How nice of them. You should demand a rebate.

But you shouldn't have to pay that (20%) for getting takeout.

That sounds dirt cheap, Jill, for a house on a golf course. Is that
the value of your house or is that your sell cheap price?

Yes, I certainly can. I'm very sorry for that rant. This is one that I
should have saved in "draft" and read it again before I decided to
post. I wouldn't have sent it.

It started out just being mad at them for ripping you off with this
crappy food requirement. Then it morphed into yelling at you for
staying there and allowing them to rip you off. Compounded with my own
series of bad events lately, I suspect I added my own frustrations
into your situation.

I'll skip my situation but there are 4-5 bad stressful things hitting
me all at once lately. Morton was right with their slogan, "When it
rains, it pours." I suspect my frustrations carried into your thing.

Again, I'm sorry for all that. You didn't deserve it. For all I know,
staying in your place could even be your last tie to your mom&dad as
that's the last place they lived. Anyway, if you're happy there,
that's all that matters.

aw, dammit. ;-0
