Question from Kevin: I read something the other day that said Greenland is the largest island in the world.

Question from Tammy: I was visiting my mom the other evening and we decided to sit on her back porch for a while.
We both sat down in metal chairs. Her chair had a cushion on it, but mine didn’t.
My chair was so cold that I couldn’t stand it so I got up and switched to a wooden chair.

Why didn’t my premium go down along with the value of the car? [Read more…]

Question from Melissa: Several of my friends and I were talking about all the snow we received this year in upstate New York when someone said they can remember a time when there was snow on the ground in all 50 states at the same time.
None of us believed him when he said that. Is it true? That just doesn’t seem possible. [Read more…]
