I need to come vent so I can make sense of the progress/lack thereof/actual reality of my life at this point.

It's been FOURTEEN MONTHS since we were relocated by a tornado, and here's what I know:

• State Farm is still undecided when it comes to the extent of damage/true cost of said damage to our house (which we bulldozed in November '09.)
   
• We have

jeeebus! :(
I read it! :) But fuck. I hate insurance companies. How much do they spend, I wonder, to try to AVOID paying you what they should?
good vibes your way and I hope it is all cleared up soon...

I'll take all the good vibes I can get!

W-O-W! That is some messed up sh*t! I've been on the receiving end of insurance co. shenanigans myself, but never in this area or in this particular way. Feel so sorry about your irreplaceable missing family antiques! Hope you can get some satisfaction before the next millenium. Glad you are at least in a rented house and no longer motel-world. Mostly glad you/hubs/kids survived and brought the most important values along. *HUGS*

Random thought: what if we never had to pay any kind of insurance (for which we get little or nothing back when push comes to shove) and were allowed to save said $$$ every month?! Brave new world, voila.

Bring it on, I'm ready for the brave new world. I've always had that attitude toward health insurance, personally - I've gotten way worse than this from them, to the point that it does make sense to just save the same amount to use for a rainy/sick day!

Oh man, that is terrible!

I really hope things get better, as much they can.

Thanks - I honestly don't mean to whine, things are getting better. It's just that sometimes you get blindsided by something, and it hits you so much harder because you weren't expecting to be screwed from THAT end! (OK, yeah: pun intended!) You gotta laugh when you can, right!
