She find out someone is following her, she went to court once and they told the judge what they had found, which was nothing really. They wanted to settle with her, but because she does not know what the state of her shoulder is in now and in the future her lawyer ( YES SHE HAS ONE) advised her to visit the doctor again next month on her appt date before the accept or go to court. Anyway today she went to her boyfriend realestate/tax office to help him answer some phones, which she does sometimes. She has been released by doctors to do 8hour sedentary work and answer phones, her previous employer however has not found a job for her. She is usually an LPN. A man who did not introduce himself walked in to the office and asked one of the men there question about her, he was rather disheveled and actually made a pretty gross mess in the bathroom and the bathroom floor while there. After asking my mother and her boyfriend some strange questions he finally left. He then passed the office a couple more times and sat on a road watching the office. They tried to find him in the car but the windows were too tinted to see him there but after about 2 minutes the car was gone.

Because my mother has a lawyer was it against the law to approach my mother and ask her questions, posing as someone who wanted to buy a house and have his taxes lowered.

sorry this is so long I just can’t find much on the laws for PI’s and comp laws.
She did contact her lawyer he seemed unconcerned, which worries me. Also she was afraid that it was some nut following her. Especially because of the mess he made in the bathroom and the intense interest he had in her.
Why shouldn’t she be "working" she is not getting paid and she is able according to her doctor to sit for 8 hours and answer phone? So if she’s cleared to do that why couldn’t she do it there if she could do it at her normal place of employment if they would have found a position for her?

My dad used to moonlight as a work comp investigator. Yes they can follow you around and photograph you when you are out in public. They can even talk to you.

If your mother is on work comp the insurance company is paying her to rest up or go to therapy. NOT to do volunteer work, regardless of whether she could do it at her job or not. She can sit on her front porch and talk on the phone all day. She cannot play receptionist in a business.

She could easily lose her WC benefits AND her job

My cat says "Hello" And "Mom" and "Wow"
My dad’s dog says "I luv you!!!"
So a duck could inturns say "Thanks Fat Head." and not know that he said that. I can easily picture it, "Quaakss, Quack, Quaack". Seriously, It is entirly possibly.

Now if you start hearing voices telling you to kill someone then you need to go see a shrink. Outside of that, you seem to be fine.

thanks ahead
She does have some equity in the home, but with the market now, no-one is buying, at her asking price now she will only come out with 25,000.00 after realestate fees and payoff. she would like to use this money to get started somewhere else with less of a monthly payment. if she short sales or gives back to the bank she will have no money to get started somehwere else and with bad credit on top of that… what to do?

That would depend on how much equity they have in their home. If there home is appraised at a lot more than the loan balance, try to sell it. That way, your friend might at least make a profit from it. They did pay money into it. It’s only fair that they get something out of it. If however they lost value on it since purchasing, they might want to go with the bank’s idea. But, whatever you do with the bank, get it in writing. Just because it doesn’t show up as a foreclosure doesn’t mean it can’t show up as a deficient account and turn into a collection account.

NAFS: “ O my master, what can I do for you”?

Nadeem: “Well, can you get me a beautiful girl whom I can marry?”

NAFS: “ Yes Master! As you say”

Within a blink of the eye, the NAFS is present with a beautiful fair girl with lovely wide eyes who is dressed in a bridal outfit.

Nadeem: “ Wow! She is so beautiful.”

Nadeem asks the girl her name. The Girl identifies herself.

The girl: “ My name is Dream”

Nadeem: “ Where do you hail from?"

Dream: “ I live in your subconscious. I can visit you only when you are asleep”

Nadeem: “ You mean I can never get to marry you in reality?”

Dream: “ No.”

Nadeem: “ O NAFS why the hell have you brought this girl who does not exist in reality?”

NAFS: “ Because Master, she is the most beautiful girl according to you and as she said, she lives in your subconscious. Well you can enjoy being with her as long as you are asleep. The same with me, I shall vanish as soon as you wake up.”

Nadeem: “ Then how can I get nearer to her in reality?”

NAFS: “ Well, it is possible only in one situation, I can put her inside the body of Nazia whom you and your parents rejected this evening”

Nadeem: “ But Nazia is dark and Dream is exactly the opposite of her in appearance”

NAFS: “ But at least you alone would be knowing that inside Nazia exists your Dream.”

Nadeem: “ Well but Nazia is not the delight of my eyes and not only that, others will laugh at me for marrying Nazia”

NAFS: “ Well, then the world you live in is really ridiculous because they want to run away from realties. We here who live in your dreams know that Materialistic Perfection does not exist in the real world that you live in.”

At this point Nadeem wakes up from his sleep and just ponders over his dream. He takes a decision there and there that he would marry Nazia and he conveys this to his parents who somehow are convinced by Nadeem but they are as astonished as to what changed his decisions overnight.

Nadeem: “ Well Mom and Dad, there is nothing like perfect beauty. Contentment is what truly makes everything look beautiful”

What views would you like to share on this ? Do you agree with what Nadeem concluded ?

beautiful story ,, what concluded was very true !! i too agree with him , we live in a world with no value for inner beauty ,, only go for external illusion
