austin the Criminal is the place for you. I have never experienced salesmen as rude as the ones at Austin's or a manager as creepy as Matt Austin. The manager there will lie to you and then try and scam you. Do not go here to by a car.
One trick they like to do is to get your vehicle registration. Then if you do not buy a car. They attempt to keep it. So you have to return to get it.
Again never go here. Its like buying a car from Satan.
These scammers are writing good reviews about themselves
Their dishonest employees are trying to skew the reviews by writing great reviews about themselves.
This tactic of treating customers like idiots is going to backfire. Customers were not born yesterday and they can see through this bull-crap
I have been to this dealership, and I will never do business with them again. [continued below]....
They must be desperate to write all these good reviews about themselves....
Maybe if they tried a little courtesy and good customer service, all the customers they have p*ssed off may give them a second chance - but Matt Austin the Criminal is too mentally ill to do anything like that.
Dishonest, money grabbing, no customer service
Employees are writing bogus reviews
The vast majority of the 5-star reviews appear to be written by Matt Austin the ex-con and his crew of ex-con employees.
To listen to them you'd think your in a different kind of brothel on drugs not a sh*tty small time car yard with crappy junk cars they are trying to unload.
This is just a taste of the dishonesty you're going to find when you visit this dealership. Good luck. At least one person there can write the most basic english some of the time is the best I can say for these self outing morons.
Completely Fake reviews!!!
First of all I went there just to test drive a potential car, not to buy one. A salesman there who I won't name, because I'm not 100% sure of his name I'm so angry and I don't want to slander the innocent, not because he dont deserve it, was really pushy and rude. He was inexperienced and said he was new, he couldn't answer questions I had about the car I was interested in. He tried to sell me a 3k car for 6k! I can tell you, he wasn't fooling me. I did my research and I knew more about the car than he did which is pretty sad. All these reviews with 5 stars are lies. Don't be fooled.
A very deluded dealership that would write their own crap
Sad, obviously the employees write their own reviews. And you can tell when they rave - normal people don't talk like that! . "Oh so and so was great! So and so gave me a good deal! So and so was very helpful" NO ONE EVER HAS A GREAT EXPERIENCE AT A DEALERSHIP, IT IS NEVER A PLEASANT TIME! Stupid retards!!!!
D" for Dumb, Dishonest Desperate & Dodgy
I would give them stars in hell, or "zero stars" if I could
Who is going to believe 200 "5 star" ratings in the past MONTH!!!! . These are obviously being written by the moron owner Matt Austin Ex Con after his little 3.5 year stint in prison and his ex-con crew he hired when he got out - all the actual sales people who fought his bipolar ranting when he was in Prison threw in the towel when he came back to "run" (into the ground) what was already a failing business - they just sold off the other lot they had and the owners house has been foreclosed on. He's not taking his pills obviously - it would be sad if he wasn't an assh**le on and off them.
Just search in citysearch and you will see "5 star" reviews for ALL their dealerships
Let us be honest here. Car buyers are the most hard to please customers even when the dealer is being very honest and doing everything in their power.
These guys are so dumb that they make their dishonesty stick out like a sore thumb No wonder everyone in Vancouver buys from Portland dealerships. I will never buy anything from these morons and will never ever take a car it for service - if they even still have a service department left. i would rather drive 15 miles and go to a dealer in Portland than to deal with these dishonest morons This dishonest and immensely unpopular dealership is getting desperate, and they have hired a moron in their marketing department. So stupid that they are revealing their own dishonesty
Dishonest and Dumb\
Employees faking it Bad
The vast majority of the 5-star reviews appear to be written by Austin's employees and the Ex-con Manager, Matt Austin.....how amazingly helpful they were... gee, I wonder what's going on!
This is just a taste of the dishonesty you're going to find when you visit this dealership. Good luck.
recently went to Austin's to purchase a used car. I was met with nothing but people trying rip me off. Ive heard horror stories about shady car salesmen, but never have I had the displeasure of experiencing it myself.
I would not recommend to anyone to go to Matthew Austin's Affordable Autos. I don't understand how these people make any money to be honest will never buy a car from Austins Affordable Autos and I will tell everyone I know not to also.
Also reading over these other reviews, I would not doubt it one bit if they were written by Matt Austin or Austins Affordable Autos Employees trying to bring in business. Suspicious to say the least - what do you expect from dumb criminals who think your dumber than they are?
