Hey, Freehold! How've you been?
I am doing....
I cant believe I didn't post about it sooner(actually, I blame the summer heat for that...105 with the heat index yesterday. I literally passed out from the heat)., but after 4 years, I finally have my bike back.
She has been modified to carry better brakes, larger wheels, better lights and everything.
The only modification I have yet to make is cutting off the bullhorns as due to changes in bike lane paint, I have a MUCH narrower passage and do not want to break someones side view mirror. I could also use a new seat and maybe a bell, but bells really arent my style.
But my god.
She is PERFECT.
PERFECT.
My mom would call me a banana. Yellow on the outside, white on the inside, because of my preference for western style cooking (hey, there's less prep work!)
And western drinking habits.
And because I speak English instead of Chinese all the time.
my best friend is a noted egg.
I was called a Cadbury for a while myself...
:) But I'm sure a Y-Wing would be better. :DHey, Freehold! How've you been?I am doing....

the first thing I would do is buzz Orthos house.
But only if scint was there.
A lot of you are in insurance/law/etc.
So do you all hate shredders and wish they would die or what?
My insurance statement: 2 double-sided pages of personal and account information, then 10 (TEN) double-sided pages of ads, legal disclaimers, privacy information, and so forth.
And on EVERY SINGLE ONE of those "useless" pages is all of my account information printed in fine print along the edge, as if it would ever fundamentally matter to whom such a piece of paper would belong. So I have to shred them all.
Why you gotta hate shredders so much?

I WISH I had that level of security...
Nothing quite like family.
Without question. Is my sister tactless and tasteless? Frequently.
She has this obsession with calling out my mother's family's WASP insularity... they eat nothing with any kind of seasoning or spice (or flavor, to be honest) other than salt and pepper, won't try anything outside of their narrow little box, won't explore anything the rest of the world has to offer, and turn up their noses at the suggestion that it might actually be good.
Does she say so non-offensively? Of course not. She's my sister.

now I REALLY want to get your parents the greatest food ever made by mankind.

Does the insurance co have an electronic delivery option?

Hmm… NH..your question. Sorry this is going to be long.
Here’s an honest reply. Some of our vendors ask for our standard terms and conditions to be amended. (Can’t pay our excessive insurance etc.)
Now as long as they aren’t going on the Vessel, I’m more or less fine with it, since any accidents that happen while the workers are travelling to the warehouse to drop stuff is their problem. But once it’s on our Vessel, its our problem (our property), unless we have terms and conditions saying otherwise(like a knock for knock clause – you take care of your own people for anything that happens to them and any damages they cause, we take care of our own people for anything that happens to them and any damages they cause). Vessels are dangerous places where there are lots of ways to get hurt (I’ve heard of someone falling to his death while cleaning some tank).
So in that case, our standard Terms and Conditions are amended to put the vendor’s details, as well as the date it was amended, for our tracking.
And what’s the easiest way to make sure that the terms and conditions (that are more favourable to the particular vendor) then our usual standard, aren’t pulled out and reused? We put the vendor’s details on it, on every page. So basically even if some other vendors got a copy of those terms and conditions, if they are not that particular vendor that we tagged it to, they can’t use them.
For personal insurance it would probably be the exclusion clauses. For example if a person had cancer, the critical illness plan would probably not cover cancer(unless the doctors have proven that the cancer is gone and hasn’t come back after a 5 year period etc). So if your details are not put into every page, what would happen if someone who got cancer(and his critical illness policy doesn’t cover cancer since it hasn’t been 5 years etc), got his hands on your critical illness insurance policy that covers cancer and switches it with his own critical illness policy. Then he gets cancer, and tries to make a claim.
(We assume that the insurance company is really shoddy about their records keeping, maybe their hard drive/cloud crashed, a fire destroyed documentation on their end)
What’s stopping him from successfully claiming against the insurance company with the doctored documents, since the insurance company has lost the original documents?
Also about sticking more detailed terms and conditions elsewhere - I always felt it's a bit shady and called out insurance service providers on it. Everything should be in the agreement and not stuck in some website, because if it isn't - how can the offerer know the terms and conditions and give a valid acceptance if he has not the opportunity to review everything?

My mom would call me a banana. Yellow on the outside, white on the inside, because of my preference for western style cooking (hey, there's less prep work!)
And western drinking habits.
And because I speak English instead of Chinese all the time.
my best friend is a noted egg.
I was called a Cadbury for a while myself...
I'm not good on American slang. I tried Google but answers were not very clear. (They were talking about people being good eggs). Could you explain what exactly is a Cadbury and a noted egg? If it doesn't make you upset explaining, of course.

Bonito is smoked tuna flakes. The tuna is smoked so long that it becomes as hard as a block of wood, then they shave off the flakes to make soup stock or as garnishing for food like Tofu, Takoyaki.
I take my Takoyaki without mayonnaise and honestly I don't Takoyaki much because I feel it's too much carbs.
Also I prefer to hammer out the Terms and Conditions as much as possible hoping to advert future misunderstandings in PBPs, so my GM page is kinda long.
I think of PBP as an agreement. GM offers to run (whatever), players by agreeing to play, have accepted whatever expectations and house rules that the GM has in play. I try to be as clear as possible in stating my expectations of the players (the terms and conditions) of the agreement. If you don't like my terms and conditions, then don't play under me.

Im a (food) chameleon. Wherever I go I try to blend in with the locals and try funky stuff. Within the limits of my taste (sour, spicy, bitter). It is very rare for me to outright refuse something. I'll probably try it, then tell you honestly, sorry, ain't my kind of thing. Or go, oooh that's interesting. Pass me another.
I've heard there was a fear factor episode on Balut.
Actually the yolk tastes a bit like stir fried fish eggs.

Think in terms of your explanation of "banana".
Cadbury - this is a "candy" that I find disgusting. However, the most common variety is at Easter time. It's a chocolate shell with a creme "egg" in the middle. Therefore, he's been called Black on the outside and White in the middle. Very similar term to your use of banana.
Egg - This would be White on the outside, Yellow (yolk) on the inside. Usually used to reference White guys who are really inundating themselves in Asian culture. A Reverse Banana, if you will.
Edit: I took too long to type.

Ah, it's State Farm. I'm sure they do. Every other company just auto-opted me in. "Warning! We're switching you to e-delivery unless you check this checkbox!"
Stupid old-fashioned State Farm!

Looking to replace Gran, are we?
CY already had a cap bot do that.
Don't have the computer out, or I'd link to it.
How hard is it for people to understand that I work the f!+&ing night shift and my sleep schedule is screwed up, so text me instead of calling me because if you call me you might wake me up? And to add insult to injury, the dogs will wake me up at any time for various reasons (mailman, kid knocking on the door, a leaf blowing around three blocks away, ect, ect, ect), plus my Mom can't drive right now, so I have to drive her everywhere, making it that much harder for me to get some sleep. Plus it is bright, it is noisy, and people are awake and busy.How bad is the heat by you? Are you surviving?
It has only been in the mid to high 90s here in Savannah. Perfect weather for you. Shall I send it up your way?
~grins~ It will be not fun weather when I try to mow my yard tomorrow and the day after. But it needs to be done.

I got cruise control after my fifth or sixth speeding ticket. So worth the money and every car past that one has had it.

Our Cadbury here does not have cream in it, thus I missed the reference. Asians on a whole aren't that big on dairy products since a higher percentage of Asians compared to Caucasians are lactose intolerant.
