It Should Be Illegal
So I was looking at the mail today, and I see a letter from our mortgage company. On the outside of the envelope, the words “Final Notice” are stamped in red. I had a heart attack right then and there. I started thinking, “How could this happen?!?!?!” Then I opened the envelope. It seems that our ever-so-thoughtful mortgage company is offering one last chance to take advantage of an offer for “accident insurance”. No, our house payment isn’t late. In fact, it’s never been late. In the span of a few seconds, I pictured myself packing up and moving back in with my mother, destitute and homeless. Here’s a lesson for the mortgage people: Don’t play games with the heart patient. I thought I was going to die. Not nice, Big Financial Institution. Not nice at all.

So if you could just be real careful with my new prize collection when you pack up all our shit. 🙂

What an assinine thing to do! Of course I’d be upset b/c now the mailman things I’m falling behind on my bills. I don’t know why but I worry what the mailman thinks of us.

I thought this was funny (not in the “You almost had heart failer” kind of funny, way…), so I told husband, whose first words were, YEAH! Just like how people get suckered into believing Publisher’s Damn Clearinghouse! Bastards!” Okay, I added in the bastards…
The things these people do to market their services…Godawful!

OH! I’m funny today…I meant heart FAILURE! Not heart failer. Well, actually, if one is not picky, failer works, too.*:P

Merrin – you should. Why do you get those magazines in brown paper wrappers?
