Martin Lewis & Steven Jurnovoy are here to help.
Four convenient locations throughout the gulf coast region and just a phone call away.
BEING CALLED DAY & NIGHT BY DEBT COLLECTORS?
The Bankruptcy Hour April 23rd at 7:00 p.m.
Martin Lewis and Steven Jurnovoy joined as partners in 1998 to create the law firm of Lewis & Jurnovoy, P.A. The primary emphasis of the law firm is in the representation of individuals and sole proprietors in Chapter 13 Bankruptcy (“Debt Consolidation”) and Chapter 7 Straight Bankruptcy. Due to the financial turmoil that many individuals seem to be going through in their daily life in trying to pay bills each month and in trying to protect their assets, this law firm envisioned the need to represent and inform the general public of options available to persons in financial distress.
“Martin Lewis did an amazing job. He was very easy to work with and always made me feel at ease. He worked with me financially so I never felt pressured. The process in its entirety was simple and fairly stress free. His office staff was kind and helpful as well. ” -Tami M.
“This firm and all of their staff, especially Tracy Taylor, were extremely knowledgeable about even the most technical aspects of the law and all issues that came up during the process. They were always accessible and their responses expedient.” -S.B.

Occassionally when I get some free time, I'll do a bit of research and give some interesting - read, useless - facts about Purdue and what's going on.
Middle Tenn State: These two teams have never met. MTS opened against Minnesota last year and lost. MTS has played against Minny, Illinois (Twice), and Nebraska and has never beaten a B1G team yet.
@Rice: The last time these two teams played was 1998. We have met a total of 3 times (Two Home, One Away). Rice won in Ross Ade in the first meeting - 1934. Purdue won in 1958 and 1998.
Southeast Missouri State: In 2009 they opened the season by holding their opponent to a field goal while hanging up 72 points of their own. The next week they were held to three points and Cincinnati put up 70. Video game scores over here man!
Notre Dame: Notre Dame has a 64% of winning when the enter West Lafayette.

Everyone likes to be liked. This is a simple, human truth: As mammals, we are driven by a desire to bond with others, feel accepted, and be acknowledged for a job well done. In fact, research from the University of Iowa shows that feeling accepted is more motivating than even financial incentives and improves our productivity and performance. But there’s a difference between wanting and needing others’ approval.
If, for example, you find yourself obsessing over the number of “likes” you get on social media or forever waiting for your supervisor or coworkers to notice that you’ve done something well, you might be caught in a toxic cycle of approval addiction.
Approval addiction is a constant need for acceptance and approval that drives your daily actions to the detriment of your own needs, says Lynn Taylor, author of Tame Your Terrible Office Tyrant: How to Manage Childish Boss Behavior & Thrive in Your Job.
Approval addicts usually wind up worn out and disappointed, adds psychologist Linda Sapadin, author of Master Your Fears: How to Triumph Over Your Worries and Get On With Your Life. They spend so much energy seeking positive feedback that they have less energy to take care of themselves or work toward their meaningful goals. And, Taylor says, constantly seeking approval can cause people to become workaholics, suffer health problems, and make choices that result in less-than-ideal consequences.
The first step is to build awareness and adjust your priorities accordingly. To begin, ask yourself some tough questions. What are your primary goals? What do you want to do? Then evaluate how you spend your time: Are you neglecting your dreams by doing too much for others? With this awareness, you can deliberately choose activities that support your own needs, Taylor says, and step out of the people-pleasing cycle.
Use the insights gleaned from your personal audit to establish some ground rules and boundaries for yourself. Spend more time on the things that leave you feeling positive and focused on your dreams, needs, and values. Say “yes” to the tasks and activities that align with those goals—and don’t be afraid to say, “No, but thanks for thinking of me,” to those that don’t, Sapadin adds. These guidelines will help you manage your time and energy in a way that leaves plenty left over to help others if you choose.
“If your objective is to set your own standards and appreciate your accomplishments and self-worth, you can be 100 percent successful,” Sapadin says. “You can set realistic goals and monitor them based on your own criteria.” And that goes a long way to building not only a sense of self-worth, but a sense of self-efficacy (the belief that you are capable of solving a task or problem), resilience, and even purpose. You can have that right now—and you don’t need anyone’s approval to get it.

“So, did the cleaning lady come?” I asked him.
A cleaning lady refused to clean my house! (So, it is true. You really do have to clean your house before the cleaning lady arrives.) I would have happily paid her $100 for four hours worth of work, but she rejected me and my money. Furthermore, she cost herself a customer because I will never again call her and offer her work.
I am mortified and mystified that my kitchen and bathroom were deemed too big of a job for one person to handle in four hours.
