Spike's Bitches 21 Gunn Salute  

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Sure I went over to the Dark Side, but just to pick up a few things.

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.)

Progressive is one of the companies with a year cutoff for cars.

What is even happening?

tommyrot, if you knew Frank, like I know Frank...

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."
Y'all are pushing my silly button, this morning. Or maybe it's the combination of bleach plus tiredness. I had full care, feeding, packing-up and getting-to-school duties this morning, because Scott had to leave at 6:30. By 9:30, I had sorted 6 loads of laundry, folded one, put one in the washer, and one in the dryer, emptied and partially refilled the dishwasher, made all the beds, showered, set my hair (yes, set, because I haven't had my haircut yet, and that's the only way I can make it look half-assed decent), bleached my kitchen sink and counters, and considered dusting (just considered).

Now I am packing up Julia for a before school playdate. She now attends in the afternoon, and her friend called up to see if she could come play and have lunch over there, before school.

I want a nap.

We have Geico. It's real full name is Government Employee Insurance Company. Greg gets a discount. We've submitted two claims in two years. Last year and the year before, Greg got into fender benders where he was at fault. The insurance only went up with the second one, and with both of us insured, full coverage because we're still paying for the car, it's not that bad; not quite $700 a year, I think, though where you live has something to do with the rates too.

Timelies. Everyone's sick with some head bug. Despite being sick the babies are not being horrible. I think something's wrong with them.

Also, Polter, since you're a young, unmarried male, most insurance companies will think you've got dreams of being Dale Earnhart reborn and insure you accordingly. I'm not sure where the age cut-off is on that, 18 or 20, between when they figure you've learned you can die and start driving accordingly.

MA doesn't carry Geico (or Progressive I think).

Heh. that age is actually 25.

But you can counteract it a bit by being a student with good grades.

Where you live has a lot to do with how much you pay in car insurance. I pay a fortune, because Louisiana has no regulation. I had State Farm for years in California, but had to swirtch to a Louisiana office when I moved here, who hiked up my premiums and dropped me after I was in one accident (the first accident I was ever in). We have Progressive, now, and pay a couple hundred a month for the privilege - admittedly for full coverage on one relatively new car that isn't paid for, yet, and the minimum on a slightly older one.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Heh. that age is actually 25.

I think it varies by company.

GEICO has been good to me. Other insurance companies have required me to send them photos of the old car I wanted to insure, or even have it inspected. GEICO didn't require anything like that for my '73 Mercury.
