We're ditching @StateFarm for our #homeownersinsurance after they abandoned us with a damaged roof. Who do you recommend? @progressive @GEICO @USAA

[Mandy Manley @mandymanley]

@StateFarm Is Lexi Jones even real? Can SOMEONE help us with our roof damage claim? What does it take to get help from @StateFarm?

[Mandy Manley @mandymanley]

We absolutely will NOT have @StateFarm home insurance ever again. After tornado damage, they sent us a check for a few hundred dollars and haven't returned our calls. Looks like we'll be paying for a roof replacement out of pocket. #homeowners #homeinsurance

@StateFarm Several more weeks have gone by, and @StateFarm continues to let us down. Rain is coming this weekend. We’ll see what happens to our damaged roof. Not impressed.

@LunaSea713 @MerriamWebster That's a great portmanteau.

@SassClassNiceAs @MerriamWebster This one gets my vote because it's a word that is also a complete sentence. NO. It's really fun to say when you get the hang of it.

@CetiAlphaFumf @MerriamWebster I struggle with ‘anonymity’ to this day. (My brain says “uh-NOM-nity.”) I avoid this word at all costs and have had to become anonymous to several people because they heard me mispronounce it. 🙃

@jk_rowling It’s cultural appropriation, but as a Kentucky gal, I’m glad to hear it with any accent (even if it does feel a little out of place). Y’all are welcome to use it as far as this Southerner is concerned! ALL y’all and you’ns!

Hubby and I just finished ROOK by @Willothewords and it was delightful to revisit some of our favorite characters from the #Jackaby series! Love the plot, hospital ghosts, and clever dialogue. We can only hope a movie is forthcoming! Well done! 👏👏👏

[Mandy Manley @mandymanley]

@Willothewords @NicolaBarber_VO @AlgonquinYR I’m re-listening to Jackaby, and amazed at how many voices/accents she can parse out. It really feels like different people are speaking! It’s incredible VO work! 👏🎙️📕

@STLDanni Had dinner there the night we got engaged. Sad to see this. 💔

@amber_pulliam Still nothing in my part of NorCo. We’re on day 4.

[Mandy Manley @mandymanley]

@AmerenMissouri We have been ABANDONED by Ameren. STILL no power, no updates, and no crews on our street in Charlack. Elderly people, pets, young kids, ppl with medical conditions stuck in excessive heat. People have lost all their cold food, meds, etc. Shame on @AmerenMissouri!
