BobK207 thinks enough of peoples intelligence to say "Oh & for clarity
don't use 12:00PM ....use noon or midnight to avoid confusion." (The

I saw his post. It's not bad advice. I got an 800 on my math SATs,
as high as the score goes, and it wasn't until I was 45 or so that I
finally got straight which was which. I finally came up with a way to
remmeber which was which. Logic is my thing, and not memorization.
There are lots of people who for lots of reasons haven't got it
straight, and it's good policy to make things as easy as possible for
people who are trying to help. It's almost the equivalent of removing
things that are in front of the furnace before the repairman gets
there, even though he can and will do it himself.

What's worse than AM and PM is 12m and 12M. I still don't know which
one of those is noon. I wonder how many people do.

When my mother hired a painter, she took off all he wall plates before
he got there and put them back on after he left. And other stuff like
that. They made that agreement so she could pay less. (She also
told me he was "blind", but I'm not sure what that meant. He did a
good job.)

Again, did you miss the $320 electric bill.

Clueless I tell you, just pure stupidity!

It could be that a neigbhor is using her electricity. There was a
case on tv like that just last week. And oh yeah, there was a
follow-up in this newsgroup just last week where another tenant was
was using the poster's electricity, and had been for months, since he
moved in.

So she could have two separate problems, the bill and the lack of
cooling.

But I believe the AC is broken and it alone is using the electricity,
and still we need to know details. She''s the one who wanted to
prepare before the repairman came. This is not a case of "it's too
difficult for you. Why investigate? Call the repairman." The
repairman is coming but she wanted to be prepared for him.

Yeah, whatever, like that happens everyday.
