My mom just called me in the middle of class (granted we aren't doing anything as I had to turn grades in two weeks ago) to ask if I wanted anythign from Trader Joes. Seriously.
And Kaylee, what the hell's goin' on in the engine room? Were there monkeys? Some terrifying space monkeys maybe got loose?

My electric and gas bill is based on the amount of electricity and gas I use, so it's irritating that nearly all of my water bill is flat fees that have nothing to do with how much water I use.
That's pretty much how my gas bill looks too - the fixed costs and fees far outweigh the actual consumption.

Me? Ecards and a phone call. Sucks to not be me.
SRSLY. With divorced parents, since I have to cover both events in one day, it's lunch with Dad and then race out to Mom's for giftage (and, frankly, since MY BIRTHDAY IS NEXT WEEK, it's also giftage for *me*) and then dinner with Mom and Stepdad.
3 cards, 2 meals, 1 gift. Sheesh.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Once I'm more seriously employed, it's time for a big gift for the 'rents. But there's no point doing a small gift in the middle of the year. Next year? Hopefully a cruise. C'mon, employment gods!

As long as you're beseeching the employment gods, put in a word for me?

About $100 a month for water/sewer for us. Our city buys water from Kansas City so it's ex.pen.sive.

First, I must point out that Brazil is ahead 2-0. That first goal was beautiful and reminds me of just how much the Brazilian people breathe soccer.
Second, our combined utility bill this month was $205. That's everything but trash, which is $85 for three months and includes recycling.

That's pretty good! Our electricity is going to be hell with this summer. The water and gas are usually low though.

If Sue is around (or other Canadians), do Canadians use government/administration the way we do here in the U.S., or does "government" refer to the present administration, as in Europe?

I think I'm getting off easy: my last water bill was $110. For 3 months. Of course, my taxes are fairly high and the city is still broke.
