Hate to be pedantic (no, that's a lie, I love it) but "Desserts" has 3 s's.Touché
Between 1975 and 1993, my uncle, David Clarenbach, represented the 78th District in the Wisconsin State Assembly. During his last few years in office, he debated frequently with his opposite number from the 54th District, Gregg Underheim.
After one such debate, Underheim had gotten characteristically wound up, and had ended his short speech with, "[something]...Gregg Underheim. And that's "Gregg" with TWO 'G's." My uncle, never one to pass up the opportunity to make a joke, leaned into his microphone and added, "Actually, Gregg, your name has 3 'G's."

Man, that takes me back. During my college days, in the fraternity house, one of my brothers had a Sega Genesis and would entertain us with Sonic games.
Memories, light the corners of my mind
Misty water color memories of the way we were
Scattered pictures of the smiles we left behind
smiles we gave to one another
for the way we were.

Hey there Rysky. Glad you are still around.
Sorry to hear that Aeglos.
If it makes you feel better, I once had 2 cracked windshields in 3 DAYS.
Yes, Same windshield, on the same car. ;P
My service glass company and my insurance were so confused. :)

Well, this is no better!
My windshield is still cracked. It's spreading slowly, thank goodness. I don't have the funds to replace it.
I was lucky, both times it was NOT due to an accident, so my deductible didn't kick in. So basically I got my windshield replaced twice in 3 days at no cost. (Other than my usual monthly insurance payment) ;P
it's funny, I don't recall what caused the first crack, Probably a rock that chipped/cracked the windshield and it spread. So I got it replaced.
Not 3 days later, I Was then driving on the expressway at night, and I believe a white bird got hit by the semi in front of me. Because something white and feathery (which left a white/oily residue on my car) came flying over the top of the semi, and plowed into the top of my windshield before I could react. THAT was not a small crack, but a shattered windshield. If it had hit in the middle of the windshield instead of the top, it probably would have ended up in my lap! ;P
I had bad rock chips spreading twice in one year (my commuting highway was under construction). I had them replaced by a company that came to work and did it and turned it into insurance for me.
My insurance company dropped me. Those were my only two claims in like 15 years, and they dropped me because of them.

Check with your insurance, it might cost less than you think to get it replaced.

Yeah, that's how our old one went.
"Claims made" was the reason given. Casue f&~$ you for actually using what you pay for, that's why.

Didn't see this. Didn't you get new insurance?

Damn... your state insurance laws must suck if they can do that. Over the years I may have collected more from insurance than I paid into it. But I have the same policy over all that time. Totaling a new car every couple years ends with big payouts.

Yeah, we only have insurance because we're required to have it.

if they dropped you in that circumstance, you wanted a better insurance company anyway.
Somebody used a predictive text interface to randomly generate a fake segment of Dan Carlin's Hardcore History, and it is a thing of terrible beauty. Make sure you listen to the audio clip-- the guy does a spot-on Dan Carlin impersonation:

OI,
Yes. This. :/
There should be a law against companies dropping you for actually USING the services you PAY them for! ;P
I'm fairly certain that my insurance company has gotten much more from me than I have ever gotten from them.
BUT my daughter has her learner's permit. THAT could change any day now,... ;)

I love Hardcore History. This...well, it's kind of funny, but it doesn't have that je ne sais lulz of true LOL humor. (IMO natch-humor, like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder)

Another lurvely day in the Hole...
This has been a bad shift for getting things done
And a school day to boot
and a rainy day
On the up side I got a rebate check for $13 dollars from an old insurance policy.
I had bad rock chips spreading twice in one year (my commuting highway was under construction). I had them replaced by a company that came to work and did it and turned it into insurance for me.
My insurance company dropped me. Those were my only two claims in like 15 years, and they dropped me because of them.
Geico did that to me with my homeowner's insurance because of a Hurricane Sandy claim. I'm now with Lloyds of London. I live in New York.
Insurance companies can be ridiculous.

I'm now with Lloyds of London. I live in New York.Wut.Insurance companies can be ridiculous.Pretty much.
Fun fact about Lloyds. It was originally one of London's first coffee houses when coffee was still a newfangled beverage. The new drink was a favorite of sea captains who would congregate there. They took to betting on whether or not a ship would return from its voyage to pass the time. Eventually, some captain got the bright idea of betting against his own ship, thus insuring him some money should his ship not return. Thus the insurance industry was born.
Over the past year or so, I've started growing my hair longer than the "'81 Henry Rollins" cut I used to have. On the upside, I no longer look like a Straight Edge half-orc, but on the downside, I'm starting to slide into the whole "Londo Mollari" look.
I just shave my head.
