I got fired by Erie Insurance last year for an unknown (to both me and
and my agent) reason. So, scroom. I'm thinking of going back to local
company, Pekin Insurance. I left them for Erie when I bought the Chevy
HHR and they wanted an obscene amount of money to insure it. They're
much more reasonable on my Beemer and the house.

I'm down on both frequency and amounts. Hence the need for galluses.
BTW - I recommend Healthy Choice frozen steamers when you don't feel
like cooking. They come in various sizes and were recommended to mr by
a registered dietician at my doctor's office. I had the Sweet & Sour
Chicken made with "riced" cauliflower for supper last night. Nice and
not overly filling.

My favourite boss went into that field. She's now catching babies at a
local hospital's labour & delivery department. I texted her to let her
know that the main reason she left AutoZone had quit to seek greener
pastures.

When I was churching food/meals were for after services. There was quite
the spread every Sunday in the parish hall.
