They should pay combat pay at middle schools. If the road is bad, things could possibly be thrown up by other cars. It is not worth it for you to go there.

Mine is due on Monday, so I have that to pay next week. That id great that the Ins company will reimburse for the electric usage. Sounds like you are on top of things, which is great. Thanks for your input on the subbing at the ms too. I appreciate it. It's the way I am leaning as well. I have one elementary school I don't sub at that I can add to my list of school where I sub and it's only 3 miles from my house, so a win-win situation there.

If it was the only option, that's one thing. You indicated there are other locations for you to sub, that's what I'd do. On the frugal front, I did my weekly top up at the grocery store today and chanced on some great meat bargains for the freezer. Although I am being so careful with money until my ins claim is totally settled (received 2 checks from them today for a total of $1559 and change) but that's for preliminary costs. More to follow. I asked the claims adjuster if the increase in my electric for using those industrial machines to dry out the basement could be declared and she said absolutely. My deductible is already considered, so another $65 and change to come my way. Come next Mon, all of the electric company claim repairs will be completed and I can file that. really trying to stay on top of all of this, get the repairs done, and move on, see where I am financially as the dust settles. My auto ins. is due for renewal, we're pulling DD off of the bundled policy as she paid off her bank of Mom loan (0% interest) and has to have her own, effective with the renewal for May. Ins agent told me that rates go up Mon, so to lock it in, I have to pay today, which is fine. I called before 12 noon, to remind him,and just followed up via email asking for the updated policy, to pay it on line. As of 4:30, it still wasn't done.
