msbelle, I wouldn't. That's too much.

Oh no, Zenkitty! Do you have any way of getting in touch to sue the non-painters?

Ha! I have their phone number! Which they don't answer, and don't reply to voicemail. I'm done leaving messages; they know damn well they took my money and never did the work, and me nagging them isn't going to make them do what they ought to do. Suing them would be futile; they don't have any money. Except, y'know, mine, which I'm sure is already spent and gone. I hired them because I knew they needed money, and they'd done a good job for me before on a couple projects; I really did not expect them to just disappear like that. Oh well. Lesson learned, again; stop trusting people, and never pay up front.

I'm all Boy George, George Michael, what? It's blurring for me.

I don't care all that much, but I was hoping for a girl. Maybe "George" can be the first M2F monarch?

I am having this issue as well. Looking at the available king names, I think George as well, but it would be nice to have a new name. Interesting that Elizabeth ended up Elizabeth, because when she was named, she was not close to the line of successsion, right?

Zen, it sounds like you have a personal history with these people, but I think you should take them to small claims court all the same -- depends on how much time & effort & (additional) stress it will cost you, and that's a call that you have to make.

If they did it to you they'll do it to others, so the sooner they have a court record, the better.

If you get a judgment against them in small claims court, you can get the money whenever they get money.

I am waffling on the optional 10 year parts warranty. It's another $800.

Your money is probably better spent on an annual service contract. Annual maintenance (and changing the filter) are the main factors in HVAC longevity.

Third, at the time. But then Edward hadn't married yet nor had children. Which didn't happen, but that would have bumped her down further.

Modern royal families are like Game of Thrones without the bloodshed. Medieval royal families were like Game of Thrones with the bloodshed. You just have to imagine that the occasional thought of "a dagger would be so useful right about now" goes through a royal head.

msbelle, I'm sorry about the unwanted ac replacement.

Me, I'm getting mental refreshing the WF accounts because it took until this afternoon for the new mortgage to show up on it. Except, the old mortgage is still there and not paid off. Which, I know there's a lag, but closing was LAST monday, and the damned money is changing hands within THE SAME INSTITUTION. GET IT TOGETHER ALREADY.

I'm sure it will be fine, but looking at a statement that I have a quarter million in loan is freaking me out.

I was wondering earlier -- is this the first time that there's been a 4-generation line of succession for royals? Baby WhatsHisRoyalName may have a long time to prepare.
