SA, you mean in F suite?

Yep. Gotta deal with beauracrazy tomorrow. Sigh.

Hey, at least they let you into your real room, with actual bedding and your actual stuff.

I was the one asking about insurance companies. My car insurance is through Geico--did you know a lot of insurance companies won't insure a car as old as mine?--and Geico goes to a third party for renters insurance, at least in Utah. I checked their online quote for $20,000 property and $20,000 liability, and they want $300 a year. I think I'll check around. I don't think State Farm works in Utah, but I'll check.

My car insurance is through Geico

How are they? I always say when I get a car, I'll get Geico cause I love their commercials so much.

SA, I wish you bureaucracy-ma. College housing sucks.

ChiKat, that does sound odd -- and yes, it does sound like she might be pregnant. Eek, for the kids' sake.

I have inherited from my parents a love of grasshoppers, which are made from green Creme de Menthe, white Creme de Cocoa and ice cream.

This allows me to tell my favorite joke ever, which is like so:

A grasshopper walks into a bar. The bartender says, "We have a drink named after you." Grasshopper looks confused and says, "You have a drink named Frank?"

Ba-dum-bump.

Yay, askye! Great news. I hope the price doesn't shoot up.

Nora, I am so sorry about your acquaintance and especially the girlfriend he leaves behind. Such a terrible experience.

I had renter's insurance in the very first aparmtnet I lived in, but haven't since becaus ethat $100 a year was a lot of money for me for much of my adult life. I should look into it now that I have actual stuff. Right now we're covered by our landlord's homeowner's insurance, but I expect to move this summer.

(edited to fix formatting and to add: ChiKat, that's freaky. I hope it somehow turns ot to be all right.)

Hee!

It's even funnier if you know Frank.

Oh, yes, I meant to say this. Nora, I'm sorry for the loss.

I've never needed to make a claim, but their prices aren't too horrible, I guess, and I can pay online. The biggest thing was that they didn't quibble about insuring someone without insurance history--lots of companies find it very suspicious if you tell them you haven't had a car in ten years--plus they were one of the few companies who would insure a car from 1979 without trying to do some sort of "So, it's a classic car then?" No, dude, it's a battered Mustang II that lives on life support and donor parts. Though a surprising number of people still look at that rusty, dented piece of loyal steel and say, "Wow. You drive a Mustang."

If I could truly afford it, I'd restore it up to specs. It's been a real trooper. I call it Steve, after Steve Austen. "We can rebuild him. We have the technology."

You don't have to provide receipts of the original things, I think, if it's just common stuff.

I wouldn’t keep the receipts on the everyday stuff. I would probably write up a list of what you own, approximate cost and take pictures of things that have sentimental or high value.

Congrats P-C! See, this science writing is starting to pay off. You might even have to beat off the hoards with a stick.

Congrats on your house askye!

These are specialty ice creams I've seen at places like Amy's. There's a little asterisk for "contains alcohol." I assume this means there is actual alcohol in them, or else there'd be no need to say so. Though maybe it is just flavor:

Don’t the little bottle of pure vanilla have this warning too?

I always say when I get a car, I'll get Geico cause I love their commercials so much.

That’s just…wrong. I can't exactly figure out how to say it right now, though. But, wrong. (I have Progressive for car insurance and State Farm for renter’s insurance.)
