#351049 Overfilling/cracked Aquarium Anyone?. Insurance Cover?.

Posted by dicky7 on 05 April 2016 - 03:14 PM

I am with RAC insurance personal cover and I told them I have fish tanks inside and out and I want them covered ... there was no increase to excess or premiums  and I was very specific  so it went into the policy

 

Covered for any accident act of god or whatever .... I think the best way is have it in writing  then let them try and worm there way out of it

 

Just hope I don't have to use it  ... how can you replace your favourite fishes :unsure:  :unsure:

#349916 Outdoor Fish Tank

Posted by dicky7 on 24 February 2016 - 12:09 PM

We have a rack out side as well had it there for coming on 2 years and no issues whatsoever  31c was the hottest  during the recent heat wave

 

We used to use styrafoam on each tank  but middle of last year we changed to the  sheeting they use in house construction between walls an in the roof space  it is soft and pliable and looks better than styrafoam

 

also it does both stops heater coming on too often during winter  and also will stop the heat as well to a certain degree :)

Two little kids are in a hospital, lying on stretchers next to
each other outside the operating room.

The first kid leans over and asks, “What are you in here for?”
The second kid says, “I’m in here to get my tonsils out and I’m a little nervous.”

The first kid says, “You’ve got nothing to worry about.
I had that done when I was 4. They put you to sleep, and
when you wake up they give you lots of Jell-O and ice
cream. It’s a breeze.”

The second kid then asks,
“What are you here for?”

The first kid says, “A circumcision.”

And the second kid says, “Whoa, Good luck buddy, I had that done when I
was born. Couldn’t walk for a year.”

Employee: Excuse me sir, may I talk to you?

Boss: Sure, come on in. What can I do for you?

Employee: Well sir, as you know, I have been an employee of this prestigious firm for over ten years.

Boss: Yes.

Employee: I won’t beat around the bush. Sir, I would like a raise. I currently have four companies after me and so I decided to talk to you first.

Boss: A raise? I would love to give you a raise, but this is just not the right time.

Employee: I understand your position, and I know that the current economic down turn has had a negative impact on sales, but you must also take into consideration my hard work, pro-activeness and loyalty to this company for over a decade.

Boss: Taking into account these factors, and considering I don’t want to start a brain drain, I’m willing to offer you a ten percent raise and an extra five days of vacation time. How does that sound?

Employee: Great! It’s a deal! Thank you, sir!

Boss: Before you go, just out of curiosity, what companies were after you?

Employee: Oh, the Electric company, Gas company, Water company and the Mortgage company




#349689 Friday Funny For The Ladies

Posted by dicky7 on 12 February 2016 - 04:07 AM

I was due for an appointment with the gynecologist later in the week. Early one morning, I received a call from the doctor’s office to tell me that I had been rescheduled for that morning at 9:30 am. I had only just packed everyone off to work and school, and it was already around 8:45am.

The trip to his office took about 35 minutes, so I didn’t have any time to spare. As most women do, I like to take a little extra effort over hygiene when making such visits, but this time I wasn’t going to be able to make the full effort.

So, I rushed upstairs, threw off my pajamas, wet the washcloth that was sitting next to the sink, and gave myself a quick wash in that area to make sure I was at least presentable. I threw the washcloth in the clothes basket, donned some clothes, hopped in the car and raced to my appointment.

I was in the waiting room for only a few minutes when I was called in. Knowing the procedure, as I’m sure you do, I hopped up on the table, looked over at the other side of the room and pretended that I was in Paris or some other place a million miles away.

I was a little surprised when the doctor said, “My, we have made an extra effort this morning, haven’t we?” I didn’t respond.

After the appointment, I heaved a sigh of relief and went home. The rest of the day was normal… Some shopping, cleaning, and cooking. After school when my 6 year old daughter was playing, she called out from the bathroom, “Mommy, where’s my washcloth?”

I told her to get another one from the cupboard.

She replied, “No, I need the one that was here by the sink, it had all my glitter and sparkles saved inside it.”

Never going back to that doctor again……….. Never.