That’s nutty! I could clean my whole house in four hours if I really put my mind to it–BY MYSELF! Sheesh…sounds like you found a cleaning lady that’s SPOILED!
I wonder what her house looks like – my aunt was a cleaning lady, and although her clients’ homes were spotless, hers has always been in a bit of chaos.
Most of the cleaning people around here require this same “first time” fee. Our house was, quite literally, brand new when we hired a cleaning lady. It had been built just two weeks before we moved in. Still, nearly everyone we interviewed also wanted a first clean fee….If you have the time to look around, you can probably find someone who won’t charge it. We eventually did, though ours really, geuinely didn’t require it.
you are too funny! and while i realize that children totally send our lives into disarray, i also know you…neat as a pin.
i am so sure she couldn’t clean your kitchen and bathroom! ridiculous lady!
I just hired a cleaning lady and your story was my worst fear. So, before she came by to give us an estimate, I felt like I had to CLEAN my house for the cleaning lady. How warped is that?
Ours did charge us about $30 more for the first visit, where they do a deep clean. I can understand that though as things like my windows and blinds have rarely been cleaned and I won’t even go into my lighting fixtures. When you don’t have a maid there are just things you don’t find time to do (at least I don’t).
It sounds like this maid might have been a little high-maintenance though. Maybe you can find another who isn’t so picky. When I walked around with my new one and told her I’d make sure the kids toys were picked up, she kind of chuckled like she was thinking that’s not necessary…so who knows what they expect really!
I’ve never heard of such a thing. And no way would I ever consider seeing how much it would be to clean MY house! Yikes!
wow… that is super lame!
Remind me never to hire a cleaning lady!
I clean houses for a living. I do not charge extra the first time I go. It is easier and I get it done faster if people just pick up any clutter that may be around. Since I don’t live there, i would not know where it goes to put it away. That is the only thing I like people to do before I clean, otherwise they are doing my job, and what is the point? I usually clean 2 bathrooms, kitchen, family room, dining room, bedrooms in three or four hours. Three hours, I charge 50.00, 4 hours is 70.00. I do extra stuff all the time, like windows, blinds, I have cleaned basements, moved furniture, power washed outside patios, you name it. LOL I have loyal customers, and I am good to them back.
People are LAZY. They want something for nothing. I used to clean houses for a living. I enjoyed it most of the time. $100 for cleaning a kitchen, dining room and what did you say, a bathroom? I can’t remember. I could have cleaned your whole home for $100 and four hours, give or take a few minutes. People really are lazy I tell you.
And whoever said that her aunt cleaned houses and hers was a wreck – I knew a girl like that. She was a sloppy cleaner too. I on the other hand had a neat and tidy home until I had baby number 3. And it goes downhill from there on many a day now.
OMG! I could get my daughter to clean it for less.
I hate cleaning ladies. There is no end to the trouble they have caused me. Go Mel! Good job for cleaning your own stuff.
egads! One would have thought she could have at least TRIED!
I’m hoping Karen (above) lives in Oklahoma City. I could use her!
I want someone to pick up the clutter.
That doesn’t take much time at all.
Oh, why do I love clutter so much?
That seems like a mighty high hourly rate for a cleaning lady. Mine charges $13/hour. Two of them come and clean my large house with 4 bathrooms in 2 1/2 hours. $65 for clean house. Best investment ever made.
I’m with Judy…I love clutter too much, too, tho it drives me crazy. I once was a cleaning lady, when my kids were little and in school. I cleaned the houses of several people in my church whenever I was needed…part-time and not every week, but the extra $50 came in handy when it was time to buy shoes for the kids or whatever. Boy, even without ‘snooping’, it’s amazing what you learn about other people’s lives. But one thing I was was discreet and I never talked about anything I saw or learned in anyone’s home. People trusted me, and word-of-mouth kept me busy. I cleaned houses without a speck of dust in them…I cleaned absolute MESSES! All in a day’s work. Back then, we ladies charged $10 per hour…I can’t imagine what the going rate is now.
A cleaning lady who wouldn’t clean? she’s in the wrong business! I have a great cleaning lady, she comes every 3 weeks. She’s reasonable, she’s good and trustworthy. The good ones ARE out there.
I’m Lisa, btw, I found my way over from Kellans.
Keep looking- not all cleaning ladies are this way. My mom cleans houses and has a very loyal customer base, they actually do what they can just to keep her. She is purely word of mouth and has more people calling than she can keep up with. She will do a first time walk through and discuss what they want done, what she can get done in that time and a set amount and what day works. She requires them to declutter and be out of the house when she comes- people get in the way and slow her down. Most people like this because it helps keep them organized and not fall behind week to week. She is efficient, picky and knows her stuff. She will tell people what kind of cleaning supplies work best, they purchase that kind. She has even been asked to pick out someones new vacuum- she likes that because she’s used so many different ones that she knows which work best and which have no suction…..anyways, hope your search goes better.
