Statistics show that polyamory is practised in our culture at a pretty high rate as well.

All courts in Malibu are closed for the rest of the week. I assume lots of stuff is going to be slowed down or burned up.

That depends on the overlap, doesn't it?

Recent studies reveal that 45-55% of married women and 50-60% of married men engage in extramarital sex at some time or another during their relationship (Atwood & Schwartz, 2002 - Journal of Couple & Relationship Therapy) I think to put the expectation of fidelity/monogamy on a relationship is great in theory, but it doesn't reflect the reality.

especially the copsical on the right.

Cool thing about contracts is that sometimes they can be re-negotiated. Sometimes not.

it was the dog that really made it a winner.

Hey, wasn't Reagan an actor?

I am not complaining about people being compensated after they were screwed by insurance companies. I am bitching about people WHO DONT GET INSURANCE IN THE FIRST PLACE and then expect the gov't to carry them. That's it.

I'm more of a multi-tasker. But hey, whatever works.

I been called worse.

More like why buy the pig when I can get the sausage for free.

I don't think having a single partner is natural.

Oh, is this obvious to you? Why don't you read my Index flood TR. I not only got introduced into the insurance world, but also the world of FEMA and tax aftermaths of disasters. I am quite familiar with the system, thanks.

Three million bucks for other people's chimneys.

I check all my insurance--it is my second largest expense behind mortgages. I was pissed when people who did not get earthquake insurance here in Seattle got money from the gov't when their chimneys fell off their homes during the last quake. That's fucked. You want someone else to pay to fix your house? Buy insurance. Don't charge the taxpayers--we are not responsible for your home's upkeep. Earthquake insurance is expensive and has huge deductibles. I don't think anyone got paid for chimmney damage - data? Rather than sinking money into a policy that will not pay to replance your house, and that you will likely never use - best bet is to just retro-fit your house. I consider that the best investment. Mixed emotions about the fire thing - normal homeowners insurance can cover that, for relatively low costs. http://www.fema.gov/news/newsrelease.fema?id=7059 Olympia, WA -- Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) officials report today that 50 percent of the homes inspected by FEMA so far sustained chimney damage in the Nisqually Earthquake. Most of the chimney damage found is in King, Pierce and Thurston counties. To date, of the $5.1 million provided by FEMA through its temporary disaster housing program, $3 million has been distributed to homeowners for chimney repairs. "FEMA is providing funds for essential repairs for one damaged chimney per residence," said Bill Lokey, federal coordinating officer for the earthquake recovery operations. "Funds may be made available from FEMA for work on additional chimneys that pose a safety hazard." http://www.seattle.gov/dpd/stellent/groups/pan/@pan/@emergprep/documents/web_informational/dpds_005987.pdf http://bssa.geoscienceworld.org/cgi/content/abstract/94/3/1143 http://64.233.169.104/search?q=cache:8zK2-lyLUr0J:crm.cr.nps.gov/archive/24-08/24-08-4.pdf+seattle+nisqually+quake+damage&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=17&gl=us

There can only be one.

Doh! I forgot to include taxes in my expenses. Make insurance #3.

Good. They can cover my car insurance too.

I've been requesting two house husbands for some time now. Your friend is behind the times.

What does the woman on the left have in her hands?

many people don't insure themselves who live in coastal areas subject to hurricanes or on flood plains, even if they can afford it If you live in a flood plain, you usually can't get insurance (except from the gov't). But fire insurance is basic. And if you don't own your home, you have to be insured anyway. So if you own your own home outright, why would you not insure your investment? I don't get it.

That's the other job I was going to list on the "What do you do for a living" thread.
