Someone came out and fixed the lights. Now I have two lights on at night.
State Farm is not happy with the job that the tree trimmer did. He thinks he did a good job.,..so they are going to meet here.
No news on the surgery date.
Cousin #3 is supposed to come over on Sunday.
Strangest thing == My focus group thingy only lasted 17 minutes; and she said that we were done! I still get paid.
Breakfast - Granola bar
Lunch - Meals on Wheels - Chicken stir fry, rice, 2 servings of veggies with onions (yuck), applesauce
Dessert/Snack - Brownie
Dinner - Turkey/salami/cheese sandwich, low salt chips, cherries
What did you eat yesterday?

That’s funny, WWE Smackdown with the insurance company and a tree trimmer. (In a sad way it’s funny.)
I had the usual for lunch and lentil veggie soup for dinner. Watermelon! Peach applesauce! Yogurt! Fiber!

When I switched insurance carriers last year, I had to have some over hanging branches trimmed. I don't even know if Progressive inspected. It wasn't cheap to get it done

Wow! That was an easy $100. Why does the tree guy have to meet with State Farm?

@LindaOHio so what he did was not good enough based on the insurance?

The State Farm lady suggested that if he didn't see a problem that they should meet; however, he came back out to the house and saw that yes, there were other branches that should come down.

I don't know. We never got into it. They just had me read a list of terms.

Is State farm's assessment riding on how they like the trees?

Yes. There must be no limbs hanging over the house or garage or they will cancel my policy.

Nice job on the focus group.
Short and sweet is always good.
We have never ever had an insurance company make us have trees trimmed.
They have always noted the distance between the nearest fire hydrant was to our home, and I remember when the 2 bridges were out between us and the fire house, years ago, my husband contacted the insurance co. to advise them that we were 20 minutes further as a result of the detour. I remember being at a summer barbeque where the local politician and his wife were, and a friend of ours, who owns a business was asking how long before the bridge work would be completed, as it affected the number of customers coming in. My husband added to it that he had to contact the insurance company, and the politician, who was so clueless, made a statement that he thought it would just be an inconvenience of time not of anything else. He was voted out the next election.

@LindaOHio In Switzerland they sent their gardeners to have the job as they wanted it to be done and then you received the bill.

Glad your lights got fixed and that you'll still get paid for the focus group.
Hope State Farm isn't going to be a pain with the whole tree thing. I've thought about switching my home owners insurance to someone cheaper but decided I didn't want the hassle of having to go through whole inspection thing to get the new insurance. I'll just deal with the premium I pay now
Last night I had a Dolly Parton beef stew (frozen meal) added a baked potato and some snow peas. Sugar free jello with some cool whip for dessert.

It feels good when things get fixed, that is for sure. I am not sure what I ate yesterday. Oh, last night we had hamburgers smothered in peppers, onions, and mushrooms. Half a baked potato.
