Progressive is offering me the cheapest quote, but they're underwritten by Homesite, and I'm seeing a lot of complaints about them.

Why is being an adult so difficult?

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Because if it were easy kids would do it.

I've had Progressive for my auto insurance for several years and did have their renters insurance last year until it lapsed and I didn't bother renewing it. I probably should contact them and get myself insured again.

you and I must make a pact

stuck in my head b/c of this story..

A family that adopted an older boy (I think a 10 yo) from Ethiopia is traveling back in a few months to get an 11 yo. The boys were in the same orphanage (not the orphanage mac was in, one run by Ethiopian nuns that my agency works with to place older kids) and were best friends. The boys made a pact that if one was adopted and if he felt that the family was a good family, he would try to convince them to go adopt the other one. Almost a year has gone by and the adopted boy only recently told his family about the pact, he has deemed them a good family.

You know what freaks me out? Trusting the mortgage holder to pay my insurance and taxes. It unnerves me to get bills that I am to ignore.

msbelle, that's an incredible story.

Oh my god. That's so incredible!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Okay, so maybe the Calvin and Hobbes fic didn't make me cry, but the adoption story is making me tear up.
