For all those who may think that paying a bill inside a store is quick and painless, well its not as easy as one may think. Here are a couple things you need to know, don't expect a human being to be the one that accepts your payment, apparently they are too lazy to take dollar bills from you so they point you to a machine sitting over in the corner collecting dust. So you make your way to the back of the store and get to the machine but if you were planning on paying with cash be aware that you forfeit whatever change you would have got back. Apparently this machine isn't as high tech as you would have thought and can't distribute change but also doesn't have a place to put coins either. So in frustration you walk up to the front to the guy that pointed you to the ghetto machine in the first place and he is all willing to help you out. He asks if the machine was able to pull up your account and so you say yes and apparently because it pulled up your account it can take your payment. However, its your last payment before closing this account and you explain that, so he says oh I can help you right over here. So you walk around the that side of the counter and he starts processing it and says okay now because I am taking your payment it will be a five dollar charge. Well now you think to yourself okay if I wanted to pay five more dollars I would have just forfeited my change to the machine in the corner.

Home Isn't Home Until You Break It In
Any person knows that moving is a pain in the royal butt. Also that it will take longer than expected because there is always that one thing, shoved in that one corner, that someone gave you for some occasion, however many years ago and you're not sure why you still have it, but keep it anyway.
All in all it took us about a week to move in everything. The last thing to be moved into our new place was our couch. So we get it off the moving truck and get it up to the door and of course, as always, it won't fit through the door. So you sit outside your front door dancing around trying to squeeze it through every way you think it could possibly fit. When your done you're still standing on the doorstep, couch in hand.
We decided that we were going to have to be creative if we wanted it to fit. Then again there is always dropping it off at the dumpster and getting a smaller one that we know will fit through our doorway. Anyhow we unscrewed all of the legs and squeezed it through the doorway and about two steps into the house the couch goes flying against the wall and shatters our light switch plate. As everyone knows moving day isn't moving day until your new place has some hole in the wall, scratch on the floor, or in our case a shattered light switch plate. We can now call it our home.
