I would tend to agree, but "Automatic assault rifle" does sound like a term an idiot would use. And then there's this...
I decided today that I was going to splurge and spend my tax return on something frivolous. I can't file yet because I'm still waiting on the health insurance form, but I put the numbers into the 1040EZ, and it looks like I'll be getting $3 back this year. I guess that there is a sausage McBiscuit in my future.
Everybody working for Red Lobster's PR or social media team needs to be fired for not capitalizing in Beyonce's song drop. Same owner as Olive Garden and Longhorn until a couple years ago. Oops. Did you know it started in Georgia (Waycross) as the Green Frog (like in True Grit), and became the Darden group?
You think that's disappointing? You know how much I'm going to save on my car insurance now that I finally have my driver's license back? $1.98. No, I didn't leave off a zero or put the decimal in the wrong spot. One dollar and ninety eight cents. Shit, it almost wasn't worth it to get it back. Well, I mean, not getting arrested any time I'm pulled over is a plus, but I thought a driver's license would be worth more to the insurance company than that. Hell, my last insurance company dropped me when my license was suspended in '06. In other news, I made lasagna tonight for the first time since I was married... And now I remember why I haven't done it in so long: It's a pain in the ass to make.
Lasagna is, by far, one of the easiest things to make. Trick is to use the noodles you don't have to boil first. The rest is just sauce, browned meat, and cheese in layers. The entire prep time should be no more than 15 min, tops. Work smart, not hard.
If you lose your license, and then get it back, how can you expect your insurance to do anything but go up and be crazy expensive? How can you expect it to go down?
I'm pretty sure I'm on the shit list for removing myself from my in-laws' group text. Apparently a notice pops up when you leave. Oops.
If you're waiting for a 1095-C, you don't need to wait, cause its not necessary for anything other than record keeping. If you are getting an A or B, then you gotta wait I guess. Funny enough, Darden actually sold Red Lobster a bit ago. A private equity firm owns it now.
I couldn't sleep last night. This was a commercial on at 4 am. What the fuck is this? Towards the end I halfway expected a chick to mount one of those creepy things.
This. But, also, most of the basis of a particular insurance premium is based on similarity of factors and actuarial tables or tendencies. From my own experience, I know lots of people WITH valid licenses that are TERRIBLE drivers. So, I'm not sure how much consideration is placed on having one. Are you a bad driver? Or, do you just like to drive drunk? Are you more likely to wreck you car or just get arrested if you're driving drunk? Does getting a DUI cost the insurance company anything if you don't wreck? I don't think so. In fact, now they have a reason to raise your rate more than someone else with all the same other factors. I don't think they care much about you specifically having your license or not.
Geez, I dunno know, I guess because I've taken a bunch of tests proving that I'm okay to drive, legally? If losing one's license is enough for an insurance company to raise your rates or drop you outright, shouldn't getting it back count for something? (And by "something," I mean more than $1.98.)
Nope, if you're not licensed, then there is almost zero risk for the insurer. If you drive, they decline the claim. Whereas once you get your license back, your prior history of driving while drinking increases their liability risk, I'm actually surprised that your rates didn't go up, in the 12 years I've spent in insurance, I've never seen rates decrease at all in that situation.
