If you're using your brand new heat pump to cool it, it's because the process of cooling is also dehumidifying.
God, how I love you, Ginger.
I have lost track of all the things she knows.
Inara: So, explain to me again why Zoe wasn't in the dress? Mal: Tactics, woman. Needed her in the back. 'Sides, those soft cotton dresses feel kinda nice. It's the whole... air-flow.

Whatever happened to blaming Canada?
We all want to keep it as a possible "move to" option, and we're afraid they'll close the borders?

Why do you think I have photos of me with bunches of Canadian hockey players? I'm counting on my Bobby Orr action figure and Bourque jerseys to get me safely across the border.

Okay, called Citibank. They had no explanation for the collection demand, and said that the account had been paid in full and closed out on 24 April--coincidentally, the same date as the collection demand.
I requested a written letter affirming the account was paid in full. Suspect that I offended the CR, because I don't believe them when they say I won't get any more bullshit about the account. And I really dislike the fact that she had no explanation for what happened: if they don't know why it happened, how can they promise it won't happen again?

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
When I was in college, I had to pay citibank credit card $5.00 or something like that for a bill.
My bank paid it out as $500. Well, you can imagine that I did not have $500 in the bank.
Boom. 10 checks bounced. And then they bounced again because all the merchants sent them through twice. I had this magnificent balance of something like -$300 after all was said and done.
I made the bank manager send me a letter saying it was their fault for paying out the check wrong and bouncing my check. I also closed my account with them at my earliest convenience when everything was settled.

Because books.
Banks suck. I'm getting closer and closer to keeping it in the mattress, for real.
In other news, have a heartwarming dog story and try not to tear up, I dare you. (Spoiler alert: happy ending.)

Ginger knows a lot. It's impressive.
Consuela, you can also make the collections company prove that you owe that money. But I'm not sure how to get it off the credit report that it shouldn't have been sent to collections!! What a PITA.
Just had a new coworker email saying "Please confirm that Dr[Blahblah] is yours now" and I looked and was like "Um, no. Not on my list. Also, in Georgia. So no." and she got all butt-hurt. Sorry, can't confirm what isn't true!

Amy,
I can't even laugh at that. I'm about there myself.
