I went home tonight, and lo and behold, the power is off to my humble
domicile. The adjacent apartments have power, so something's up.
Sheesh . . .
As far as I can remember, I've paid my bills . . . so, I went to the Texas
Public Utility Commission website, and buried deep within its pages is this
little blurb under the heading "Disconnections:"
-----------------
Prior to disconnecting your service, your REP must provide you with a
written Disconnection Notice. This notice must be mailed to you separately
(or hand-delivered) no earlier than the first day after the date your bill
is due. The disconnection date must be 10 days from the date the notice is
issued and may not fall on a holiday or weekend (or the day preceding)
unless the REP's personnel are available to take payments and service can be
reconnected.
-----------------
I sure didn't get any kind of disconection notice from these people . . .
Ugh!
Well, I just got through firing off an e-mail to the electric company (Green
Mountain), and you can bet I'll be talking to them first thing in the
morning, too.
Anyone ever in a similar situation? Were you tempted to shoot anyone?

Are you looking for a way to be at home and make ends meet or better?
Do you dream of spending more time with your family and friends? Are
you tired of work deadlines and the stress that comes with you job? If
you are like me, then you may have found an answer to those very same
questions. I had been searching the web for ways to earn income at
home. I ran across this posting and decided to give it a trial run.
What could I lose for few dollars and a few postage stamps . This is
not a scam. When I studied the article I concluded that the purchase
of the service offered, in this letter, is legal and a valid
transaction.
This method really does work and is a very easy way to make fast
money. The article that I had found said that I could make thousands
of dollars easily in a matter of weeks with only an initial small
payment of $6.00. I thought, "Yeah, right, this must be a scam like
most of the rest", but like most of us, I was curious, so I kept
reading. Anyway, it said that if I sent $1.00 to each of the 6 names
and addresses listed at the bottom of the article that I would make
great money but only if I followed the following steps. After sending
the $1.00 to each person you were then instructed to rewrite the list
by taking the 1st person off of the list then moving the 2nd person to
the 1st spot, and the 3rd person to the 2nd spot, etc, etc. Finally
you should be left with the number 6 spot empty and this is where you
place your name and address. After reconfiguring the list you then
must post it on about 200 newsgroups (doesn't matter but the more
places you post the more money you make!). There are thousands and
thousands of newsgroups from around the world so this task is easy and
that was it when I was done! no catch. So after thinking it over, and
talking to a few people that were on the list, I thought about trying
it. I figured what have I got to lose except 6 stamps and $6.00,
right? Like most of us I was a little skeptical because it seemed so
easy and a I was a little worried about the legal aspects of it all.
So I checked it out with the U.S. Post Office (1-800-725-2161) they
confirmed that it is indeed legal! After reviewing the pro's and con's
of the investment I decided to carry out with it. I invested the
measly $6.00 and guess what??... Within 7days, I started getting money
in the mail!! I was very shocked! I figured it would end soon, but the
money just kept coming in. In my first week, I made about $25.00. By
the end of the second week I had made a total of over $1,000.00! In
the third week Ihad over $10,000.00 and it's still growing. This is
now my fourth week and I have made a total of just over $42,000.00 and
it's still coming in rapidly. It's certainly worth $6.00, and 6
stamps.... Now let me explain to you how this works and most importantly
why it works. Also, make sure you print a copy of this article NOW, so
you can get the information off of it as you need it.
STEP 1
· Get 6 separate pieces of paper and write the following on each piece
of paper "PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR MAILING LIST."
· Now get 6 US $1.00 bills and place ONE inside EACH of the 6 pieces
of paper so the bill will not be seen through the envelope to prevent
thievery.
· Next, place one paper in each of the 6 envelopes and seal them. You
should now have 6 sealed envelopes, each with a piece of paper stating
the above phrase (PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR MAILING LIST), your name and
address, and a $1.00 bill. What you are doing with this letter is
creating a service. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY LEGAL!
