By the way, for any of you that don't know. You can always negotiate your bills lower, and you can always negotiate payment plans. I've worked around the collections business for 15 years, and you can always work a deal.

Takes some of the sting out of it. ************************************************* Barack Obama is not My President http://www.cafepress.com/rightwingmike --- On Fri, 11/21/08, Fred Taylor <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > From: Fred Taylor <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: Re: [OT] 25 billion won't do it? > To: "ProFox Email List" <[email protected]> > Date: Friday, November 21, 2008, 11:24 AM > On Fri, Nov 21, 2008 at 9:18 AM, MB Software Solutions, LLC > < > [EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > Fred Taylor wrote: > > > I recently had a trip to the emergency room for > what turned out to be > > kidney > > > stones.
