Steve, it's in Ogame.org. Mike and I didn't pay attention to a game rule when we made a trade, so we get a time out.


I've gotten into a couple of these browser-based things since I've gotten all this time, but I cant get into O-Game.

Ohhhh....that's really weak. Expected overtime work the week before leaving the company?

Well, I'm not going to tell you how to respond, Simon, but I sure do hope you get over your short-lived yet debilitating illness scheduled for Friday at 5pm. I'd call in sick too if I were you. You'd better rest up and recuperate.

I'll get the time back at the beginning and end of the week so I end up with a 2 1/2 day week next week.

Looks like I'm in the market for a new car insurance company after 22 years.  My wife was backed into by another car in a parking lot for less than $1000 damages.  Police report clearly stated that the other driver backed into my wife.  We fronted the $250 deductible while waiting for the claim to be settled.  Turns out the other driver is in the same "good hands" that we are.  They chose to ignore the findings of the police report, even after I appealed the decision, and split the fault 50-50.  We eat the $250, which makes my wife furious.  Then, today I get my new policy and see a fairly hefty rate increase due to the "liable claim", which infuriates me.

As a rule I despise insurance companies. It's perverse gambling . . . . when you win you lose, when you lose you lose.

My parents remenber a time , 20 years ago or so, when issurances were not obligatory.
You made a gamble: pay for the insurrance evry month, or take the risk that nothing will damage your house/car/glasses/dog/whatever.
But with time, this became an obligation.
And now, you must pay, but you never get your money back

As an example (one of so many), we had a storm in France 1 week ago. 50 deads. THousand of house flooded.
There was on TV news the example of a familly wich received a letter from insurrances saying they won't give so much money because it was not on the contract .

Some quick shopping online has turned up Progressive Insurance Company with a very good quote for both of us, and both cars.  Same coverage is actually almost $300 less/6 months than my current Allstate policy, which would be increasing by $330/6 months in April. 

Anyone have any opinions or experience with Progressive? 

Yuri, any "expert" advice?

I stayed with State Farm by default after I left my parent's umbrella some time ago. They've always been very good to work with, particularly on our homeowner's side.

July 5 of 2008 saw my wife total our old car in a major MVA. Two idiot teenagers (PUNKS-see the Geezer thread) turned in front of her in an intersection and she T-boned 'em as she proceeded straight through on the green. Luckily no one was seriously hurt.

State Farm settled with us very quickly for the fair market value of the car and included the value of the child safety seats inside the car that were rendered unusable in the wreck. Furthermore, as the other drivers were 100% at fault, they went after the other drivers' insurance company in an effort to reimburse our initial $500 collision deductable. They handled all the legal paperwork and we did have our deductable returned to us by their efforts.

We've had major damage to our homes and cars caused by a Tornado / hail in two of the past three years ($30,000 / $5,500 / $3,500, respectively). They've been very easy and helpful to work with. Easier than contractors, that's for darn sure.

Never a hint of raising our premiums, in spite of all of these issues. I haven't compared rates in a while, but when I did a few years ago they were competitive. When combined with the loyal service, I've got no reason to consider going elsewhere.

They had some major problems in Florida when I was there. If I recall the state insurance commission had to step on them rather severly after thei conduct during hurricane Andrew. Bruce, do you recall anything about it?
