Aims, what's the difference in cost between full coverage and the state minimum, that's the real tell.

[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.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Drop it, Aims. You could put the difference aside in a rainy day fund if you want to, but between the upfront cost and the deductible? Probably not worth it. (Not to mention that what the insurance company feels is replacement value may not equal your estimate of replacement value.)

Now tagless for your comfort.
Definitely drop full coverage, Aims. If the van were valued higher, I'd wait but once it's paid off, your money is best spent elsewhere.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Calli, that's great. We missed you at walk/beer/walk last night!
Especially given that I kind of have the urge to get a Hallmark musical card playing "Time in a Bottle", along with a decorative bottle, fill it with cat pee, and send both to D, anonymously, on smonster's behalf.
I have the BEST FRIENDS. I haven't responded to him yet, and probably won't, but if anyone has the perfect response I'd love to hear it.

Our wings are not tired.
I'd drop the coverage, Aims. I don't have full coverage on any of mine. But that could be my personal anti giving any of my money to insurance companies bias.

I missed you guys, too, smonster! Next week I'll definitely have it in my calendar in indelible ink.
I have full coverage on my paid-off car, but only because I was able to pay it off relatively early. It's a Honda, and it's still under warranty, so it would be worth the bother to get it repaired if it was not quite totaled in an accident. When the warranty goes I'll probably reassess the insurance.

Do you have to keep the lines of communication open with D? I'm pretty sure that nothing you can say will cause him to see what an utter butt-dumpling jackhole he is acting like. So maybe the wisest course would be to not respond at all, ever. However, a less unhygienic gesture than my previous offering would be to return the fancy box with a note suggesting he sell it and use the proceeds to buy some lessons in manners. Don't think Jilli would approve of this one, though.

I'm guessing we're all about to start seeing spam from each other - it looks like whoever got into Trudy's email is now spoofing the recipients' email addresses.

Don't think Mr. Winkey Emoticon will save you from a whap upside the head with a clue-bat, buddy.
Goodness. It's not even 10:30 am yet and I'm dead on my feet. I don't know if I'll be able to stay awake for class tonight. Good think I'm working from home, because my snark-filter's pretty underpowered today.
