sussurating?
That's what sprang to mind for me.
Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

[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.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Man, car insurance is so weird. Now that I actually have to get more than just liability coverage, I've checked the rates of most of the top companies, and Geico is by far the cheapest. It beats Progressive and Allstate by $100 and Esurance and 21st Century by $300. For the same coverage! It's so bizarre.

Undulating can apply to sound. Rolling? Rhythmical? Tintinnabulating?

“Not dead yet!”
Undulating can apply to sound.
Yeah? Because that was my first impulse, but I've stared at this damned sentence for so long, I wasn't sure any more.

I think that you also might want to consider your audience when you select your word. I have great love for precision in word choice, but the perfect wprd isn't perfect if your audience doesn't get. Of course, perhaps this is coming to mind because I'd never heard "susserating" before. OTOH, I learned a new word!

I'd be inclined to drop muffled and let crash stand. (Also would note that the sentence isn't complete, which I'm sure you're aware of.)

Check and see how their claims processing goes. Do people have issues with denied claims or are they difficult to contact and get to move? I know I pay a little bit more for Progressive for what is ostensibly the same coverage, but they have a very complete web interface where I can quickly change my coverage, add or remove vehicles, print out new insurance ID cards and everything else I need. For me, this is so totally worth a bit higher premium. Also their claims processing is supposed to be very quick and efficient. Luckily I haven't had to use it yet so I don't know first hand.

I've been with Geico for years and haven't had any trouble.
