Economics 101: or Pay the Bill Dummy

Strange thing, just because you forget to pay a bill for a month or two because of a bad memory, some companies get a little huffy. Couldn't figure why we couldn't get on the internet when we got back from a prolonged trip. It seems they(You know "THEY"), prefer to get paid and not provide free service. Strange way to do business, Huh? Anyway all is taken care of after vowing something about first born.
