French Bulldog?

Yep.

Is the little guy a French Bulldog? I am recently obsessed with them.

Move to San Francisco, we're infested with them. (I love them.)

Thrive to spite them

I have $25,000 coverage even though I know my stuff isn't worth it and it probably wouldn't cost me that much to replace everything. But I'd rather be over insured than under.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

That's pretty much exactly how renters insurance works.

Good to know! I was picturing listing my possessions, and they are like:

  • Coffee Table- from side of the road
  • sideboard- from side of the road
  • 2 dressers- from side of the road
  • sofa (mid century)- $50 at Salvation Army
  • Chair- $19 at salvation army
  • cat condo- $9

etc, etc. I mean, I like the stuff because I like old stuff, and it has taken me years to find it all at a price I want (some of the things I bought at flea markets as a kid) but it is not worth much monetarily, especially since I have painted a lot of it.

I was at a dog-friendly bar yesterday, and there were TWO puppies: [link]

Meep!

I found out this weekend that Darby is a championship camper. Off-leash all weekend and she never went more than a few yards into the woods unless one of us was with her. Though the campground did kind of look like there might have been a highly localized meteor shower. [link]

Good Darby! Me and my friends go camping quite a bit and when we bring the 3 dogs (a chihuahua, a beagle, and a pug) it always ends up looking like we were there to hunt for treasure. Sadly, have not found any treasure yet.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Man, Tom, you take the most amazing pictures!

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

You don't have to itemize or price things unless you want to. They have tiers based on stuff like number of rooms, number of inhabitants. From there, you can increase your coverage. If you have an expensive shoe fetish and are a clotheshorse. Original artwork, vintage potholder collection, 8 computers? OK. They've got formulas and a checklist, that's their job, you don't have to figure it out.

Don't let that be a barrier.
