Completely funny story. You have to wonder at their legal advice considering the wacko things they committed to writing. Aren’t they the kind of letters we would all like to have written on occasion?

Oh my gosh, that’s seriously nuts! I hope it’s finally figured out like they say it is, but geez, what a process!

No problem. We can take Puddings. Stay as long as you like! We don’t pay for our bin men, so no need to worry about bringing your problems with you!

Eldest can compare broken glasses with Meredith; Littlest can, you know, just run about and shout at you all, and we can make lemon drizzle cake!

When are you coming?

Oh, my law.

More importantly, what did you wear to church? I loved the suggestions to belt the cardigan. (That is so Michelle Obama.) Apparently, there are some people at my church (old ladies, actually) who think that because I am the pastor’s wife, I should not ever wear jeans to church, even though it’s clearly okay for everyone else to do so. So guess what I’ve been wearing to church e-v-e-r-y Sunday? I’m with yo mama.

I’ve been dealing with Wells Fargo in the same manner…except, unlike Jeff, I wait until I have PMS to call and freak out until I get my way. It seems to only have a temporary fix because the poor soul on the other end is sick of being belittled by a psycho (me) on the phone. Also, I live in NJ so I can’t help too much on the hideout. But you should visit anyway if you ever get back in the country.

A few years ago we had an oddly similar encounter with the cable company, who suddenly started sending us demanding letters and threatening to sue us for a cable box we had returned to them three years earlier when we downgraded our subscription. Maybe it’s part of a Secret Order of Utility Company Workers hazing ritual?

I’m fascinated; you _pay_ a utility for trash pickup?! I’ve never lived anywhere that it wasn’t covered under property taxes.

Angela, as part of The System (I’m an attorney, not a trash collector), might I recommend that Jeff contact the courthouse to make sure the legal side of things was dismissed as it should have been – otherwise, a default judgment could be entered against you. Just fixing the glitch with the trash people isn’t enough … or at least, I wouldn’t trust ‘em to do this, and not wind up getting a judgment against you “by mistake”.

Sounds like you need the Isabella Golightly Witness Protection Program, which is live and well, and running in Sunny Newport, NSW, Australia. Come on Down! (We also don’t have to pay for recycling, so you don’t have to worry about getting found out a second time ;-) )

At least they still picked up your trash. Our trash company quit picking up our trash for three weeks because they had us mixed up with someone on a different street, with the same house number. After repeated calling and them reassuring us they would send a truck out “that afternoon” to get all our trash, (it took two weeks for said truck to show up) our neighbors thought we were some hoosiers who never brought the trash cans in.
At least we didn’t end up in jail over it! :)
