来自主题: SanDiego版 - 买life insurance还是买AD&D
应该选life insurance还是买AD&D?AD&D管伤残和死亡而life insurance只管死亡,但
life insurance管病死AD&D却不管。大家有谁买过?觉得哪种好?

我在网上找了一个网站,它给你自动找好多家大的life insurer, 找最低价。
我和ld各保了30年term life with ING, 500k limit, 我500 per year, ld 450 per

这二年term life属于历史最低价。

来自主题: SanFrancisco版 - 关于life insurance
对,why do you want to buy life insurance?
Life insurance能保证你不死吗?能让你死而复活吗?能在你死后让亲人不悲伤吗?都
不能。那你死后拿到一笔钱有什么用?如果你care的人的生活depend on你活着挣的钱
就有用。什么人依赖于你呢?你的未成年的孩子,或许你的父母,或许你的配偶没有工
作能力无法养活自己。你的保额也跟他们依赖于你的程度有关。如果这些情况都不存在
,那你没必要买life insurance。
那些身份问题跟insurance公司的business practice有关,跟你的需求没关系。

来自主题: SanFrancisco版 - 有娃的都买多少life insurence?
Permanent life insurance 也有很多种。不能一概而言。我们买的whole life的就是
flat rate的。到80,90也和现在的rate一样。而且,当时我们也问了如果当时实在没
有收入,按现在的rate也付不起的话,也是可以把现有的钱提出来的。所以对我们说,
whole life的保险就是一个比较长远的saving,买得早,就锁定一个比较low的premium。
所以,要买保险还是要找个比较knowledgeable agent先问清楚个中情况下怎么处理。
我的agent也不错,如果需要,也可以联系我。

when you are between jobs it is the most critical time to have life
insurance and it is also the time you do not have company group life
insurance.
premium depends on your life expectancy, which is related to your age and
health conditions.

2.原创隐喻的可能不止是美丽神话掩盖下的食人事实,还可能暗示宗教和历史。

来自主题: Texas版 - term life跟体重关系这么大?
瘦的人心血管疾病少。对买term life的,赔偿几率少很多。
其实如果你已经买了一些term life了,就可以加一些意外事故保险。
意外险比term life便宜很多。因为生病亡故是不赔偿的。
但是年纪还不老的时候,意外比得病的几率大一些。
我买了比寿险额度高两倍的意外险。这样有三重保险了,
ssa是第一重,寿险第二重,意外险第三重。

原作者Yann Martel在写了《Life of Pi》不久之后,又写了一部作品,

可见他对吃人这个话题耿耿于怀,难以摆脱。这暗示他写《Life of Pi》的真实意图
中确实有写人吃人那一层意思,这层意思起码占50%吧。
说白了,写小说就是一个游戏,他故意要写得亦真亦幻,让那些经历不同信仰不同的读
者们对此作不同的解读。

We ate the children last

The first human trial was on Patient D, a 56-year-old male, single and
childless, who was suffering from colon cancer. He was a skeletal man with

来自主题: Movie版 - Life of Pi 观后感
看完Life of PI最深刻的一个感觉是,不得不向李安致敬。也许我看的电影还不够多,
但我从没有看过一个导演这么用心,这么真诚的在拍电影。不是说拿个故事加几个眩目
的镜头把观众忽悠一下,或是想讲个大道理但最后草草了事。他是一点一滴的想把自己
领悟到的东西表达出来。宗教,自然与人,人性与兽性,没有一个是容易的题材,他自
己也许也没有很清晰的解释,但是他感受到了这种冲突,觉得自己已经在答案的边缘。
这些关于人性的思考,我想最终可能是不能用人类的语言表达的,这部电影对我就象是
一个人在很艰难的用他力所能及的方式,讲述他内心的感受。有的电影是向观众讲一个
故事,有的是试图教育大家一个道理,而这部电影是向观众剖析自己的思考。后来我看
柴静对李安的采访,那里他多次提到赤子之心,也许这就是我感到的他的真诚吧。
所以每个人看Life of PI都有自己的解释。我看Life of PI想到了贝多芬的第九交响曲
,“欢乐颂”。在经历苦难与天斗与地斗之后,终于天人合一。没有谁战胜谁,生命的
本质就是接受这些苦难和冲突,在苦难中保持高贵。而这些也就是宗教的意义。

第一次翻唱英文歌,中间有几句没跟上,大家请轻拍。
YOU LIGHT UP MY LIFE (Debbie Boone)
So many nights I sit by my window
Waiting for someone to sing me his song
So many dreams I kept deep inside me
Alone in the dark but now
You've come along
You light up my life
You give me hope
To carry on
You light up my days
and fill my nights with song
Rollin' at sea, adrift on the water
Could it be finally I'm turning for home?
Finally, a chance to say hey,
I love You
Never again to be all alone
You light up my life
You give me hope

I want you to be part of my life
I still remember the first time when we met
Your face was shining like the sun, with your smile
I didn't hear a word you said to me
My heart was pounding so fast I couldn't breath
I still remember the first time when we kissed
It was a hot hot summer night, the stars were bright
Your breath on my face, your lips were so soft and sweet
I felt like melted I couldn't stand on my feet
I want you t... 阅读全帖
