We are about to start completely decluttering as well and I'm not looking forward to the process (thought I'm really looking forward to the results).
Same here. We got into this weird thing with the new place where a few months after we moved in, we found out the owner was selling, so we didn't know if we'd be able to renew the lease. That effectively ended any desire I had to unpack the rest of the boxes in the garage and the basement. Turned out we were able to stay another year after all, and now I need to find the box or two with all the Official Important Documents, such as my birth certificate (need a new passport!) and a contract whose terms I need to review in the next month or two.
Assuming the inheritance comes through (if the good Lord's willing and the creek don't rise and all that), next time we'll move it'll be into a house we've just bought, which feels like a good reason to actually weed all the crap instead of just leaving it in boxes. And, you know, I really need that birth certificate and that contract sooner rather than later. But my initial goal is to just get the house more or less clean, and THEN deal with all the boxes...
Okay, so I'm reviewing the insurance documents for my business since it's time to renew policies and I'm actually changing to a new policy since my old business insurance quit covering my type of work. Anyway, one of the new pieces is a form on whether or nor I want terrorism insurance. You have GOT to be kidding me. Part of me doesn't want to do it since it's an additional $100 on the premium, but I also can forsee it being used as a way to refuse coverage. Gah!
I wonder how they're defining terrorism--does it cover any civil disturbance, such as a crowd getting rowdy at a show?
They define terrorism coverage as kicking in for losses resulting from certified acts of terrorism. I'm not sure what that means.

Wow.

It means the government issues them a shiny laminated certificate with an official gold seal.
Do they cover pirates hitting cruise ships?

Well apparently the policy does not provide coverage for acts of terrorism that are not certified by the secretary of the treasury.
not certified by the secretary of the treasury
I wonder why he gets to decide, rather than the secretary of state or defense.
The...treasury? Because they are the arbiters of what constitutes terrorism?

Terrorism = bad things happen to money.
