Very convincing. Makes me completely want to put myself under government control. Please take me to where you can make me unconscious and naked.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

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?

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

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.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Looks like it's 57 and foggy outside my back door.

Dear David,

YOU SUCK.

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.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

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.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

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.

Now tagless for your comfort.

I found the Indiana Meth law website. Apparently you can't buy more than 3 grams of pseudoephedrine at a time. Now I just have to figure out how much pseduoephedrine is in a 118mL bottle of Triaminic (with 15mg per 5mL) and in a 15mL bottle of Infant Tylenol Cold & Cough with 7.5mg per .8mL.

I think the sales clerk was erring on the side of caution.
