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.
Tom, that's a fabulous photo. So much energy in 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.
Man, Tom, you take the most amazing pictures!
I wanted to put this story on the Something Good Tumblr, but I know not the way...

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.
Well, the Geico associated insurance doesn't have anything to help me estimate. It expects me to know already.
So, my dad, under the influence of the local paper and my uncle, has joined the Tea Party. I told him they were extremists not living in a fact-based reality, and left it at that.
Oh, politics. Everywhere I turn, you make me HULK SMASH.

To misquote Jon Stewart: is he disappointed we still have traffic lights?
More seriously: I'm sorry, that has to suck. I discovered one of my old high school pals quoting Michele Bachmann favorably on FB a few weeks ago, and remembered why I disliked FB so much.
