Breast Cancer, Your Diet and Insurance
Breast cancer is a devastating disease. A good friend got it when she was just 30; she lost both breasts to the disease, but survived. Breast cancer knows no age limits and doesn’t respect wealth or status. In the US, as many as 1 in 8 women will find themselves in a struggle with breast cancer. That could be your mother, your sister or your best friend. It could be you. If it’s in your family history, it will affect your insurance rates. As a result, I think many heaved a sigh of relief when studies…(read more)

iPhones, Apple Care and Insurance
As a writer who uses a MacBook Pro for each and every entry that you see in this blog, I’m a firm believer in Apple Care. However, don’t confuse Apple Care with insurance that will cover your iPhone in case it is lost or stolen. What’s the difference? Apple Care is basicallly “extended warranty”. Now, while I’m not a fan of extended warranty, I’ve actually purchased Apple Care for my MacBook. You might wonder why. Well, the quality of the MacBook is undisputed, but things can still go wrong.

Lawn Chair, Helium Balloons, Travel and Insurance
Here’s one way I won’t be travelling anytime soon: Ken Couch got into a lawn chair attached to 105 helium-filled balloons , and took off for Idaho. While he didn’t make it, he did travel 310 kilometers from home before he touched down on the earth again. This has to be every kid’s dream. What one of us hasn’t dreamed of floating up into the air hanging onto a helium balloon? I am just a little envious, in fact: the trip Couch said, “It was beautiful — beautiful.” Apparently, this was Couch’s second…(read more)

What I Learned from Travel
Well, we have another writing project from Robert Hruzek at Middle Zone Musings. This month’s topic, “What I learned from travel”, has travel insurance written all over it. Do you buy travel insurance? In most cases, you shouldn’t . I certainly learned that from my travels. In fact, I learned this from buying travel insurance specifically for a long trip from Canada to Australia. I was going to be out of my home country for almost a month, and I decided (despite the fact that I was a relatively healthy…(read more)
