Insurance Lately

We have been dealing with a frustrating insurance situation lately that is forcing us to reevaluate all of our insurance needs, including auto insurance. Here's the low down.

We had some building damage to our structure, enough that caused us to notify our insurance company. The carrier sent the adjuster out to our place and he was genuinely nice. He requested that we submit quotes for repair as well as the actual bills as we received them and he would pay us as we completed the various repairs. Now, what we had was water damage so there were several layers to the repair, including taking out wet carpeting and flooring, drying everything out, then starting the replacement process. Well, we are now done with the process and have not yet seen one check! The adjuster keeps explaining that he has not received any of the various copies of each bill that we submitted, it has been a frustrating process. So frustrating, in fact, that we have started looking for and pricing new insurance, not just for our property but for everything, including looking for the best pricing for our auto insurance coverage.

As I was starting the process to change insurance I came across this site that allows you to easily compare insurance pricing, it is quick and easy. I completed the entire process in minutes and received a quote in my inbox instantaneously. Now, that is no fuss, no muss service!

So, as we continue to wait for a response from our current carrier, I will forge on pursuing a new carrier.

Drive Bys



Why is it that when someone in a car honks and waves, people stop to see who it is? Oh, I guess it could be Obama?





I work in a fairly large metropolis and on my way back from the gym this evening a cab honked it's horn several times and a person riding in the back stuck out his arm (pretty sure by the size and the hair it was a man) waving like a maniac. I'm thinking, like anyone is going to look long enough to figure out of the incessant noise and obnoxious wave is aimed at someine in particular, why don't you just have the cabbie stop and jump out for a second, or better yet whip out your cell phone, after all you are not driving! Well, to my utter amazement several people stopped to see who it was that was waving and honking.

What's up with that?
