Emeraldfire, I'm not sure, but I have noticed several people wondering the same thing. Sometimes things get crazy in people's lives and they drift away for a while. Hopefully Tish will drift back to us soon.

Car insurance....if you have coverage...and extra coverage for your stero equip. Your car gets broken into and stereo stolen....If you report it, will your premium go up???

it truly depends upon the mood of the person handling your policy. it might or it might not.

Check with your agent Kearie, companies do differ. Theft is usually not a "chargable" incident, but you might have a "loss-free" discount on your policy and you could lose that credit making your policy premium higher. Don't forget to consider the deductible, if you have one. If your claim is $120 and your deductible is $100, it's not worth having the incident on your record for $20. Keep your insurance for the "big one". JMHO

seriously, kearie. each insurance company has their own secret formula as to whether or not your premium goes up. if you have had a lot of claims before, if you have had a lot of points on your driver's license, if your area has become a hotbed of criminal activity, etc. there are a number of reasons why they might raise your premiums and then again might not. there is no clear cut answer. each company is different. my family (dad before he died and my brother) run an independent insurance business. i hate insurance companies myself and don't like to deal with them.

Thanks you two. ArReal's truck was broken into last night. The alarm went off and some people broke into her truck. Broke the passenger's window and took their stereo equipment and speakers and amplifier etc. She said the speakers were $1000 alone. Thanks...she's calling and talking with them now.

that sucks, sorry to hear that, kearie. asking them up front what will happen to her premiums might work - if that person has any say over the matter. the claims folks usually don't talk with the salespeople. i wish her good luck. was her truck parked on base? or are they living in private quarters?

They're living off base. They told her on the phone it wasn't worth it to file a claim. They did get a vague description of the two that broke in...very vague. Two guys, one was black and they drove off in a white car. Cops lifted finger prints so they're waiting to see...

I would like to make a Member's Folder for Lyn, but have not made one before. Is it really as simple as hitting Start a New Thread in the K-N Member's Folder and typing Lyn?

either she has a huge deductible, or someone was going on the $120 over $100 thing and not expecting it was a high end system. if i had anything that expensive in my car i wouldn't leave it parked out where people could get to it. i always unhook my GPS and take it inside.

It's not only the stereo she has to worry about either with the broken window. That can cost quit a bit of money to repair. Penguin, yes that really is all there is to starting a member folder (or any thread really.) Just find the proper place it goes, the k-n section, start new thread, put her nick in the title and write and post a message as normal.

Strange Kearie. I'd be interested in knowing why they said it wasn't worth it, especially with the cost of the system and the fact that she had purchased extra coverage for it. Big deductible?

how much is her deductible? i'd file a claim. the cost of the window and the stereo system alone should be worth it. something smells here.

I had my driver's side window broken out once, but nothing stolen (I think the alarm scared them off or else it was just vandals). I definitely filed a police report and an insurance claim. My rates didn't go up, but it depends a lot on how long you've been with the company and what other claims (if any) you've made. Because they had used something to pry at the window, there was some minor body work involved in addition to just replacing the glass. Definitely worth the insurance claim. I have a $100 deductible on my comprehensive coverage and that's all I had to pay.

SERVING ORDER OF EACH COURSE 1) An amuse-bouche, if used, should be served first, followed by the appetizer course, being either a stand-up or a sit-down style or both. 2) Alternate your courses by serving a heavy course then a light course, e.g. cream soup (heavy), followed by a green salad (light), then a pasta course (heavy), etc. 3) Always serve a citrus sorbet before the main entrée as a palate cleanser for the main attraction. Do not use a sweet sorbet, save this for a dessert course. 4) Once you determine the order of your courses, write it down and refer to it in the kitchen so you will know what course comes next. How to plan a dinner party.
