By losing points from my score that can cause my insurance to increase. Now my insurance is still cheaper than it was when […]

I’m looking for a new agent

A new insurance agent that is. I just got the renewal on my car and renters insurance premiums. While my renters insurance has stayed the same for the last 3 years, my car insurance premium has increased again. When you consider that I live in PA and we only have 6 month policies, you can see where that gets […]

Sad news on the work front

One of my coworkers passed away yesterday. I could say that it was sudden but it really wasn’t to people that knew her. She had an advanced form of cancer that went undiagnosed for years. Even though she knew she was sick, she never went to the doctors to find out what was wrong. I hope […]

Would you ever get plastic surgery?

Keeping in mind that the economy is in the tank and it’s a frivolous purpose right now. Since insurance generally doesn’t cover cosmetic surgery, you would have to pay for it out of pocket.

I wonder if my insurance covers weight loss surgery

But I’m no where near that overweight. I have looked into weight loss tampa in Florida since that’s where I’m considering moving. But if my […]

I need to read my insurance forms

My health insurance forms. I know they cover weight loss surgery if you’re grossly overweight but what if it’s considered cosmetic. I’m not grossly overweight, I’m just a little pudgy.

Don’t skimp on healthcare

The other day John and I were on the bus coming home from work. This woman on the bus starts convulsing with a seizure. Several people called the paramedics and we sat and waited. Once the paramedics got there and started working on the woman, she started to come out of it. They asked her […]

I’m not overpaying for contact lenses this year

I talk about shopping on the internet all the time and contact lenses are no exception. I go to my regular eye doctor to get my exam but I do not buy my lenses from them. The reason is that they’re overpriced. I have a friend who works for a eye doctor (is it optometrist […]

I’ll soon be able to shop for car insurance

I already have a car and I already have insurance. But it’s so expensive. When I asked my agent why it was so high, she told me that there were many factors. I knew that my credit score would factor into it. I have borderline credit now but it was really bad in the past. […]