Karen, would you consider relocating to Nebraska? lol My house is a disaster. Between having a chronic illness and a full time job – my house is a disaster. I feel like I can’t afford a cleaning lady. Besides the clutter in place would choke a horse!
LOL I have helped pick out one of my customers new vacuums as well. Somebody mentoned nobody would to clean their house because it was an older farm house, yesterday I cleaned a farm house that is close to 100 years old. They have three dogs running around. LOL They are good people and I love cleaning for them. Good cleaning help is hard to find, but we are out there! I have become friends with all of the people I clean for. Also Mel, I cannot imagine walking into somebody’s house and not even attempting to clean it. That is rude, and very unprofessional. She could have at least tried to do as much as she could in that time period. Sorry you had such a bad experience.

WATERLOO, Iowa – The VGM Group has pulled together suggested talking points for providers who plan to comment on CMS’s proposal to include vents in its next round of competitive bidding.
“There are major concerns with life-sustaining equipment such as ventilators being restricted to contracted suppliers given the instability that the program has caused within the DMEPOS industry,” VGM stated in a bulletin.
CMS has proposed adding the following codes to the program: E0465 (invasive), E0466 (non-invasive) and E0467 (multi-functioning). The agency expects to roll out the next round of the program in 2021, after a two-year gap period.
VGM encourages providers to use real examples in their comments.
“Providing real examples of patients who suppliers serve can effectively demonstrate the need to keep this product category out of the competitive bidding program,” VGM stated.
• This market serves a highly vulnerable patient population with life-sustaining equipment.
• Vent patients require highly skilled respiratory therapists beyond the average oxygen patient.
• Ventilation is a small market with few suppliers in certain areas having proper resources.
• The negative impacts from competitive bidding on the DME community should not be replicated to life-sustaining equipment such as vents.
CMS will accept comments on its proposal until Dec. 3. Send comments to [email protected]. | 2019-04-21 06:24:45 | http://hmenews.com/article/vgm-provides-talking-points-vent-proposal |
Our consultation on draft standards and service specifications closed on Monday 8 December, and we’ve received more than 500 responses, which are currently being analysed. We will say more about the next steps, and likely timetable, in the new year. Thank you to everyone who has responded.
The next meeting of our Patients and Public engagement and advisory group is scheduled for 14 January.
If you’ve followed the blog you will know all about the children and young people’s events we ran over the Easter holidays, and our session with local government and Healthwatch in Birmingham. However I have not previously provided a link to the write-up of these events, so if you’d like to know more about what was discussed, please see our ‘Meetings’ page for further information.
The next meeting of our Clinicians’ engagement & advisory group is scheduled for 4 February.
The next meeting of our Providers’ engagement and advisory group is scheduled for 3 February.
Colleagues from across NHS England have continued to attend meetings with local government. We do not have a complete list of every formal or informal discussion; for your information, Felicity Cox, our Area Director for Wessex, attended the Health Overview & Scrutiny Panel, Portsmouth City Council, on 4 November.
Meetings of the review’s Board Task & Finish group and Programme Board were held on 24 November and 4 December respectively. The meetings looked at the next steps in the process, potential handover to NHS England’s new specialised commissioning team, and commissioning issues. Minutes of the Programme Board will be published as soon as they are available. Previous Programme Board minutes can be found on the ‘Programme Board’ page.
The next meeting of our Programme Board is scheduled for 13th January.
The Task & Finish Group has provided a routine update to NHS England’s main Board for its meeting held in public on 17 December in London. You can read the Board paper here.
The consultation on draft standards tends to dominate the headlines, but work has continued on the review’s other objectives. Objective 5 aims to establish a system for the provision of information about the performance of CHD services, to help patients make informed choices and to give valuable feedback to NHS England as the commissioner of the service. We have visited a number of hospitals in order to understand the current information they are providing and what further information could be used. We are also meeting members of our Patient and Public engagement and advisory group to identify what further information they would find helpful. We have been looking at a number of different issues including activity, cost, and various outcomes such as mortality and patient experience. The discussions to-date have highlighted important areas of information which could be developed. Following these initial meetings a report will be produced explaining what we have heard and how we propose to progress the work.
As we move into 2015 I’d like to express my thanks on behalf of the team to all of you who have continued to contribute in so many ways over the past year. Your support, challenge, expert input and constructive criticism have been invaluable.
Have a happy new year, and stay warm! | 2019-04-20 10:34:33 | https://www.england.nhs.uk/blog/john-holden-36/ |
