Before an adjuster can come and assess the damage to your home and belongings, you'll need to separate out the damaged from the undamaged property. This will make it easier for your insurance adjuster to determine what was actually damaged and how much that damage will cost to repair. It will also help prevent undamaged items from being damaged by water or mold in the damaged property. Your town or county may require you to dispose of damaged items. Do not dispose of anything until your adjuster has assessed the extent of damage. You can compile the damaged property in your garage or yard, if it is safe and feasible to do so. That way your home and undamaged property will not be subjected to any additional mold. This is a crucial part of the insurance claims process. Without proper and thorough documentation, your insurer could deny your claim. Take photographs of any damaged/discarded objects, including furniture, clothing, appliances, and other belongings. Photograph any structural damage, cosmetic/surface-level damage, and any standing water levels, both inside and outside your home. You can also use video footage to supplement your photos if you have a video recorder. Photograph and document any damage to other structures on your property. This may include your garage, tool shed, or swimming pool. Have your electrical system assessed by a professional electrician. Most insurance companies will reimburse you for any necessary inspections. Once again, do not throw out any items until an insurance adjuster has visited your home. In addition to photographing the damage to your home, it's a good idea to keep a running list of all damaged or lost items. Include each item's description, value, approximate date of purchase, and any receipts you may have retained. If your property was destroyed or washed away during flooding, work from memory as best you can and keep a running tally of everything lost, damaged, or destroyed. If at all possible, your inventory should include: the date and place of purchase model number serial number a detailed description of the items the original purchase cost any receipts you may have retained Once you've documented the damage, it may be several days (or longer) before an adjuster can come and assess the damage. This may take even longer than usual if your entire community or region was struck by flooding. It's important to ensure that your living environment is safe and habitable in the meantime. Don't make expensive permanent repairs just yet. That will come after your claim has been approved. Focus on fixing immediate problems, such as managing mold, removing water-logged carpeting, etc. Save receipts from any and all temporary repairs you spend money on. You can submit your temporary repair receipts with your claim for reimbursement from your insurance company. However, ensure that your insurer will cover such expenses first by talking to your adjuster or a representative. If your home is uninhabitable, or if you need to relocate while your home is being repaired, keep a record of those expenses and save your receipts. Once your adjuster is able to visit your home, you should show him around the property and detail all of the damage inside and outside your home. Make copies of both the itemized inventory and the photographs you took, and submit these to your adjuster. Depending on your insurer and the extent of damage in your region, your insurance company may send you a "proof of loss" form before an adjuster can visit. Simply document the damage as you would for an adjuster and include copies of all your documentation. You will not receive any compensation until you have completed a proof of loss form and/or had an adjuster assess your damage. Alert your insurer if you have not been assigned an adjuster after several days. Let your adjuster know immediately if any portion of your contact information changes. . Assuming your insurer will pay for repairs, you should be able to choose any repair firm you want. However, it's important to make clear to each contractor that you will not be able to pay for permanent repairs until the claim is processed. Once you've received a number of bids, show them to your insurance adjuster. He will then agree with one or more of your bids, at which point that contractor can begin working on your home. If all of the bids are too high for your insurance adjuster, you can ask him to negotiate a better price with a contractor. Your adjuster may also recommend reputable firms he's worked with in the past. Be sure your repair/construction company has the necessary building permits before construction begins. Make sure you're completely satisfied with any and all repair work before signing any forms. You may revoke your right to demand modifications or further repairs once you sign that the job is complete.

Article: Smile and be polite. You don't have to make a grand gesture because it will make her feel uncomfortable especially if other people see. Come up with one or two sentences and wait for her response. Speak from the heart and look into her eyes. Say something similar to "I really have fun with you and was wondering if we could hang out more?" or "We laugh all the time and I have such a great time hanging out. I was wondering if you'd go out with me?" Don't stare at the floor or read from a paper. Keep your emotions in check. If she says no, don't get angry and yell or prod. If she says yes, embrace her, smile, and plan out your date. Let her see your enthusiasm but don't go overboard to embarrass her. If she says no, that isn't the end of the world. Not only are there other girls you can meet but you also want to show her that you are mature. She may say no because she's embarrassed and not ready to have a boyfriend yet. She may ask you out later. Don't damage anything or lash out at her if you get rejected. She is entitled to her feelings. Middle school will often have several dances throughout the year. They are a great way to go out with her in a social setting as she expects to be asked out. This relieves any pressure. The vibe in a dance is more suited for you two to get to know each other as more than just friends. It may be difficult to hang out with her amidst all your friends watching and wanting to hang out. Make sure to have at least one or two dances to be alone together or schedule a time for a walk to just talk. If you are very nervous and find it overwhelming to talk to her, you may write her a note to get your thoughts and feelings organized. Make sure you give it to her directly so she knows it's from you and not a prank. Don't give it to her during class or the teacher may make you read it out loud. Don't be nervous about rejection because you won't see her reaction. You may ask her to respond with a note or a simple yes or no. No one is closer than her friends. They will know how best to approach her. Be friendly to them and ask them how you should ask her. As a final attempt, you may ask them to ask her on your behalf. You may also ask your own friends to ask her if they know her better or are more confident with you. Just make sure you rehearse what to say so that your friend is clear. Face-to-face conversations may be difficult so pick up the phone and call her. You may also text her but sometimes it's difficult to get the meaning across. Make sure you have an activity in mind before asking her out this way. You also have to get her number from her friends or directly from her so she'll probably know why you're contacting her. While you don't have to give her something expensive, a thoughtful gift may put you in her good graces. You may give her a cool notebook, a fun pen, a CD, or candy or chocolates. You may also place a note with your gifts so that she knows how you feel. Give the gift directly to her because if you give it to someone else, she may think it's from her and not from you. You may also try to give her her favourite treat. This shows that you have paid attention to her needs and want to make her happy.
