PLUS ... I was writing this blog using the Whitco sign when someone from Whitco called. It was freaky. Is my unpublished blog being monitored by local insurance companies and NOT the government, as I had suspected?<br /><br />No. In an unrelated action, I had almost but not quite filled out an online form on Whitco's website. I might be moving to a house soon and I haven't a clue how much homeowners (!) insurance is. Although I never hit ENTER, they got my information, and Chris of "insurer's" fame called me right while I was writing this blog. It terrified me, so I'm laying low, staying under his radar, hiding out.Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11569542345623047891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1504159935075650335.post-48141010946548248782010-02-12T08:05:58.441-05:002010-02-12T08:05:58.441-05:00Chris said...

Knowing how "writer's" are, I can't believe you haven't yet pounced on that, Babs. Someone call the Apostrophe Police!<br /><br />Cheers,<br />Steve R.<br /><br />I'd also like to add that The Apostrophe Police makes a spiffing band name.

Not that it makes things any more consistant, merely that if you're going to rant do it with all the facts. I agree, it should be "HOUSE" if it's going to be "AUTO". "Automobileowner's" is just way too unwieldy.Chrisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1504159935075650335.post-68785952879141150332010-01-19T01:15:10.984-05:002010-01-19T01:15:10.984-05:00Since it is now Tuesday morning, I guess I am too ...Since it is now Tuesday morning, I guess I am too late, tardy, slow, belated, behindhand, dilatory, in abeyance to commemorate the occasion.flahooshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17966973264053007626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1504159935075650335.post-87560011053947882432010-01-18T15:13:04.961-05:002010-01-18T15:13:04.961-05:00Okay, all right, so be it, amen!Okay, all right, so be it, amen!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09799283682809954128noreply@blogger.com
