Buffy ,'Get It Done'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
spent 1.5 hours on the phone with my insurance company where it looks like I have to pay for everything but the actual repair up front because "we don't have any contracts with body shops/rental car companies in Puerto Rico."
do you have USAA? they're usually pretty good about things like that.
That's so bizarre. It's not like it's the at the ends of the earth.
I just keep pressing "0" until I talk to a person. I refuse to interact with them at all.
Vortex is me.
do you have USAA?
Actually, yes. I can't imagine how hard this would be with some other insurance company. Basically, they have all this great service that just doens't apply here because the laws are so different.

Many companies will not ship here. I'm not exactly sure why, but I *think* it's because they can't get it included in their bulk rate that they pay to UPS/FedEx/whatever.
I think a lot of my frustration has to do with expectations. If I was living in a foreign country, I wouldn't expect stuff to be the same, but this is a US territory, so it seems to me that it should be like the US.

oh, that's really frustrating. I mean, that's why military people have USAA, so they don't have to deal with this kind of bullshit. I would escalate.
Stephanie, there's companies that won't ship to PR? You just can't buy stuff from them? Jeez. That's so un-capitalist.

Well, when I was getting ready to mail you the backpack, I compared UPS and USPS. USPS was $18 for Priority, UPS was $174 for "gets there whenever."
On my neighbor, I wasn't clear - I know he takes the dog to daycare. I guess I'm relieved that he doesn't do the repetition with the dog in the car, but I was wondering if that was part of the disorder.
And he's not annoying (now that R is aware that the beeping isn't our smoke detectors or something), but Mal loves his dog and so we interact a lot, and I don't want to say or do something offensive or upsetting.
I was also wondering if it might be motor-control difficulties - he could get the SUV into the garage, but it would be tight. That, and the lack of stuff in his house, made me think he might be keeping it tidy against clumsiness.
hooray - the woman who works with me is on board with the 'keep sox in the loop' plan. t hopeful
Stephanie - if they ship to Alaska and Hawaii, shouldn't they ship to PR?
(I can't believe it's a protectorate vs. state thing)
This just in: I am kinda awesome.
Substitute "totally" for "kinda" and I concur.
juliana, I'm so sorry about your bike! I have a whole thing about people who don't treat bikes with the same respect and caution they would cars. Not that I know that's what the person who hit you did. It's just knee-jerk on my part.
Lastly, ((((buffistas)))). I skipped and skimmed when I got back from Houston, so I don't know what's going on with who, but you're all in my thoughts.
