Well, the Geico associated insurance doesn't have anything to help me estimate. It expects me to know already.

So, my dad, under the influence of the local paper and my uncle, has joined the Tea Party. I told him they were extremists not living in a fact-based reality, and left it at that.

Oh, politics. Everywhere I turn, you make me HULK SMASH.

To misquote Jon Stewart: is he disappointed we still have traffic lights?

More seriously: I'm sorry, that has to suck. I discovered one of my old high school pals quoting Michele Bachmann favorably on FB a few weeks ago, and remembered why I disliked FB so much.

That's remarkably civil of you, shrift.

Is it fair to think that half of the worth of my apartment is electronics? I really don't know how to estimate clothes and I forget the kitchen and the furniture...

How come they have an "extra silverware" option on the policy and not "extra electronics"?

That was pretty civil, shrift. I'm impressed.

Hey, because you people know these kinds of things, has anyone ever run across Beastie Boys slash?

I come here because you all don't judge.

So, I'm driving around, listening to the local radio, and they have "Erotic City" on. I was puzzled because that is not a radio-friendly song, certainly not at noon.

They masked out all the dirty bits, so it was literally: "we can BLANK until the dawn" etc. etc. Very weird.

This is not amenable to bleeping/editing, unlike "Dirty Motherfucker" where the bleeping actually contributes to my enjoyment of the song.

I do not judge, Allyson. But I have no recs.

Noodle has just hunted a pink and white striped sock. She gets such a distinctive mrowr sound when she presents her prize. Silly kitty.

Silly, perhaps. At least she isn't presenting you with a "kill" that, well, she HAS killed.

edited to make sense

I got renter's insurance when I realized how much all the medical equipment costs. Then there's the computers. Then all the rest. And considering too many people know Hubby is disabled and in pain and can conclude that there may be valuable pain pills in the house--which there are--someone stupid could try someone stupid (and then possibly meet up with one of the several weapons in the house, as well). I wonder if renter's insurance would pay for replacing the carpet after dealing with an intruder.

As an indoor cat, I really hope she never finds something that needs killing. She just presented one of CJ's socks. Now I'm waiting for her to find one of mine. Geeeesh.

I need to check on my renters insurance also.
