Where Was I?

gonzaiOh yeah. Have yet to hear even a peep from the insurance company. Lovely. At least I can drive Mom's car today, driving the van yesterday hurt. Had to do a ton of paperwork for the chiropractor, just in case I do file a personal injury case, and it took them a while to work the knot out of my back.
Meanwhile, a door-to-door salesperson came to the house while I was at work yesterday. She told my mother that she had spoken with me, I thought it was a great idea and my Mom should sign the contract. Lie, lie and lie, of course, I never even heard of these people and I would never say yes even if I had. Then she wants to come inside and 'look at some of your bills to see how much money we can save you.' Has no printed sales materials and doesn't give my mother a copy of the contract she just signed. Gives my mother a handwritten note with the name of the company, her name and the office phone number; the office phone goes to a private voice mail box, only accessible by the owner. The company is not listed in the phone book. I am absolutely livid. I did manage to track down her manager and rip him a new one, to include the 'I work for an attorney who does fraud work' and 'I have the County Police phone number in hand'. He claims he will void the contract, but if I don't have a voided contract in hand by tomorrow I am calling the police. Frakkers looking for older women to take advantage of, snarl.
So last night I passed on the Obamathon and watched Pushing Daisies instead. Already voting for Obama without hesitation, and really needed the goofy goodness of PD. 'You have two brothers!' 'Half-brothers.' 'Together they make a whole brother!'
