No, it is not. Tomorrow is a holiday so you get an extra day. My
three days don't start until Monday. So technically for me, I don't
have to pay them until Wednesday.

Maybe you'll get hit by a bus and die before the rent is paid.
There you are crossing the street with the rent in your pockets, early
morning or late evening, not much traffic on the road, when suddenly -
BAM! - there ya go, down for the count - as the driver gets out and
checks your pulse to see if you're still alive before rifling your
pockets for every last cent. Well, at least that's one way to beat
the landlord.

Well, thank goodness I wrote a check and mailed it to the landlord!

Maybe...the only thing that driver is going to find in my pocket is my
Medic Alert card!

Paying the rent right before you die is like people calling your
phone and getting, "please leave and message and I'll get back with
you as soon as possible", but it's not going to happen because YOU'RE
DEAD.

My boss is a landlord. He offers a discount - get your rent in to the
office by 4 PM of the 1st and take $50 off the rent. Of course, he
overprices the rent by $50 at the lease signing.

Hehe

On the 4th I have to pay 35 more and 5 for each day that the rent is
late! So, believe me, I pay it on time unless I really, really have no
other choice! This month there was some problem and we didn't have
the money to pay, my husband will be getting his check on the 13th.
Imagine that, 80 dolars more! I tried to pay it with my creditcard
but the website said that it was from Uruguay (it's an international
Visa from the citi bank but my address is from Uruguay) and that they
don't accept these cards. This almost drove me crazy. Finally a
friend of us paid our rent with his creditcard and I wrote him a check
and asked him not to cash it until the 13th! This fixed the problem.
But now I will try to get a creditcard that is from here, this could
really be a problem at some point.

Being alive is one big pyramid scheme. Man A overprices Man B.
Then man B overprices Man C. Then C overprices D and so forth till
everyone is overpricing everyone else until those who can't pay are
tossed to the side of the road to whither and rot to bone.

Paying the late fee reminds me of the old vagrancy laws where
people are arrested and fined for not having any money.

And that's a *good* thing....

Maybe it is, maybe it isn't. As for me being a commie, maybe
that's true too. I try not to attach labels to myself the way people
attach bumper stickers to the car. I could be a commie. In some ways
I'm probably a lot of different things. If I'm a commie sometimes,
then being a commie is a good thing too, because I'm good and most
everything I do falls is good as well.

Tommy Joe (thank goodness)
