I am the fly who dreams of the spider

yeah, I have to call them, again, and work something out. Because even if I switch providers, it'll be subcontractors who take the readings from the same company.

But, seriously, how can a company come in, take money overpaid by me from a company overestimating my bills, and then threaten to keep it like I'm the one paying penalties for being overcharged?

So the Md bar is taking place at the convention center. At the same time as BronyCon. Stressed out baby lawyers and cosplay. Whee!

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

Can you call your local utility regulators to find out if they are allowed to do this? And if they are, or even if they are not call your local papers and local news and talk shows. Get them some bad publicity.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

It smells like kerosene in my apartment. My stove is definitely off, and I don't think it's quite gas smell, anyway. What to do?

Edit: I have decided to leave the windows open and generally trust the CO detector.

I'm trying to think of what else smells like kero. Regular gas, nsm. Natural gas doesn't actually smell like much, they add something akin to skunk to it. Are there renovations going on in your building? If someone is using a solvent, that could be it. Or if someone is burning torches/cintronella candles outside?

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Can you ask a neighbor to come sniff?

Our wings are not tired

Can you ask a neighbor to come sniff?

Out of context this could be a rather disturbing sentence.

They are doing renovations on a couple of units downstairs, but now? That seems weird. I think it's dissipating, at any rate.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Maybe you should light a candle to get a better look?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Maybe someone spilled something.

I know they add garlic odorant to propane (that was sort of part of my dad's job for a while, he has a big old story about the time some not-yet-odorated propane got out into the pipeline and he was getting flown around in helicopters to literally sniff out how far the problem had gotten) but I don't know about natural gas, except that something is added because otherwise no smell and that would be very dangerous. I don't think I even know what kerosene smells like, which is hamstringing me in brainstorming what else could cause that smell.
