[QUOTE="Mattsmom277, post: 302482, member: 4264"] Sorry to hear it seems to be rampant. I can't believe water turned off for $2 Janet!!! WOW!! Here, there is only one gas company and one electric company. You can, if you are so inclined, go through a "reseller" with a "fixed rate" which requires a 2-3 year contract. They basically lock you in at a higher rate than the normal utility company but promise you that when the utility hikes its rates, you'll be so lucky you locked in at THEIR rate. They tell you to "think long term". It's a total scam. Therefore, you get the one company for gas and one for electric. That's it. I hate it. And because they know they have customers over a barrel, they run rampant over their customers. I'm sooooo disgusted by all of this. I'm still steaming angry right now. I went to use the phone to call easy child's dad to ask him to switch his visit for tonight since I'm sick. DOH! No telephone!!! So now I can be grouchy that I've got to dress and head back to the school to pick her up later. Walking today stinks. I guess I'll be thankful that since I rent, I don't also have a water bill to contend with. Days like this I just wish S/O had to be away, difficult child and easy child were out for the night, so I could curl up on the couch with candles, quiet jazz music, a new coveted novel, my fuzzy soft blanket, pjs and a crisp bottle of white wine!!! Instead I'll just grouch to anyone who listens about darn utilities ! HRMPH!!! I need a happy pill .... wish they sold those! [/QUOTE]
