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.

Interesting that Elizabeth ended up Elizabeth, because when she was named, she was not close to the line of succession, right?

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.

Goes through my head occasionally too.

(I'm sure there are but I don't feel like looking it up but...) are there any other Ethelred's other than the Unready?

Because that doesn't seem like one you'd want to name your kid after.

Recap: So I stayed up to 2:30 this morning to get some documents to two different people so they would be on the people's desk at 8 this morning. Went to sleep, but was awakened by damn fighting dogs at 7:30 this morning.

I have not heard from one of the people at all today, the other person I just heard from.

Why again did I bust my ass to get this stuff out? I feel like an asshole.

From the twitter, there seems to be a huge storm over London tonight. So now I'm hoping the baby gets called Thunder.
