I know it may seem like it's never going to happen, or maybe something is trying to tell you not to do this.... ITS NOT ..... it's just your silly insurance company throwing up more hoops for you to jump through, hoping you'll get tired and just quit.... take the last laugh and beat them at their own game, never give up on you
