Ticked off! @auto insurance rates [Orlando Sentinel]

Orlando Sentinel (FL)

I am really ticked off that my auto insurance rates went up by $25 a month due to an increase in claims statewide during the past year. Why must those of us who have had no claims at all be paying for the sins of those who have?

If you are greedy enough to choose an attorney based on what is promised to you, please do your research on what you will actually receive. Greedy attorneys might take 50-60% because of their fees/expenses plus your medical bills are subtracted. If you end up getting a lot of money, it’s because of your ongoing medical problems. It’s not the lottery.

I applaud the local voters with common sense who knew that they were being lied to and gaslit by flyers mailed by a politician. Public Service Announcement: We are all sick of the demeaning nature of politics and are showing you that this tactic does not work for most of us. If you can’t run on your accomplishments, then don’t run at all. We don’t like liars!

I am ticked off that spring break for colleges and public schools no longer coincides with Easter week! Spring break used to be a great way for families to incorporate our faith and family all in one great week, now it just a secular break with our faith taking a back seat to nothing of value at all and everyone back to school on some of our holiest days. No wonder our values are getting screwed up!

The flip side

Spring is Mother Nature at her best! Bright blue cloudless skies, with trees and plants bursting with bright green foliage. Bees buzzing, butterflies fluttering and young birds making their first visit to the bird feeder. We need to set aside our problems and enjoy the beauty before us. Spring is a time for reflection and renewal. Thank you Mother Nature for your beautiful gift - Spring!
