I'm thinking dark jeans, a zip up hoodie, and a wool hat. But what do I know.

This sounds reasonable.  Mrs. SLB is thinking boots, dark jeans, sweater.

Is he planning on a having the hot tub going?

Thanks.  See according to this website, I should be wearing a coat or something.  So confused.

Is it going to be cold where the party is hosted?  If not, wearing a coat would be kinda dumb, no?

I wound up taking a cab both ways, to the tune of about  $50. I am the worst.

Seriously, I could use some suggestions if anybody has them.  Found a fashion website I'm trying to comprehend.  Was REALLY hoping that apres ski= cat shirt.  This is a fund raiser, won't know anyone and a class of people I'm not used to hang with.  For example, Sac, according to the evite website, the Schnuck's aren't going to be able to make it.

I can't make it either. Sorry gb.

Same here.  Been rear-ended at least twice (save your jokes, Gaffagain) and lost one car to a flood and they've always been easy to deal with.

I think insurance companies in general suck but Geico sucks no harder than any other.

boots, jeans and a sweater sounds like very low effort.   Go big.

My wife used to point out that I was a bad parent in front of the kids. That was fun. 

Ugh.  Sorry, man.

If it makes you feel any better, my ex said to my very young kids:

"Don't listen to daddy.  He's being a (female dog) right now."

and then another time:

"I hope when you grow up you don't marry a jerk like your father."

Nix the coat then.  Go with your cat shirt, ski goggles on the head and a light, fashionable scarf.  You'll be the Belle of the Ball.

I like Geico too.  Been with them 5 years. No claims other than windshield repair.  But jacking my rates up for one ticket in 10 years?  Seems a bit much.

Not normal.  I'm in the insurance world and can tell you that in most cases if you don't make changes to your policy we wouldn't even know there was a ticket.  If we do make a change, we'll see the ticket on the driving record within the policy.  Minor tickets like speeding etc. wouldn't move the needle at all unless you are new to our company or a higher risk category (super young or old).  Major violations like DUI or reckless driving would be brought to the attention of the company by DMV and of course result in adverse action.  My peers at other companies have said their systems are similar.

I liked them when they were my carrier too.

Recently, I had the pleasure of having one of their insureds ram into my wife's practically new parked car. 

They were fine about the repairs but should have declared the vehicle a total loss. Now they are being real pricks about a legitimate diminished value claim. So we are suing their insureds and their chinzy (chinsee? chinsie?) cheap asses. We will probably get more than they were offering in settlement, but probably only enough to cover our legal fees. But dammit, the adjuster was so smug and dismissive I still think it will be worth it.
