  i confronted my hubby about his lying to my facebook friends.

  as i figured he denied they were lies.

  i asked him that if he could explain how i cut off communication with my sister since it was her who got the restraining order/no contact order and not me.

  Arbols, just as there is no god, there is no evil. There is only what happens. We make judgements about what happens and the Universe become divided into Yin/Yang, Good/Evil, AhuraMazda/Ahriman.

  Just as WE imagine god in our mind, WE assign values to events in the stream of time. Generally, good things are those events that please us or our tribe and evil things are those events that hurt us. We project these value judgements "out there" to rationalize them.

  The universe doesn't care.

  Flood insurance and cover for overland flooding

  by Simon in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  with the huge floods in alberta the news now is starting to cover the issue of property damange and insurance.. we've never really thought a lot about insurance cover for flooding because it became a big issue in the uk about 5-10 years ago with limited land availability leading to building on flood plains and the eventual inevitable consequences and so when we bought over here we didn't buy anywhere that was a possible flood risk.

  our choice seems to have worked out as we've been completely untouched by the recent issues but tragically, others have been less fortunate and apparently few people are covered for 'overland flooding' which is where water enters your house through doors and windows.. it's hard to really know what is fair.

  i understand the reason why insurers don't cover it and the arguments on both sides.. one one hand, we included the flood risk when puchasing a home.

  " but now NN says..."

  I could be lying. After all, there is absolutely no way that anyone could check to see if insurance was available for specific threats. AND I make money every time I mislead the unsuspecting. I use that money to pay for the earthquake insurance that it is impossible for me to have.

  It's all very diabolical.

  The CO and his wife have no home

  i know some have a flat or apartment that they can go to on the odd week off but i believe that the majority have no base to call home.. my parents have the co and wife stayng this week again and i asked my mum about it.

  she says that if they do get the any time off they go to her mothers to stay but thats only every few months.

  i just can't imagine having to live out of a suitcase in someone elses home constantly.. how to they not crack up.

  I agree with hamsterbait 152%!

  Those guys and their wives are living the life THEY SELECTED.

  If it doesn't work out quite as they planned, TFB.

  I have as much compassion for them as they have for the always-in-the-future victims of their imaginary Armageddon.

  " According to our insurance agent flood insurance is almost a waste of money. "

  Everywhere? The stupidity of blanket statements is demonstrated by what your insurance agent said. Clearly for the people in Calgary and Edmonton, flood insurance may have been one of the wisest choices.

  "Who, then, is the faithful and wise servant...?" - NEW ARTICLE

  just wanting to let you know that i've published a new article on my website.. it's called "who, then, is the faithful and wise servant...?".

  given the recent controversy about the "new light" of the wts / jw's about the subject, i decided to look deeper into it and came up with a surprising (even for me) conclusion.. i hope you enjoy.. eden.

  " In other industries the insurance companies wag the dog. In other words, if a costly trend begins, the insurance companies will usually make it so expensive to modify behavior, such as where people build their homes."

  Sometimes people talk as though Insurance Companies were the big bad fat cat capitalists who were profiting from disasters.

  If that is how a person feels about insurance, the advice I would give is "Fine; don't buy insurance."

  Insurance is a business, and profit is the objective of a business. Anyone should know that they are free to start their own non-profit insurance charity if they wish.

  Typical Insurance companies collect premiums from a lot of people knowing that the probability that they will have to pay everybody at the same time is low. The people who work for insurance companies get no pay. Wait, that was a joke! Of course everybody expects to get paid for their work and rightly so. Some of the premiums people pay pay salaries and other operating expenses, some money is paid to the investors who bankrolled the insurance company. Most of the money collected in premiuns is invested with the goal of growing that bankroll, because every insurance compny President knows that someday it is going to rain and the company's customers will have to be made whole to the limits of their policy.

  The history of insurance is enlightening. A major player during the years of the worldwide British Empire was Lloyd's of London. See the movie (1936, Tyrone Power) here:
