to pay your bills on time

to do things right/correctly/the way they are supposed to be done/ when they they are supposed to be done the first time around, so as to avoid either having to redo the same job twice or suffering other unpleasant consequences (such as literally not paying your actual bills on time and having to pay late fees).
son (crying, with a piece of ungraded homework in his hands) Dad, why the hell is this composition of mine on The Great War not even graded? And why did the teacher just shove it back in my face with out even bothering to look at it.

Father: listen, Carl. If I'd be your teacher, i would have reacted the exact same way. Just look at your penmanship. Ca laisse a desirer. I can't even , lol, call it handwriting, it would probably, immb qualify as turkey-chicken scrawl. Now the moral of the fable is of course to pay your bills on time. Now, take this travail bacle afaap out of my line of site and rewrite your homework.

ex-gay for pay

A term coined by gay activist and author Wayne Besen to bring attention to the trend that those who profess to have been "cured" of their homosexuality often make their livelihood doing so. Once an individual has built a livelihood around claiming they've gone from gay to straight, should that person ever come to the realization they infact have NOT changed, they are far less likely to admit it for financial reasons.

Most major ex-gay organizations are headed by individuals who often make wild claims about going from totally gay to totally straight while lower ranked employees tend to profess less dramatic stories.
John Paulk who served on Focus On The Family's board of directors and appeared on the cover of Newsweek was very much ex-gay for pay until he was caught in a gay bar in Washington DC.
