    '...members through challenging times for 94 years...'
    Holy cow! Of course I'm one of the last people to give any indication of being 'age-ist' around here.
    but I can't help mentioning how young and attractive you look for having been around that long! :ba: :emoji_blush:

    I assumed auto insurance companies were federally mandated in that they were legally required to pay out xx% of their income as claims. And figured that these discounts were required to get them within whatever guidelines had been set up. But apparently auto insurance is not federally mandated whatsoever.

    So i'd imagine these tiny discounts are just a miniscule percentage of their probably substantially increased profit due to people driving less. Ehhh, I'll take it I suppose. Better than nothing, but kind of misleading for them to pretend it's out of generosity or whatever.

    As always I have no idea what I'm talking about

    But I'll certainly give you a LOLOLOL for what appears to some kind of mad-scientist canine-'Ted' combination! :emoji_joy:

    Has anyone ordered something through Amazon, been charged and then refunded without a notification? I received deposits from Amazon and the amounts seem to match a few items I ordered. But I haven't received an email and nothing has changed among the orders in my Amazon account. The items haven't shipped but they're currently in stock and there's no cancellation message.

    ugggh, you just made me log into my @yahoo.com account.

    Yup got the email too.

    My policy renewed in early march, and I pay 6 months at a time. So I suppose I'll be getting a 15 percent discount when I renew in september?

    hmm

    I'm assuming this acronym has something to do with the ongoing topic around here
    about "Stop Topping Frankfurters Unwisely", like with ketchup. :)
    Also, please forgive me for additionally sounding so serious, but no one should have
    anything to do with Febreze, which is basically poison, and one of the big reasons
    that people who don't smoke wind up getting lung cancer. I'm sorry. It's just a huge
    pet-peeve of mine how certain manufacturers get away with outright 'lying' (It doesn't
    'eliminate' odors; it just damages your body so you can't smell them! They don't care!
    No different from the cigarette manufacturers!
