As I was rushing out of here, I had one of those 'this is it' moments...the ones where you have to make big decisions really quickly. I answered the 'what would you grab' question by taking only Bartleby's park bag..
I had one of those moments a couple of years ago when my apartment building caught on fire. All I did was put on shoes and put my cat in his carrier and leave. In retrospect, I totally should have grabbed my purse, too, but at the time all I could think was, grab Mickey and get out.
What really floored me was the number of people who not only didn't evacuate their pets, but were surprised that I did.
I'm a big believer in renters insurance. Always have been. I've had it through Allstate and now through California Casualty (but you have to be a member of the fire, police or teachers unions to get that).
WS, that was some powerful -ma you sent. G slept for over 2 hours. His grandmother just showed up, and I am on my way home.
Well Played, Phoenix Suns
Nicely done, guys. And now I can feel better about rooting for the Suns over the Portland Trailblazers. I suspect the Suns will always be My Team. Even when I don't watch basketball.
Now to check on renter's insurance...which I have not had for years. Any favored companies among us?
State Farm.
Also check with whoever you have your auto insurance but, man, I don't think I am ever leaving State Farm. They are affordable and when I've needed them, they are on it.
I have renter's (and auto) insurance through State Farm, too. Luckily, I haven't had to test their responsiveness.
Bonny, I actually have a contact with State Farm who sponsors the theatre's Pride Night, so I can put you in touch with a good agent.
That would be great Vortex. Thank you. Knowing someone trustworthy would make a big difference in my decision-making.
Profile addy is good. Please include to whom I should give credit for the referral.
I've been happy with State Farm too. I never had a claim with renter's insurance, but they were great with homeowner's insurance.
I've had State Farm since the 80s and swear by them. Even when I had a couple of bad years ticket and accident-wise, they didn't raise my rates ginormously. And they could have. I blame the rate increases on the fact I lived in Michigan with its "no fault" laws; insurance is always more expensive there, anyway. I've had three accidents in the past six years and they haven't raised my rates once and one of them I was at fault.
Allstate's okay, but don't believe President 24...the rates are too high.
But they handle claims fast.
