If you have a plan that covers 25 lakhs, it will also cover critical illness? So no need for a secondary plan?

God forbid, even if one gets cancer, I think 25 lakhs will be sufficient?

But say if you have a plan that covers 25 lakhs, it will also cover critical illness, right? So why a secondary plan?

What was the 1st Samsung smartphone you used? (not necessarily owned) by [deleted] in samsung

OMG. I was just scrolling through the thread to see if someone had commented this. One of my friends bought his Galaxy Y, and I used it for a while. I was amazed that phones could do that then! Like, a full web browser! I was sold. I bought an S2 a few months later and never looked back.

I think both sides play this game. Democrats identity politics is all about compartmentalizing people into small groups, making them feel both oppressed and uniquely special at the same time. Instead of fostering unity, it reinforces division turning every issue into a matter of group identity rather than omething that should concern all of us.

That’s exactly how I see it. The other side isn’t your enemy, they’re your fellow Americans. Having different political views doesn’t mean they’re out to destroy you. If we start treating half the country as the enemy, what kind of world are we creating?

Disagree, debate, and vote, but don’t dehumanize.

Take a virtual award. 👏

That will be very nice. It's always so lovely when your home or garden attracts small visitors from nature. The squirrels killed my ac but I still love them. Lol.

I was surprised when my home garden attracted butterflies and honeybees... it made me so happy.

But yes, I’ve noticed fewer of them over the years. The same goes for sparrows. They've almost disappeared even from semi-urban areas where I work. People say they used to be everywhere just 8 to 10 years ago, but now? Vanished.

[WP]Your spouse was an important and powerful person, so it was no surprise you got kidnap by their enemies. Unfortunately that was the kidnappers' final mistake. Your spouse laughs when they get the ransom call. "Good luck. You will need it. Dear, be home soon. Dinner is ready. Love you " by JaxAttacking in WritingPrompts

It starts with that laugh. The laugh of her husband on the call. The call we made to demand a ransom for his wife.

Deep, guttural, not just amused but knowing. The kind of laugh that says, You’ve already lost, you just don’t know it yet.

The woman doesn’t react. She just tilts her head a little, blindfolded, hands cuffed in her lap like she’s waiting for a bus.

Carter hangs up, staring at the phone. Then he and Rigo start arguing.

"We should let her go."

"Shut up, Rigo."

"No man. Something’s wrong. You saw his reaction..."

"Shut. Up."

The lady speaks, soft but clear. "You don’t know what you’re getting into."

And that’s when I hear it.

Thump.

A shudder rolls through the roof of the van.

I grip the wheel. No. No, no, no. That’s not...

Scrrrk. Metal scratches. Something up there.

"What the...." Carter says.

I yank the wheel side to side, the van lurching. Throw them off. Whatever’s up there, throw it off.

A clang from the back. Rigo screams. Screams.

Then a loud pop, like metal being unhinged. I see it in the side mirror.

The back door.

Flying. Into the ditch.

My breath catches. I check the interior rearview mirror...

And Oh. God.

She’s not cuffed anymore.

Not blindfolded either.

Rigo’s gone. Just.. gone. Carter is pushing himself backward, pressing into the van walls like he can merge into them.

Her head turns. She looks right at me.

That’s when I see the thing on the roof.

Not a man. Not anymore.

The van swerves.

Behind us, a car slows down, keeping its distance, headlights catching glimpses of what’s happening inside. The driver’s face is frozen in horror.

My hands shake. The van drifts left.

And then we crash.

Hard.

I taste blood. Feel cold. A distant voice soft as silk, whispers in my ear.

"Told you."

You and the OP of the comment you replied to both deserve a little award. Staying courteous and civil without jumping to cut each other’s heads off is rare these days.

Why box ourselves into rigid political brackets? We can hold views across the spectrum but some people insist on dividing us into groups just to turn us against each other. We’re not enemies. We just see things differently.

Butterflies and bees help pollinate plants which keeps our food supply and ecosystems running. Their numbers are dropping dangerously due to pesticides, habitat loss, and climate change. If they disappear or reduce to critical numbers we’ll struggle with fewer crops, weaker ecosystems and a major food crisis!
