DIFFICULT INSURANCE COMPANY!!!

here it is 1 month after my accident. i have still not settled yet with the other guys insurance company. all i want is a fair price for my trailblazer. they only want to give me $8575 for it...my insurance company told me it's value was $9660...when i told the other company that number the adjuster said "everyone thinks they have won the lottery when they are in an accident". i was shocked he said that to me...i don't think $9660 is winning the lottery. i have spent endless time on the phone trying to resolve this. they told me they would no longer pay my rental after last saturday...i think they thought that would make me settle. NO WAY. i turned the rental in and will drive JZ's subaru until this is over.

i wasn't at fault for this accident but i sure feel like the one being punished.

CRASH!!!

i haven't had the time or energy to write a post in the last few weeks...just when you think things are going well...warm weather has arrived, i spent two days in the studio...and then WHAM! someone hits you from behind. literally. i was rearended two weeks ago. my suv was towed from the scene. luckily i wasn't badly hurt...lots of nasty bruises, sore all over and whiplash. now i am waiting on the insurance company to appraise my trailblazer...the body shop thinks it is totalled. i have spent countless hours on the phone with insurance companies, the body shop and Enterprise rentals. now i am faced with the daunting task of purchasing a used vehicle...mine was paid for and i dont want to have a car loan right now. i loved my trailblazer...but with the outrageous price of gas i am thinking i should buy something economical to drive. then i think how will i get by without something big enough to haul clay, pots and occasionally my wheel. needless to say i am feeling a bit overwhelmed.
