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.
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.
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!"
Rent was the first bill I set up online through my bank. For this exact reason. That and the fact that sometimes I think I "know" the address for my landlord. And every time I write it from "memory" my check goes to the Chinese restaurant down the street.
My credit union just mails a check. It does hit my account faster but I don't have to actually remember to write a check and mail it. Tradeoffs.
I'd bring in Owen to cough on her.
But I'm spiteful.
