It probably would/will, Sara--it's about 5 hours. I just hate driving long distances, but even though greyhound is only $30, getting to/from the station to the airport might be more hassle than it's worth. And amtrak doesn't go between the two. Boo!

It's weirdly cheaper for our family to DRIVE to Ohio than for all of us to fly.

The tintypes are cool. Everyone's nose is jacked up, though, and it does weird things to skin. I thought Anne Hathaway looked great.

Kat, ignore them. You do your thing, clearly that has a noteworthy impact.

Seconded.

Health~ma to your ma, meara.

Can you call and ask what's up, sarameg? I imagine you could change agents if you wanted to, ihave three or four State Farm agents that are approximately equally conveniently located for me (although the one I have is fine, I plan to stick with her).

I shot off an e-mail summarizing my understanding of the situation before my eye exam, confirmed I don't need to change my prescription, don't have cataracts or glaucoma yet, and picked out some snazzy Michael Kors frames for a new pair of prescription sunglasses (I'm apparently just giving up on contacts), ran 3 miles and came home to an e-mail that I am interpreting to mean tomorrow morning will be early enough to go further. Whew.

If anyone is wondering, TJ's pork belly is pretty dang tasty.

I just logged out of work. It is chocolate and vodka and half-hour comedy time.

-t, msbelle, thank you for your recs. Those are two of the ones I feel better about.

I like that time.

I hate calling (which is why I have a long list of calls to make for garage door, porch roof, vets, etc. God, I want a vacation from everything. Except it still has to be done.) Adding another to the list when I supposedly signed up via the web just pisses me off. I suspect it is an agent issue of not acting in a timely manner to web-requests. But finding a new agent is another PITA (because I don't plan on ditching SF because I get pretty damn good discounts for multiple lines and my history with them, which I discovered shopping around when I bought my house. And I don't want to deal with the paperwork of switching homeowners.) Hrm, wonder if I can fire&hire online too?

Sara, I am so with you-- I should've called and updated/changed my insurance last month when the bill came but I kept putting it off until I just had to pay it because it was the last day. Oops. But I didn't want to figure out what I needed --especially because I'd have to change house insurance too, if I was going to do car insurance somewhere else

Amy, I love hardware stores. Which is why I think I will wait for the weekend to go shopping (probably) so I can browse to my heart's content.

That makes total sense to me, sarameg. Too bad they are being schmucks.
