Free Legal Advice, Free Insurance Advice, Free Senior Care Advice: FreeAdvice.com<\/strong><\/span><\/h1>\n

First of all, this article is over 1200 words long (1214 to be exact). And I know that you’re thinking that it’s mostly just me yammering on and on as usual… but NO! NO! NO! I tells ya! Our ramblings account for less than a paltry 450 words of the total verbiage of this dandy work of art.<\/span><\/p>\n

I admit, rarely do I find anyone, who can claim to be my equal when it comes to yammering on and on. But ladies and gentlemen, I’ve met my match! I’ve finally found someone who can yammer on and on better than I can – and wouldn’t you know – it’s a bunch of lawyers! (EB. Is it a bunch of lawyers, a pack of lawyers, a flock of lawyers, or a group of lawyers?) But there’s a lot more here than babble. Much like our newsletters and posts, there’s gold in those kinds of babbles.<\/span><\/p>\n

Unfortunately, most of us mortals need medical or legal advice during the course of our lives. And when we do, we’re exposed to another world of people who exist on different planes than the rest of us.\u00a0 They think they live on a higher plane, but that’s up for debate. Anyway… they are called “doctors” and “lawyers”. They look down upon us. The look down their noses at us, the poor, huddled masses, with pity or scorn and often greed– and sometimes all of the aforementioned.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We are the huddled masses, right?<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

There is one rule to follow when it comes to doctors and lawyers: Never ask either of them for free advice. That usually results in a severe look of disdain from the doctor or lawyer, a huge chortle from anyone who overhears you asking, and most likely, a bill for $1197.16 in your mailbox a few days later. Did you know that anything over 1.25 minutes = 1 billable hour for an attorney?\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Digging around for something free to feature, I’ve found a place where you can actually get free advice, without the looks of disgust and disdain, without the humiliating chortles, and without a huge bill in your mailbox. It’s called “FreeAdvice.com”. FreeAdvice.com offers free legal advice, insurance advice and Senior Care Advice. The latter being an entire section devoted to seniors like EB and me and some of you!<\/span><\/p>\n

Yay! for being old!<\/span><\/p>\n

Anyway, here’s what the developers say about themselves (you might want to grab a cup of coffee or a cold one because these folks are anything but taciturn):<\/span><\/p>\n
