[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 585141, member: 1233"] No, you are not. I think your guys don't bother because they figure you will take care of it for them. I am sorry that Billy is putting you in a postion to fear that the power will be cut off. I hope a strong warning, and maybe taking some of the power cords to his computer stuff will help him not do this in the future. He pays almost nothing toward supporting himself and to be late on what little he does pay is simply not okay. I would use your health to guilt him over this. What happens if it is dark and you are in the bathroom and fall because you cannot see? I am sure you can think of more things. If it happens again, don't remove his power cords. When the power is off, take some wire cutters or tin snips and cut a few of the cords. They will cost to fix, and that should stink enough to remind him to pay his bills on time so that he does not endanger you. Or go in sometime in the middle of the night and turn his lights on. Tell him you woke up worried that the power had been cut because he didn't pay his bll and you needed to check to amke sure it was on. You didn't want to disturb his favorite uncle by turning the light in the living room on. A few nights of that spread over a week should be memorable enough to get the bill paid on time. Or if it is turned off and his room is dark, make a shallow bowl of jello, applesauce, pudding, whatever. Put it on the bed where he would normally sit. Make sure his lights are off and if they can be turned on, unplug them. When he gets upset because why is it there, tell him you wanted to make sure he had a nice snack that his fave uncle didn't snarf before he got home, but with-o lights you couldn't tell where you put it. Be sure to act as though this was truly your intention. [/QUOTE]
