So. Not. Funny.

Dear Universe,

Plz stop w/r/t the huge and unexpected expenses kthx. No really. And if you do have to hit me up like five times in one week, at the very least do not stick two of them into one letter like the one I received today from my mortgage company which says Hey, girl, your escrow account is several hundred dollars short and you owe us, and by the way, your mortgage payment is about to go up substantially.

It's just common courtesy, Universe. I wouldn't do you this way, you know.

Your friend,

Cammy

Oh no! Property taxes?

[tofty.livejournal.com]

Yeah, and insurance -- but I thought that the tax payment had been figured in already. Silly me. -_-

That wretched mortgage/tax/insurance stuff is so very tricky to figure out, and isn't it, like, always changing with the weather or the tides or whatever, too?

Grr. I'm so sorry you're getting hit with the huge and unexpected expenses! The universe clearly has you mixed up with some nefarious, deserving-of-strife person with the same last name or something. I hope this is an end to it, and I wish even more that none of it had to come your way!

[tofty.livejournal.com]

I hope this is the end of it too! Because if it isn't, then I will be forced to sell my blood for extra income. (It's valuable blood, you know.) Or maybe my ova. I wonder if I have any good ones left? Do they even let women my age sell their eggs? Probably not. It'll have to be blood, then.

Okay, sorry for the digression. *snickers*

Sure they do!

[lindyhoppr.livejournal.com]

You can sell eggs anytime. However, someone may stick you with child support. That's why I don't do it.

Are there any tax breaks you can get? Apply away. In my county, you don't have to pay school tax unless you have kids. It's a crazy republican thing I think.

Re: Sure they do!

[tofty.livejournal.com]

Only homestead expemption, as far as I know. Already applied for, but I don't think processed just yet. So maybe my payments will go down a little after all.

I am not going to sell my eggs, if for no other reason than the effects of the course of hormones they put you on when you begin sound utterly horric.

Re: Sure they do!

I was reading yesterday that you can pay your own property taxes instead of the bank doing it - and it usually comes out cheaper.

I am skeptical, but perhaps it will work.


Yay, payments. Just another great benefit of owning your own home.

Argh! That sucks! Argh!

I send Steve the Wraith to kick the mortagage company on your behalf! Grr!

[tofty.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I would kick it myself, but it's a big company. I'm liable to end up injuring myself.

[miraminx.livejournal.com]

Oh God, I HATE those notices from the mortgage company. No one warned me about them! I thought I'd be paying xxx dollars forever, but NOOOOOOO!

On the plus side, last year the monthly payment actually went down instead of up. Still haven't figured that one out, but it's not like I'm going to tip off anyone at the mortgage company by calling them up and asking them.

[tofty.livejournal.com]

I knew I wouldn't be paying xxx forever, because I knew the insurance was going to eventually figure in, but I DID NOT KNOW ABOUT THE TAXES.

I am really hoping that once I get my arrears paid off, my payments will go back down. But NOW I KNOW IT IS ALL A NAUSEOUS ROLLER-COASTER RIDE, and so I won't hold my breath or nothin'.

(I wouldn't call the mortgage company either!)

*kicks universe for you*

[tofty.livejournal.com]

I want some Universe-kicking boots! Where'd you get yours?

[imkalena.livejournal.com]

Vic's -- and they're on sale! But if you're going to get athletic about it, you need the gel insoles.

[imkalena.livejournal.com]

It didn't put in my picture!!!

[tofty.livejournal.com]

THOSE ARE THE BEST UNIVERSE-KICKING BOOTS OF ALL TIME. I now cannot imagine kicking the universe in any boots but those.

[octoberstory.livejournal.com]

What. Son of a whore! >:O

[tofty.livejournal.com]

I. KNOW.

By the way! What are you doing on the weekend of July 21????

[octoberstory.livejournal.com]

You know perfectly well what WE'RE doing! B-)

[tofty.livejournal.com]

*beams at you!*

[octoberstory.livejournal.com]

I AM SO COMING. :D I have to call you! Jim wants to come. He says he doesn't want to intrude, but he adores you as well and feels bad about leaving so quickly last time, so...if you have room for two guests...

♥!!!!

[tofty.livejournal.com]

I keep forgetting to reply to this comment! But! IT IS AWESOME THAT JIM WANTS TO COME. When we talk on the phone, I'll make sure I have his address right so that I can issue a Proper Invitation. *beams some more*
