Growing older can truly be incredibly stinkish at times.

Last night we got to talk about the wonderfully delight intricacies of home owners insurance. I think I’d rather sit on an ice pick. Cartoons make jokes about Insurance being that last “rite” that you kind of cross into naturally when moving into adulthood.

My dad had some helpful insight into home insurance last night, but I would love to hear any advice from anyone else. Any bad experiences to watch out for? Additional services you thought would be good but ended up being a rip off? Like that buttered bird insurance for those situations where if a person standing exactly 101.2 feet from your house is hit with a falling buttered bird from the sky that the insurance company will pay out 5,000 dollars in stuffing and cranberry sauce?

Absurd? Maybe not. Maybe just a feeling personified when it comes to how ridiculous how much insurance you need in your daily life to survive.

I won’t get into “The Apprentice” too much right now, other than to say, Mr. Trump made the right decision, and “Stupid” - Rosa from season one has about the same amount of insight to offer as the first time round. Double standard. Listen, Kelly knew when to command and when to be quiet and follow. He took criticism and that is what will make him great, his persuasive ego. Jen, blatantly bit the hand that fed her and came off like she knew more than George when it came to how she treated her main sponsor, “Jenworth”.

When that sort of defensive behavior is not present, then you can talk about a double standard because that can be very true, but it was hardly the case this time round.

Oh, and I wrote more but didn’t finish our trip to Kentucky last weekend.
