Bank of America has started to hound us for money. That means it's time to begrudgingly send them a payment. It makes me feel slightly better to scribble some opinions on the envelope in hopes that a lonely mailroom employee will get a chuckle. More than likely though, a robot will open this. A robot that is taking my money. A money-taking robot of death.

It's not that I dislike paying bills. I love it when we can. It's just that we're on the "rotation" plan, where we have to rotate which bills don't get paid. Seems to work out fine if you don't NOT pay the same people two months in a row.

1) My telephone company puts their own address in the return address position. I stick the biggest disabled veteran return address label I can find over it.

4) Having their address in that position is kindof against postal regulations for mailing letters... which we all learned about in KINDERGARTEN.

5) We used to write all kinds of notes in the comments section of the checks we were mailing to pay bills. I would tell the phone company what I'd rather be spending the money on, or let the car payment people know about the latest repair I had to have done on the car. I remember having to write a check to a friend of mine so I wrote "stop running naked through my yard!" in the memo. He said he had an interesting time cashing that one.
I feel if I have to pay the bill, I might as well get some amusement out of it.

6) Dave, I like the rotation plan. We put ours in a hat. Then we just draw names until we run out of money. lol They don't like it too much when they are being obnoxious and you threaten to not put their name in the hat though.
