ok - the person I was talking to is a texas BBQ person. She had no ideas of the variety of sauces
and she means beef
so she didn't even go the the pulled or chopped pork debate.
and I didn't even know why people liked BBQ so much 'til I had a vinegar based sauce...
Though I like sweetish red sauces for chicken - but I don't know if chiken really counts.
I have kind of a stupid question. the only bill I don't have set up for online bill pay is my rent, which is kinda dumb as it is the bill I'm most likely to forget because they don't mail me a handy envelope saying, "yo dumbass, rent is due!"
I've had a couple narrow misses.
But all my other bills are just there in the computer, and so I assume they receive payment electronically. Do they mail my landlord a check? How does that work?
yup - that is wht they do if they don't have a way of getting efunds. and it works - but it takes a couple days longer.
Citibank mails my landlord a check. Your bank probably does too, because check-mailing allows them to debit your account days, if not weeks, before the check is cashed.
That's the other side of the coin, though; you have to allow your bank to debit your account with enough time to mail the check. So if you get paid on the 1st, you might have it debited on the 28th every month, which cuts it close for some people. It's balancing the risk of forgetting to pay your rent with the risk of being short by the 28th.
Looks like it's 57 and foggy outside my back door.
Dear David,
YOU SUCK.
Lovens,
Spontaneously Combusting in Cincinnati
My electric bill is spontaneously combusting, I know that.
And I just looked and my car is sitting in full sun and so the lure of going places with effective a/c just got dampened by the prospect of melty car.
Hmmm. It's lovely and 70-ish here right now. 50% humidity, but still very nice after the oven it's been. All of the fans got turned off for the first time in months.

Thanks for the info. I think I'll call my landlord on Monday and ask if they receive funds electronically. If not, I'll just continue to mail, because I know I'll not be short on cash.
I'm sitting outside, enjoying the nice cool breeze. Don't really need it, since it's only about 80 here, with almost no humidity.