· Now mail the 6 envelopes to the following addresses
1. Michael Mitchell, 88 Mutual Street, Toronto, Ontario M5B 2N3
2. Joseph Brown, 14 Mount Pleasant Street, Winchester, MA 01890
3. Charles Baguley, 4260 Crazyhorse rd. Cameron Park, CA 95682
4. Gulam Rasul, 864-42nd Street Apt# 7 Brooklyn, NY-11232, U.S.A
5. Tony Washington 303 saint Patrick st. apt#1 rapid city, SD 57701
6. Jessie Woehrle 127, South Harmony Lane, Apt.206, Whitewater, WI
53190, U.S.A
STEP 2
· After you have mailed out your letters creating a service and making
this legal, take the #1 name off the list that you see above, move the
other names up (6 becomes 5, 5 becomes 4, etc...) and add YOUR Name as
number 6 on the list.
STEP 3
· Change anything you need to in this article, but try to keep this
article as close to original as possible. Now, post your amended
article to at least 200 newsgroups. (I believe there are close to
24,000 groups in USA alone). All you need is 200, but remember, the
more you post the more money you make!
DIRECTIONS ---HOW TO POST TO NEWSGROUPS
Step 1 You do not need to re-type this entire letter to do your own
posting. Simply put your cursor at the beginning of this letter and
drag your cursor to the bottom of this document, and select 'copy'
from the edit menu. This will copy the entire letter into the
computers memory.
Step 2 Open a blank "notepad" file under accessories in windows and
place your cursor at the top of the blank page. From the 'edit' menu
select 'paste'. This will paste a copy of the letter into notepad so
that you can add your name to the list.
Step 3 Save your new notepad file as a .txt file. If you want to do
your postings in different sittings, you'll always have this file to
go back to.
Step 4 Use Netscape or Internet explorer and try searching for various
newsgroups (on-line forums, message boards, chat sites, discussions.)
Step 5 Visit these message boards and post this article as a new
message by highlighting the text of this letter and selecting paste
from the edit menu. Fill in the Subject, this will be the header that
everyone sees as they scroll through the list of postings in a
particular group, click the post message button.
After you have completed these steps you are done with your first
posting Congratulations you are that more closer to easy
money!...THAT'S IT! All you have to do is jump to different newsgroups
and post away, after you get the hang of it, it will take about 30
seconds for each newsgroup! That's it! You will begin receiving money
from around the world within days! You may eventually want to rent a
P.O.Box due to the large amount of mail you will receive. If you wish
to stay anonymous, you can invent a name to use, as long as the
postman will deliver it. **JUST MAKE SURE ALL THE ADDRESSES ARE
CORRECT AND REMEMBER, THE MORE NEWSGROUPS YOU POST IN, THE MORE MONEY
YOU WILL MAKE!! BUT YOU HAVE TO POST A MINIMUM OF 200**
Now WHY and HOW it works : Out of 200 postings, say I receive only 5
replies (a very low example). So then I made $5.00 with my name at #6
on the letter. Now, each of the 5 persons who just sent me $1.00 make
the MINIMUM 200 postings, each with my name at #5 and only 5 persons
respond to each of the original 5, that is another $25.00 for me, now
those 25 each make 200 MINIMUM posts with my name at #4 and only 5
replies each, I will bring in an additional $125.00! Now, those 125
persons turn around and post the MINIMUM 200 with my name at #3 and
only receive 5 replies each, I will make an additional $626.00! OK,
now here is the fun part, each of those 625 persons post a MINIMUM 200
letters with my name at #2 and they each only receive 5 replies, that
just made me $3,125.00!!! Those 3,125 persons will all deliver this
message to 200 newsgroups with my name at #1 and if still 5 persons
per 200 newsgroups react I will receive $15,625,00! With an original
investment of only $6.00! AMAZING! When your name is no longer on the
list, you just take the latest posting in the newsgroups, and send out
another $6.00 to names on the list, putting your name at number 6
again. And start posting again. The thing to remember is, do you
realize that thousands of people all over the world are joining the
internet and reading these articles everyday, JUST LIKE YOU ARE
SEARCHING NOW!! So it's up to you to START GETTING SOME SERIOUS MONEY.

LORELAI: I am so done with plans. I am never, ever making one again.
It never works. I spend the day obsessing over why it didn't work
and what I could've done differently. I'm analyzing all my shortcomings
when all I really need to be doing is vowing to never, ever make a plan
ever again, which I'm doing now, having once again been the innocent
victim of my own stupid plans. God, I need some coffee.
