A few years ago car insurance took a big jump up in California. I don’t recall why, but all the insurance companies raised their prices.

I currently pay $800+ every 6 months for a 2011 Audi A3 hatchback. I think that’s very high for such an old car, but I shopped around a few years ago, then moved to Traveler’s because they were cheaper than most. I drive very little and have high deductibles.

I am envious of Jrand’s low bills.

I had almost nothing for my 24-year old Ford Escort, but I now have a 15-month old Subaru Impreza that I'm still paying on. I need full insurance for now.

Have you had your new car for over a year already, DR George! It doesn't seem possible!

Sorry to have missed DR Jeanne.

I was working overtime.

But now I'm done.

I like the overtime pay, but I hate working it because they make you quantify everything you do during that block of time.

I didn't have the salad because the cancelled the order - so I tried to order again and it wouldn't allow me to put the salad in the cart - apparently they were out of it. Ridiculous. So, rather than what I wanted I had the mac-and-cheese from Marmalade Cafe, and it wasn't up to its usual standards and I'm feeling a bit nauseous now and wish I didn't have to attend the opening night.

Now, let's knock it off with the lethargy and get some posts going, what do you say?

Even book orders are a little slower than usual, although one person did buy four copies.

Still feeling pretty lousy.

I truly don't know from insurance providers who can save me the most money. I have been insured by State Farm all my adult life.

My mom used State Farm for home and cars, and I simply jumped in and did the same when I left Oakland to come here.

I have been told that USAA is truly outstanding, and kinfolk say I should swtich over.

If USAA had a field office nearby, I might consider it. But State Farm is firmly entrenched in this County and has a sterling reputation.

Overall and through the years we have been pleased with State Farm.

DR Jane, did you try filing a PayPal dispute?

We changed rooms.

I still can't use the wifi.

The AC isn't rattling and shouldn't keep Keith awake tonight.

The dresser drawers work properly.

I can't remember everything else that was wrong with the other room.

I don't think DR JANE is happy with her accommodations.

LOL, at least we used points for our stay here.

We use Progressive which is fine. But there’s a new law in British Columbia that is concerning. I’m in Canada at least part of every day. Even if a Canadian driver is at fault in an accident, US insurance cannot collect from them, nor can I or my insurance company sue them.

Is there something you can do to protect yourself?

Good Afternoon - I continue to walk around in a haze today as we all have pretty much found out about the cause to death of my aforementioned friend of mine yesterday. I'm not surprised, but saddened nonetheless.

I went to the hairdresser today. I always stop at the bagel bakery first for bagels for hairdresser Richard and myself. Today Richard was telling me about a client he dislikes. He doesn’t need to work, but he loves doing hair, so he only takes clients he likes. Another hairdresser there, C., doesn’t like this client, either. They were both making up stories to avoid doing her hair. Another hairdresser, who used to work for Richard, is back in town. They’ve hired her to help out and, I suppose, take the undesirable clients. It was quite funny hearing their side of things.
