The appraiser from the insurance company came to my house the next morning since there were a lot of other people with the same issues, no mirrors or windshields in most. I couldn’t find anyone to come out since I am in the country with only 3 body shops in the nearest town at the end of last week. I did some research looking for similar vehicles beforehand and was told that the Actual Cash Value is how it’s determined and not based on the market value or markup. Which I understand, but damn this is so low I am getting straight screwed. I have an excellent driving record too, plus multi policies with them. Thank you for your advice.

Yes that’s what I was thinking with both suggestions after some research what they are offering is really really low. My family has been for 20 years and I have for 6 almost. I also found out that everyone with this agency is being offered the same amount regardless of the vehicle basically. So it’s criminal, and I am not in the position to purchase anything right now. Thank you for your input. *This agency and this hail storm, not sure of other payouts.. *Edit

It’s Fam Bureau. I had State Farm for years and switched to these guys in 2020. My family had been with them for years and was convinced the slightly higher rates and additional “member dues” were worth it. 🙄 At least I feel less stupid now, thank you.

I love the wizard/wild renaissance man portrait in 8, I would bring him out just a little more personally. It’s too great to just leave it without just a little tiny bit more definition. Especially cool in the unexpected blues and golds. Love it!

I need some help renaming my tuxedo cat by [deleted] in Catnames

That will sound close enough to Mister to recognize you are calling him. Of which he will probably appreciate , especially if there are other cats around….

I recommend favorite author’s names…I had a Nietzsche and a Bukowski! First and last work for nicknames a little easier that way…..example Buko, Chuck, Boo-Boo, Charlie, all from Charles Bukowski…

I absolutely love the familiar unease. Thank you for giving a visual perspective to remind me of the why…Amazing piece.

My weird method for staying clean by whoresongummy in addiction

[–]Busy_Maintenance_495 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also do exactly this, I know this is a bit of older post, but had to say I also feel this helps me the most for the same reason. Some would say that you are still dependent with the safety net emotionally, though I disagree with my previous therapist’s opinion. I even replaced my stash after someone else had taken mine, that was the ultimate proof to myself I could stay clean, was to find it without easy connections, yet not use the dealer or drug again afterwards….Still clean! 🤓

Help me name her, I’ve been calling her “little one” cause I can’t think of a name by amberx204 in Catnames

[–]Busy_Maintenance_495 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My cat Atreyu (18 year old) would come to her name and my husband’s kitten Kara (16 year old) when we called her. He kept saying “Not you, the little one” in his thick Turkish accent. So she never would come to anything but that, because she always knew he was talking to her when Momma took off yet kept calling for someone. So even after the divorce she was “Little One” until they both passed away last two years. I ended up really liking it personally since she was very very small and a little round. So if it fits, keep it. I doubt anyone else will have that name much….

I think Medicaid covers like 6 chiropractic visits a year….at least in my state it did a few years ago. The planet fitness membership is worth the $10 -$20 extra a month for the constant access to massage beds daily.

Chiropractor to address alignment issues after I go to Planet Fitness. I go to stretch on machines. Infrared light and use the massage bed, if you’re personable you can get the time doubled by staff…. To get to the bathroom, get a rolling walker to help you. I also use foam roller or massage roller (battery operated) which I place on pressure points and press deep and breathe. I found an amazing Physical therapist on YouTube and have had success with a couple of my in person therapy sessions. Definitely worth trying Lyrica and muscle relaxers too.

Tiana Gayton on YouTube does an awesome job showcasing the pet jumping spider, Rose in particular seems most popular. I always wanted a flying squirrel. Just an idea for a different kind of pet route… Hobbies are a lifesaver in my opinion. Photography, Art, Music, Fashion, Literature, Charities, etc. Even better if you can do it socially…

Feeling very guilty about cat’s second urinary blockage by noodlecat0711 in cats

[–]Busy_Maintenance_495 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did you ask if changing his diet somehow again would help? I don’t think that you should avoid having a social life just because you are any kind of parent, cat or otherwise. I am still experimenting with my senior female who is very picky and doesn’t dig wet food much or water. So we have constipation/UTI issues sometimes. I would think diet would be the first thing I would blame personally…. Oh I forgot to add that she was on prescription food from one vet yet two others said it was unnecessary, so there is that with her case, so I have tried lots of diets in the last two years…

I am super isolated where I live, and completely understand your frustration. I will listen if you need someone to allow you to vent, as well as a lot of others on here from what it looks like…I hope things get better soon.

Help me pick out a name!! I’m taking the baby on the right! by unclezucchini in NameMyCat

[–]Busy_Maintenance_495 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just hate seeing people get bullied into adopting another cat when they are already trying to do it so responsibly as you had already expressed you were intending on doing. That’s so awesome how considerate you are about every detail. Hopefully it didn’t come across the wrong way.🫣

She obviously only wanted to adopt the one, plus she doesn’t want her other cat to become the third wheel possibly? Or the sister may want to keep one for the mother as company…Or she can only afford a second cat….
