I like books. I just don't want to take on too much. Do they have an introduction to the modern blurb?

When my car insurance ends, does the company automatically renew it, or send me a form to renew it, or do I have to call them to tell them I want to renew it? I can't find anything on their website.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Mine automatically re-ups.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

They send me notice via email - I have GEICO.

I've got to renew my car registration, and that form asks for my car insurance number and when it expires, and the insurance expires in August and the insurance company hasn't contacted me about anything.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Mine re-ups automatically (Allstate) but I think that's because I have the payments automatically deducted from my checking account.

Otherwise I never remember to pay it in time.

I've got Progressive, and they'll email me my bill about 6 weeks beforehand, and then send me numerous reminders. If I don't renew by the required date, the policy expires and I have to call them to renew it.

Compassionately intolerant

Ugh. I wish I'd been around to support Zenkitty, but of course Buffista wisdom is awesome.

Learning how to deal with manipulative behavior like that made life a lot easier for me. Rather than trying to figure out if I'd misled the other person, or wondering about their motives, I started focusing on what is right for me. Period.

Discomfort is discomfort, regardless of the intention on either side.

Regardless of whether signals were missed as harmless flirting turned into aggressive behavior, the behavior was inexcusably intrusive on that guy's part.

Not to get too deep into it, but this pushes my 'You can dress however you like' button. It can't be your fault when the other person steps over a line.

I don't care if this guy lives the porn film life where the characteristic boom-chicca-bow-bow soundtrack plays in the background and lonely women invite him to check their 'vents,' He's a professional who is there to do a job.

Please Zen, when you are ready, write to the company. As others said with more eloquence, he should not be putting anyone, much less you, in this position.

Bah!

I've got Liberty Mutual, and I'm not going to be around to get my mail for a few weeks. I've got to submit the forms to renew my car registration within the next few days, I think -- I can't find the form that gives all of that information. I guess I'll call Liberty Mutual about it. I don't like phones.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I don't like phones either, Hil, but this is a phone call time.
