I carry collision on my 1990 Landcruiser, with a $500 deductible that
adds $200 to my ins. premium.

I bet they charged him an extra $.15 for that peppermint swirly
thingy he took from the candy jar at the Nissan dealership.
 
And Da Lou has a - holy shit - 9.68%!?!?!? retail sales tax. Plus an
extra .25% Town Tax levy for Bel Nor. Which makes a grand total $.17
w/tax!
 
But I personally would have charged him $99 for that mint, not $.15
but...<shrug>

I hate to break it to you, Jill, but your out of date. And maybe you
need to get into more wrecks.
 
In every major city in the U.S, an average of 60% of the accidents
are hit and run. Unless there's a significant injury or death, the
cops don't give a shit and won't investigate anything even if they
have the license plate number. Here in Austin that number is 82%
hit and then run (not really run, but they just drive off). There is
NO penalty for not stopping unless somebody is hurt AND you can
identify their faces.
 
Defense attorneys have a boilerplate defense that if the victim
can't positively identify the driver (through their tinted glass)
the ether is NO CASE AT ALL.
 
The only people who ever get busted, are people that step out of
their cars out of concern so witnesses can see them - then get back
in and burn off. The worst ting you can do is stop - especially if
you're been drinking. Just keep on driving!

But you would have saved yourself about $3,000 in repairs had you
paid for full insurance. And you'd have your body work done, too.
 
Yeah, you really stuck to to da man, John! You're so suave!

Comprehensive insurance is relatively cheap. Collision is more expensive
but there is questionable value when you have an older car. They will
write off older cars with little damage if the cost of repair is more
than what they think the care is worth. It happened to me when my wife
had an accident on my mother's old Buick. The car was about 12 years old
at the time, but low mileage and ran great. There was minor damage to
the left front door and quarter panel and a crack in the bumper molding.
They ended up giving me $2500 and I got to keep the car. Body work was
$2000... didn't bother with the bumper repair.

Missouri requires that accidents be reported to the police within 30 days.
John is a scofflaw in this as he is in so many things.

The writer concluded one could have too much pesto and still not have
basil.

I usually eat it just like ice cream from the freezer. It has
1/14th the fat and calories of ice cream per ounce.

I've been researching and making a few (too many) batches of
brownies this month truing to replicate a local product known as
"Miles of Chocalate". And one thing that came up consistently in ALL
the brownie recipe reviews, that everybody swore by, was this:

So Gary - your mission, should you choose not to accept it I'll kick
your ass, is to make those and report back.

I was eating Halo Top "ice cream" for a while. I decided it was too sweet
and gave up on it. Cool Whip is also too sweet for me.
 
If I want something cold (e.g., after yard work, for example), I prefer
an Outshine fruit bar. Lime, lemon, raspberry, strawberry.

Hey, I lived it back in the 1960's. For many years, my chores
were to cut the grass once a week and take out the kitchen
garbage once a day. For that, my allowance was $1.00 per week.
 
Large yard too with a few very steep hills. Dangerous to mow.
It took about 3-4 hours to do with the smelly push mower.
 
All for $1.00 a week. Dad got a very good deal. Just the
easy garbage thing was worth that much.

It was a hit and run accident as he turned at an intersection.

It has been pretty clear from some of your posts that you were very
close to the edge.

I don't believe it! I don't bother to put a smiley face on my obviously
smart alec remark, and a usenet user doesn't take offense! There may be
hope for this world yet.
 
You have made my day. Clocking out of usenet now to savor the moment.

It's quite simple:
 
If you're rich, you can buy whatever insurance you want or pay for your
own medical care.
 
If you have a good job, your employer pays for most of your medical
insurance.
 
If you have a crappy job, you can buy insurance on the ACA exchanges or
do without.
 
If you have no job (or a REALLY crappy job), you qualify for Medicaid,
a type of government health insurance.
 
If you are over 65, you qualify for Medicare, a type of government health
insurance.

A lot of people are happy with it. A lot of people who might benefit
from national health insurance and even more who might not, hate the
idea of paying for part of someone else's health insurance.

I've found the quality of Progresso soups has gone waaay down. Moot
point since Julie didn't buy wild rice *soup*.

On re-reading and doing some more checking, I don't think you were
hacked at all. GoDaddy disabled the server software that served your
legacy website that you've had for 11 years.
 
Have they asked you for any money to upgrade?
 
It's still possible that some kiddie did break into your site and
fucked it just for kicks, but its not likely that GoDaddy would
coincidently tell you your site is unrecoverable citing some
"template" problem unless they disabled some compatibility with
serving your ancient pages - and right before your renewal date.
 
I don't do web programming, only sever software. But could some kind
soul look at her source at archive.org and see what has been
possibly obsoleted at GogDaddy.com? Cindy maybe?
 
Oh Wait - I'd bet my left testicle that Cathy of
http://www.recfoodcooking.org/ could host your minimal site as a
SUB-URL of that domain - which would be perfect!. You might even be
able to piggyback hizzhoners.com nameservice to keep your domain
name cheaply. She has plenty of space and bandwidth she probably
doesn't use. This is your best bet. Email her!

After so many years without, I found and ate 3 pancakes from the
freezer just 2 days ago. Very good too. Now I'm tempted to make
more.

Back in the mid 1970's, I lived in a place that had a propane
tank for stove only. Maybe 100lbs? It was the size and
shape of a large (about 4' high) scuba tank.
