Ok, credit reporting agencies have been called and I've emailed my bank because I couldn't figure out what else to do. They are good about getting back to me though.
Ok, am I crazy? I feel like I've been all "don't worry, be happy" today, but I would never ever go this far just because I threw out a bunch of possilbly stealable info. I guess I'd wait until I had some notion that someone might have actually stolen it. I had a fraud alert about seven years back, when someone actually did fuck with my SSN, and it's still causing me hassle. I don't know, I guess I'd rather deal with things when and if they arise rather than cause myself problems in advance.
Don't suppose anyone remembers when it was that we had no heat?
Way too soon for you to have no heat again?
Emily - looks like your heat was still out on Nov. 27th and back on Nov. 28th. Not sure when it went out but I searched "no heat" in Bitches 27 and found a few posts from vw. Hope that helps.
You rock! Thank you.
Oh, damn. That falls in this billing period, which means I really ought to complain to NStar about how freaking high our gas bill is given that we had no damn heat for three days. I was hoping I wouldn't have to do that, since there's almost no chance it'll work.
Except... honestly, what are they going to say? The bill is based on the meter. I guess I just feel like we should get some consideration for having been freezing cold for those days.
Dunno but I have to call the utility people too. My bill is about five times what it should be. Unless the cats are throwing raves since I wasn't home for a lot of the month.
Well, natural gas prices are way up this winter.
The herding of cats is a difficult matter. [link]
That ranks up in my top two or three favorite commercials ever.
It's funny how it has almost nothing to do with the service being advertised....

True. I have the added knowledge, on my bill, that I actually haven't successfully lit the pilot light on my heater yet either. Though I don't think this will help Emily and vw. And it has significantly increased what I spend on candles because I am just people-hating enough not to have called them out for the pilot light issue yet and a few candles a night sort of warms the room up. Or maybe it just looks warmer.

Way, way waaaaaay up. Ours was higher than usual (even though we have a community buying program that probably locked in as low a price for natural gas as we could possibly get this year). We have friends who aren't in our plan who ended up with a gas bill more than twice what ours was for roughly the same square footage house.
Oil spiked and then dropped, and we were filled somewhere in the middle of all that.
But our use should drop a lot with the house empty most of the day, and we set the thermostat lower than it was last year, so we might not feel the pinch. Of course, we're only heating 900 sqft of house.
