How is it I got all shut off notices all on the same day? This is very unusual, actually a first.

So this means I can't throw any of these away, like I do with all usual utility bills. You remember my strict rule when it comes to utility bills " THROW EVERYTHING AWAY BUT THE SHUT OFF NOTICES." This way there is never any confusion on when you should pay.

I also found out that paying late and shut-offs do not under any circumstance go against your credit or ever on your credit report - so my rule is the only way to go. Let's face it, you pretty much figure in the back of your head about when the shut off time is. I just wasn't expecting them all today, but I figured around this week, so I am ready to finally pay.

But why so much... my water/trash bill is $140. 00 and gas is $106.00 etc etc... I went to put air in my bicycle tire and did you know air is up to 75 cents for 45 seconds now?

Price gouging, and even I would say we have no choice... or so I found out recently with one of my refusals to comply. Glad i wasn't too hasty to add this latest trick to my money saving "Cindy's Tip List....."

Since I don't like the Edison Co.'s bullying pay or else attitude. I just let them shut it OFF a while back and we promptly went out and turned it right the hell BACK ON. (Frank knows a lot about electricity in case you didn't know.)

However, here comes this creep about 2 months later knocking on our door- to accuse us of this (news to me) big crime called ""Electricity Theft." That's an exact quote too by the way, electricity theft... who are they kidding? So then wouldn't they be guilty of stealing electricity from the sun or something? Not to mention they "The Edison Co." stole/thefted the whole idea from the actual true inventor of electricity (the real genius, Tesla). Except his wealthy egomaniac of a crook employer, Edison, slapped his own name on it. Everybody knows that.

But getting back to the "shut off/turn on..." this official Edison creep told us we would now be summoned to court , etc..( sure sure sure). I took over and told him a wild story about how we knew nothing about the "hows/whys of any turn on...and that we had called to arrange it turned back on and It came back on in the middle of the night, etc. - so naturally we assumed THEY were responsible!".. I had my handy conservative look on that day, so he looked a little meek and uncertain and went away with some warning or other.

Bottom line is better not mess with them on this one I guess.
