Hi Dave,


 DD> As have I. Never had renter's insurance, though.

 RH> We have a number of higher value things we'd like to have insured. Had
 RH> to make a claim on it when we had the break in back in 2013 but they
 RH> didn't pay what the jewelery was worth as a number of the older pieces
 RH> hadn't been appraised.

 DD> Never had a break-in. (touches wood) But currently if someone intrudes
 DD> on my home the 3 pooches (including a pit bull mix who is *very*
 DD> territorial) would shred their hindquarters for them.

We blame it on the local post office--we'd put in a mail hold; they
claim they never got it due to a computer glitch. We went away and a
package was left at the front door, mail jammed into the box, all
advertising nobody home. Lost a couple of family heirloom pieces plus
some one of a kind pieces from Israel and a lot of inexpensive stuff.


 DD> BTW - I recommend Healthy Choice frozen steamers when you don't feel
 DD> like cooking. They come in various sizes and were recommended to mr by
 DD> a registered dietician at my doctor's office. I had the Sweet & Sour
 DD> Chicken made with "riced" cauliflower for supper last night. Nice and
 DD> not overly filling.

 RH> Have to take a look at them and see what's in them. Usually we've got
 RH> enough stuff on hand that if I don't feel like cooking, a meal can be
 RH> assembled with bits and pieces of this and that.

 DD> One of my favourites (which I first picked up by mistake) is Chicken
 DD> Linguini With Red Pepper Alfredo. Here's the ingredients:

 DD> Contains 2% or Less of: Modified Corn Starch, Soybean Oil, Nonfat Dry
 DD> Milk Red Pepper Sauce, Salt,  Flavorings, Xanthan Gum, Guar Gum,
 DD> Distilled Vinegar Red Pepper, Salt

 DD> That's quite a list. But I don't see any no-no stuff like HFCS, etc in
 DD> there. And it is tasty.  Bv)=

 RH> Have to see what Steve thinks of it. Generally tho, I have enough odds
 RH> and ends of stuff in the freezer, fridge and pantry that a no fuss meal
 RH> is easy to put together. I always have eggs on hand, both raw and
 RH> steamed; bread; fresh and/or frozen vegetables............... a lot can
 RH> be done with a bit of this and that.

 DD> It's a matter of convenience. If I'm banging recipes into the Meal
 DD> Muncher, or otherwise occupied I can toss a Healthy Choice into the
 DD> nuker for six minutes - et voila' - supper. And Jasper or Izzy (K9
 DD> dishwashers) will pre wash the dish.

Between the 2 of us, usually someone is available to do a quick meal. If
we're out, sometimes we'll swing by and get take out from any one of
several favorite places instead.


 RH> Sigh! Small chance of seeing her now probably.

 DD> I keep her updated on the goings-on at the Zone. One of her favourite
 DD> District Managers has returned to this area to replace a manager she
 DD> didn't care much for.

 DD> Too bad she's married (to a nice guy). I once told her that if I were
 DD> even 30years younger and she wasn't already taken .......

Sigh! (G)
