Not an official 'whine' per se...well, maybe more of a dilemma/concern. Remember that old axiom "Careful what you wish for?" Well, I think I'm there now.

Here's the deal...I recently purchased a very high-end super expensive sewing/embroidery machine that retails for 8K - yes, you heard me right, 8K - tho that's not what I paid, but still paid mega-bucks! Now, here's the problem...I want to go away for a week or two, but am paranoid that someone might break into the house and steal it - oy vey!!! So, in a sense, it's like being a prisoner in my own home, or like being shackled to the machine...taking it with me is not an option - way too big, and who the hell wants to do that anyway???!!!

So I called my insurance company today to find out about it. They're calling me back tomorrow or Thursday to let me know what my options are. But I'm betting that they're going to tell me that my premium will go up if I want my insurance to cover the machine, ugh!! Ok, so that's my whine or groan, if you will....guess by comparison to other's whines, mine isn't all that important, but it is to me...what to do? Guess I'll know after I speak to the insurance people. Gad, you're damned if you do, and you're damned if you don't!!
