School pickup will be a little intense today with the wife having to work. Middle kid gets out at 245, so I have to get her, then drop her off at work at 4. But the youngest also gets out at 4 from volleyball practice. So middle kid will get to work a bit early and youngest will have to wait around a bit for me to get back there. Sheesh!

Oh, and did I mention that every convenient method of travel between all of these locations is closed or backed up because of construction? Thanks, Biden.

You mean they might be inconvenienced having to wait 10-15 minutes?  That's terrible.

Tony....you're going to give us ample warning before shutting the doors, right?
Yeah, I think so. I haven't made any final decisions yet. Why? Do you need to download a bunch of lull pics first?

Does anyone else use Discord here? My kids use it, as I think a lot of kids do these days, and we have a family chat in there, which works out pretty well. Might be something to look into.
I've heard of it. We use a group chat but all the iPhone users give me shit. I've tried to get everyone to use Whatsapp, but it hasn't taken.

Sounds like someone hasn't had teenagers in a little while.

I keep getting Instagram and Snapchat ads for cheaper car insurance, and I know better than to click on them. With that said, I think 35 years is enough with my current insurance company. They've been raking me over the coals for a while now. When I first went with NJM, they were an exclusive mutual company that had the best rates. At some point they became generally available and their prices creeped way up. I've just been too lazy to look into it.

Plus they now have a ton of commercials talking about a lack of mascots, as if commercials without them are free.

I was in the same boat last year, and went with our closest competitor, saved me a pile of money. Afterwards, felt dumb for going years without shopping around.

Any recommendations on how to go about getting competitive quotes without suffering the wrath of incessant & harassing emails, texts, and calls?

Whenever I shopped around, I'd put in a fake email or a phone # 1 digit off from my actual number. Not exactly elegant, but it gets the job done.
