"On a different note, Dan Levitan says that many people in NY are
preferring women piano technicians over men because they don't want some
strange man in their house. That may indicate the need for more women
technicians. It could also mean that men techs need to be less
"strange".   :- )"

So that means I either have to have a sex "reassignment" operation or a
strangectomy.  Great.  I have no idea which one would be the more
expensive or arduous.

	Jeff,

	How much does "disability insurance" cost? What does it cover?
Would Brent Fischer have been covered for his hearing loss? It brings a
lot of questions to mind.

	BTW, The LDS Church hasn't gone to fingerprinting, but they are
now requiring "two deep leadership" which means that no adult can be
alone with a minor. (It's not world wide, yet.) Also, there is a policy
being considered that no adult may sit a kid on his/her lap. That will
certainly make the nursery (1-3 years old) challenging when a kid falls
and needs holding by the "mom" that is in the nursery. Ridiculous! A
shame. (Although, if my kid had been molested I might feel different.)

	Agreed, Jim.  I may sound a bit bitter because I went through
the same thing -- UCD informed they would require those things.  I
politely said "Fine, but of course I'll need to charge you accordingly."

	Jim, Jeff, Wim, all,

	It is my understanding that since the lawsuits broke out against
the Catholic church over child molestation, that there are now seminars
for lawyers to attend to learn how to sue churches.  We now have to
agree to federal background checks just to teach sunday school to
children.  So, I am convinced that churches are requiring this kind of
protection for anyone who might come under their roof while a child or
anyone else who could be a victim of any kind of malicious intent is
present.  It is indeed a different world.  Will church members start
having to carry liability insurance to attend services?

	Not sure I understand the workman's comp requirement, though.

	I do invest the few extra dollars per paycheck for the extended
disability coverage.  The state covers short term disabiliity.  I used
to sell insurance, and I think it is a smart few bucks to spend.  We
once were taught that statistics are that you are 7 times more likely to
become disabled than to die prematurely.

	If you're looking at that highly advertised product, I'd do some
shopping around. That duck costs a lot of money and its got to come from
somewhere.
