so I come home to a postcard notification that my gas will be terminated in 5 days because they show use, but not a request for service. Um, I've been here for 6 YEARS!! And yeah, turns out I never activated my gas. 6 YEARS!!!! How do they just now notice and how did I miss that my utility bill was electric only, I thought it was both this whole time. HATE HATE HATE!
We use the latest in scientific technology and state-of-the-art weaponry and you, if I understand correctly, poke them with a sharp stick.

yes, it involves me going to an office with 2 forms of ID, my mortgage papers and then getting a bill for 6 years of gas use. I am hopeful that I can work out some sort of payment plan.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Kat, msbelle, you're both ensnared by the crazy.
msbelle, can you now blink very innocently and request service? Or are they going to try and get 6 years of back gas from you?

oh. fuck. I'm sorry.
TO add to the 70s buffista theme (though this was 1980). Look at the wallpaper!

McCain was a bomber pilot. I guess it doesn't make any difference, but I've seen the "McCain was a fighter pilot" thing a lot, so it bugs me.
Frankly, pilot is even stretching it, given that the one that landed him as a POW was the fifth one he'd driven into the ground.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

OMG, that's crazy. Sorry.
Now my boss has the 101 fever, so I may end up going to a fancy meeting tomorrow instead of her.

I had one of those cakes, Kat! Except my mother painted the doll with browning (which from googling might be a Jamaican product--it's used in cooking to brown stuff). Because that's my mom.

It's hilarious how much Noah looks like you, Kat!

ita, it's kinda been one of those weeks for me, so I doubt I could swing batting eyes - I am closer to a women on the verge and will likely laugh like a look and/or cry. But yes, once they see my home ownership started 6 years ago, they will want me to pay up.
