Koresh and the one in South American - all fits the pattern God, grant me the strength of eagles wings, the faith and courage to fly to new heights, and the wisdom to rely on his spirit to carry me there.

|)onna,

Well, yes, the "in-breeding" probably contributes. And some very un-healthy

family relations (for lack of a better word) in addition with that.

They do seem to be a "church" built solely on hatred, and I think that speak

volumes about them as persons. A Swedish theologian that I enjoy reading

once said (or wrote, as the case may have been) that: "Every limit you put on

God's love, is in reality the limit of your own love, for God's love is perfect and

ever abounding" (or something along those lines). Not mentioning it to

start a discussion on religions, only because I think that is very true: If a

group, as in this case, presents a God that is all about hate, then that only

means that hate is what their own hearts are filled with.

Glad to hear the panic attacks have passed!

Insurance companies, they sure are something, huh... I don't know about

American insurance companies, but here in Sweden, any work done in a

bathroom must be done by a accredited professional for the insurance to apply.

And yet a study showed that bathroom damage due to faults in installation

(or other) work done (usually moisture damage), is twice as common when

the work is done by a accredited professional compared to when it's done by the

house owner. Go figure...

Then again, we have been pleasantly surprised by our pet/veterinarian

insurance several times. They make their payouts swiftly and with very

little paper work required, and a few times they have even payed more than

we had expected them to. I think that as of right now they have actually

payed us more than we have payed them (one of our previous cats had a

heart condition that cost the insurance company a lot...).

Which reminds me, another pleasant surprise in the financial department:

We went by train for the Christmas holiday with my mom and the rest of the

family. Snow (and a LOT of it) caused a delay of 5 hours on our way to my

mom's (meaning that instead of arriving in time for a late supper the night

before the Swedish Christmas – which is Dec 24 – we arrived around 3 a.m.

on the morning of Dec 24, not exactly rested...).

My sister said we should make a claim with the "travel time insurance"

that the government owned train operator (SJ) has (in short, it means that

should your travel time be extended with more than 30 minutes compared to

the time table, they will compensate you). We said that it would be no use

as the delay was due to the snow, and they, as a rule, don't compensate

for delays that is weather related (since the weather is "not under their

control"). But she said we should at least give it a shot, and we agreed.

On our way home we were about 50 minutes delayed (still due to the snow).

well file a claim for that trip too (the policy is: a delay longer than 30

minutes, but less than 60, will be compensated with 50% of what you payed

for the tickets, and a delay of 60 minutes or more will be compensated with

a 100% refund).

comment about the sum being 100%, when it should have been some 75%,

a cheerful: "Well, what's a few minutes."...

's explanation is that since this heavy snow hit Sweden during the days

when most everyone was traveling to and from holiday celebrations, they must

have been handling an enormous amount of claims for delay-compensations,

and somewhere along the way, they just grew tired of counting and stared to

pay out 100% to all...
