To the tune of paying 6x what they normally would. Combined with the inability to refuse coverage, it is going to be a disaster.russell1200https://www.blogger.com/profile/16258915475311426433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7507051756134115711.post-59264024415931422262013-11-09T08:25:15.383-05:002013-11-09T08:25:15.383-05:00We wait.

Since she's covered by the school district, and has what's most probably a "Cadillac Plan", we're expecting to hear something, but we don't know what to expect.drjimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05647484115197408897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7507051756134115711.post-80771008656712979352013-11-07T13:02:00.136-05:002013-11-07T13:02:00.136-05:00Our insurance has been cancelled, and the replacem...Our insurance has been cancelled, and the replacement policy the state is fobbing off on teachers is worse than nothing.<br /><br />Deer season up here as well .

I had to think about it but then remembered I do...it's stashed in my safe. I'd flat forgotten about it. Duke can suck eggs before he gets his sticky fingers on my rifle.

Went to little brothers house to help recoup after shoulder surgery. He is doing much better and still awats to go. Squirrels have ate all my pecans and most of my white oak acorns. I was going to send you some for your little underweight city squirrels. Are you really getting rid of your stuff. I only like 40s and 50s. Wishing you well and all my love.
