Oh my G*d. I think I have reached the peak of my geekiness. There's a website called Consumerist, some of the posts are quite educational and offer some really useful info and some of the posters can be quite snarky and incisive.

Anyways, I'd been happily reading along, either agreeing or cringing over some of the posts and comments, then I saw this about renter's insurance. After reading it, and the comments - I ended up signing up for the site, so I could comment on the post and others' comments.

Yeah. Like I said - I've reached the ultimate in geekiness. Nevermind that their sister sites Idolator and Jezebel have had posts that I've wanted to respond to ... oh no, it's the consumer website and an insurance entry that did it.


I'm going to retreat to the corner now.



p.s.: In the States, it's Columbus Day. Here in San Francisco, it's "Columbus was a mass murderer who raped and pillaged and how can anyone celebrate that?" day. Or, in the words of the local NPR station's morning DJ: "The schools are closed for Columbus Day, or Indigenous Peoples Day, or whatever they're calling it now..."

And Happy Thanksgiving my Canadian lovelies! :-)

No worries hon! It happens from time to time. :-)

Columbus does not equal love. He was a dick. *kicks him and the US school system*

I never got into the whole Columbus Day deal - I think I just looked at it like "yay! another day off school!" Because, you know, grade school kids are apathetic and all. (Okay, so it was just me...)

I wanted a day off. XD I didn't not get one. *pouts* Days off are awesome!

I know! I loved getting days off when I was in school. Now, as an adult, I just get several holidays (New Years, President's Day (?), Memorial Day, 4th of July, Labor Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas) in the year. And no Holiday or Spring breaks either! :-(

i get spring break, but not until the spring. i think i get veterans day off and then thanksgiving. then school ends, so 4 weeks of nothing!

I loved this comment!

But insurance, as a whole, is legalized gambling.

I'm speechless!

I know! I didn't know how to respond to that one. I just sat at my desk and thought ... Dear G*d, I didn't just read that!

LMAO!

Maybe that's why part of the street in SF is being cordoned off for an "Italian Pride Day" or something like that.
