I guess most of you insured for much lower than $25,000?
I'm insured for around $25k. I believe I pay about $130 a year. It really depends on where you live and what the insurers think a) the risks are and b) they can get away with charging you.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
because of earthquake risk.
I would not assume that this is the reason the premium is higher. Or rather, it may be, but I wouldn't assume renter's insurance covers earthquakes unless it is specified. Homeowner's insurance doesn't cover earthquake, you need separate earthquake insurance for that. Just like you need separate flood insurance. In general, I tend to assume that if the insurers have deemed it a necessity, they will usually exclude it and ask you to pay extra for it.

Oh, Sparky, that sucks. I had forgotten about the pregnancy rhinitis (obviously blocked it right out because it was such a misery).
On the plus side, it was one of the very first symptoms to go away after delivery for me. I remember sitting in my hospital bed a few hours after Lillian's birth and thinking, "Huh. I haven't had to grab a tissue to stem the leaks from my nose in HOURS! Cool!"

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Ooh, Sparky. You got to be the Heel of Karma. Feels so good--well, when you were right and didn't get listened to.

I can't brane today. I'm having family over on Saturday and making baked ziti, but I need ideas for side dishes. Any ideas?

Sauteed broccoli rabe. A nice salad. Some kind of greens anyway.

TCG's step-mom is making a salad. I think only one or two people coming eat rabe or know what it is. Maybe spinach? They didn't eat green beans last time I made them.

Well then it's something new for them to learn! I have no tolerance for picky eaters. As long as you are willing to eat the leftovers.

Just some bread and you'll be fine. Baked ziti is a meal.
