Congratulations, Mrs MacNessa!!

Our local area is wet but no flooding, thank goodness.

2 yrs ago I looked into flood insurance but was told by 3 different companies that not being in a flood zone prevented them from selling to me as 10% of my area didn’t carry it. Seems like anyone who wants it should be able to get it!

[oldteen]

Wouldn’t it be nice if we had that option?

[luvie]

It sure would! You guys wouldn’t be having mudslides and dam problems so much if you could just ship it out. :)

[oldteen]

For once we could make everybody happy. Maybe. lol

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Luv. We will NEVER forget.

[luvie]

Oh,heck no. We have people here gripe if it rains 2 days in a row. LOL!

You guys probably have people who gripe if it doesn’t. Can’t win! :)

[oldteen]

True.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Safe journey to and from the VA....did you study for your tests?

Pass them all!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Thanks, my, for the tunes.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Seems like anyone who wants it should be able to get it!

Agreed! Most of the time the insurer would never have to pay out anything.
