This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Any chance the well is shared with any neighbors? by epmnet37

My mother-in-law shares one, and the electric bill to run the pump is supposed to be paid by the neighbor. Of course, the neighbor isn't terribly reliable with paying the bill apparently, so every once in a while, she'll wake up to no water because the utility turned it off. (Which isn't supposed to be allowed, but it usually takes a few phone calls to resolve it.)

Anyway, avoid the hassle if at all possible - even if the current neighbor is reliable, you never know who will live there next.
