Bonny, renter's insurance is key for situations just like this. Call me a cynic, but I don't trust my neighbors to be as careful as I am :) I have mine through USAA, but unless you were in the service or a dependent of someone honorably discharged, you aren't eligible.
There's something about a food that moves all by itself that gives me the heebie-jeebies.

We have gnats. Not just like "Oh, look,a gnat." Like Gnat Sharks and Gnat Jets. Serious gnats. Does anybody know anything that will drive them away? Or at least keep them from hanging out on my food. Cause I find that really gross and I can't eat and shoo at the same time.

Another resume and cover letter sent out, for a decent job. Not one I'm super excited about, but there might be a chance to travel to a sister program in Geneva. Woo!

bonny, we've used Amica for years for coverage on many fronts. In CA I had someone hit my car on Tuesday and they had a check in my hands on Wednesday, with no rate increases.
So glad you and B. are okay!

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
That's the big question for me. Was it designed for that kind of pressure?
The comments I've been saying say there is likely a physical jam, like part of the casing structure was dislodged during the kick and is blocking it from closing. Can't remember how informed that particular speculation is.
Gud, and anyone else interested, I recommend checking out The Oil Drum [link] Lots of technical info and links, a lot less hysterical politics from either side.

erika, don't you have anti-gnat electric things? Buy one, and get some peace of mind.
Or just hang from the ceiling transparent water bags. For some unknown reason, that partly works.

Bonny, I'm glad the damage wasn't worse and that no one was hurt.
This might be the time to remind everyone that since the Magna Carta, Britain never had a revolution.
Um, wasn't there a civil war in there, though?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
bonny, glad you're both all right! And your neighbors, too. I had renter's insurance through Allstate, along with my car and now have my home insurance. I like them. I strongly recommend getting renter's insurance, whoever you pick!

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

Sure, people were trying things, but in the end, nothing lasted (as in: the system didn't change). Or, as my kick ass Middle Age prof. says: "The only difference between a riot and a revolution is that only the later consider to be successful".
Unless I'm missing the specific one you talk about.

There was also that little skirmish with the American Colonies.
