I think I may have figured out a way to gain sympathy and get rid of phone sales people at the same time. I have your attention now, don't I? Well, as I stated last week on my blog, I have communicated recently with my brother as he is in the process of selling me insurance. Today, he came by, had my figures figured out and was ready to get me to change my insurance. OK, go ahead, set me up. I don't know about you, but I just dread having to deal with anything insurance related. Such a pain. Making sure that your old insurance and your new insurance don't both draft out of your bank account. Getting refunds. Overlaps. Calling customer service to cancel the old policy and getting grief. That's the part I really wasn't looking forward to. So, I call my old car insurance company. I listen to the menu. Choose my option, input all my info, and listen to the automated teller go on for an eternity about what my last payment was, when it was paid, when my next payment was d...

Don't give up! Someday, I'll be a regular blogger again. Someday. I've had a lot of stuff on my mind and have been stressed to a frazzle the last couple of weeks. And when I'm like that, I can't blog. I just can't do it. I become a blogger recluse. I don't want to be that way. That's not to say that I've totally been without a sense of humor. At moments, I have given some people quite the laugh. I tried this line on a few people today: "My brother has actually called to talk to me this week. He's was trying to sell me insurance." Sad, but absolutely true. Earlier today, I was pitching Bonnie Grove's book Talking to the Dead . (Great book that I highly recommend...) The radio host said, "By the title, I'm not sure we could do that one." "It's not what you think by the title. It's a story of dealing with grief, not like John Edwards saying, 'I see someone near you with grey hair. Name starts with an M......
