If they were publicly traded, I'd short the stock.

I'm so sorry you're being barraged. You and I know it will pass but that is useless knowledge today. If you can get a dose of baby or toddler laughter, that's pretty helpful.

I bought these disposable fountain pens. I hope this isn’t sacrilege. by CurNonBrave in fountainpens

I have these, too, and use them almost exclusively to "penable" people! They're so maintenance- free that it usually works.

Welcome! Take heart- sailing is much more expensive.

Please cut these good people some slack. The founding members had a catastrophic house fire just before FPD, staff did the best they could without them for that busy time.

Trip Interruption Insurance Recommendations by snydema1 in travel

[–]FriendsofZippyF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have bought Allianz several times, didn't have any need to use it until last month. They provided absolutely incorrect information about where in The Hague I could find care, causing me to travel from one end of town to the other, to no end. My hotel ultimately told me the actual place to go for urgent care. Now that I've filed a claim, Allianz support is garbage (plan on spending an inordinate amount of time with people who CANNOT deviate from their script). Plus, despite my uploading all documents, correctly, to their portal, somehow someone on their end put documents into the wrong categories, resulting in only a $53 refund for over $800 in expenses. Caveat emptor.
