Sean,

  It's the waiting that's a killer.

  Unless they're on a contingency plan, and they lose the case. There
are a ton of ads for "disability lawyers".

  That's the best place to shop for those on a budget. It reminds me of
the joke where this woman is in Macy's (the Thanksgiving Day Parade
sponsors), looking at the jewelery case. As she bends over to look at
a nice piece of jewelery, she farts. :P

  She is horrified when she looks around, and sees a young male salesman,
asking if he can help her find something.

  Hoping he didn't notice her "oops moment", she asked about the piece
of jewelery she had been looking at.

  To her horror, he replies "Ma'am, if you pooted just looking at it,
you're going to [poop] when I tell you the price!!".

  I guess I'm shopping at Dollar General. <G>

  Janice and I got lucky when we got our wedding rings. A local K-Mart
was going out of business. They were originally almost $200...we got
them for $25. :)

  Even back then, my late father taught me to be "a frugal cheapskate".
Nowadays, Jack Benny would be proud. <G>
