~That Kind OF Day~



Today was kind of a down day...I had to call about my cable..I
got my bank statement and apparently they took out their pay
ment twice...Wasnt that nice? Good thing I had a few dollars
in there or I could have been in serious trouble..Then when I
said I wanted that 105 dollars back they said NO..its been
credited to your next months bill..you only owe us 21.oo for
March...Someone sure doesnt do a very good job there I'll
tell ya...This is Comcast now...

So I'm talking to this lady..she says "you want to remember
that May 1st your special premium runs out and your cable
and internet monthly bill will go up to $116.oo ..a month!!!!
I almost had another PMP moment you know??? I couldn't
believe what she was sayin...So she and I went round and
round a few times..about this..I dont know why they didnt
tell me..She said it would have just automatically gone into that
bigger payment..that I needed to remember to phone AGAIN
before the first of May... *sigh*.

So I have 6 weeks left of cable tv..I can still have the internet..
she said that will run me over 45.oo a month...which was
about what I was paying before...All I will be missing is the
cable television..I loved it..but I just cant do that...Almost
120 a month? no ..I told her that.. You would think they would
tell people..If they did I sure dont remember..which when it
comes to that kind of stuff ..well I usually remember lol...I sure
dont want to give up cable internet ..this spoils you so bad ..
Comparing the speed to this and dial up..well its like a
caddy to a old jalopy lol...

I never did call about the renters insurance.. and I guess they
dont do fire drills or anything because of the turn over of people
that move in and out..Not too many of us have really been here
that long...Alot are just in and out...I think there are 2 apts still
empty here..well Rons isnt..(BamBams Dad) they still havent
located his son or daughter to come and get his stuff .. so if
no one does..they will just pack it all up and turn it over to the
state...I thought was mandatory they had a contact person..
they ask ME all the time..At least Bam got a great new home..
Usually they let us know when they are going to test the fire
stuff but half the time nothing works here...How can it if Chris
is only allowed to spend 8 hrs a week on care and maintenance
on this place? I dont see how he can do it..

Well I made out my to do list for tomorrow..and I will call about
the insurance I will have to know what that will run before I can
do anything else.. lol..The joys of No Frills budgets lol..I didnt
eat lunch again today was really a guess what it is lunch...I
will make a nice roast beef and swiss cheese sandwich..the
bread Rae got is so good..She will be back tomorrow and its
laundry day..She is SO nice.. I hope she never leaves..But I
maybe shouldnt say that cuz then something usually happens
lol..and I SURE dont wanna have to find another provider..

Im off to make my sandwich..and thanks for the wonderful
comments I love reading them and thank you for all the letters
too.. I really enjoy getting them..and of course answering..If
I get slow..just rattle my cage a bit ..lol..I'll wake up..or yell
at Dutch to wake Mom up..that cat sure knows HOW to do it,
let me tell ya..that scratchy tongue on a eye lid..well trust me
you OPEN it..lol...hes a good kid ..Ill keep him for awhile...
Kitchen here I come..Nitey nite..

Y'all have a good one now Y'hear? LUV ya..& Thanks..!!!!
Always, Lois ****

May God Bless you today,
I'm so honored to call you friend,
I pray the Lord will keep you safe,
Until I write again...

    My, that was nice of your bank! What a rotten thing.

    I love my cats, but my problem is fur under the keys. One of them loves to lie on the keyboard when I'm out, and it;s really hard to dig the fur out. My 1 and W keys have so much fur underneath that it is hard to press hard enough to get them to register.

    If you give up cable, you will find that DSL is quite a bit cheaper and definitely plenty fast. I have a more commercial version of DSL because of my work, but that is still less than than $45. I think that one can get residential DSL for $29 here.

    Hope things work out. Take care.

    Lapin? ? Ohhh.. duh..rabbit? I need to brush up on my french..is this a test? :-) Well not fair, I didn't study lol...:-)

    I think I could build a whole cat from the fur under mine.. I run a thin piece of cardboard between..and they have those keyboard vacuums. I have Rae do mine when she is vacuuming in here. My 2 nubbies.. are gone..and I have no letters on my e r s d c i j k l n m keys lol... I need a new keyboard... Only thing I need are the nubbies.. I cant type and look at my fingers..I
    learnt the "old" way lol...

    I think with DSL dont they have to put up a dish or something? They wont let us put anything onto the building... There are a few of us in here with computers...Be nice if the building offered it.. but they wont even provide cable..we all even offered to add ten dollars a month to our rent.. THey said No...be nice if they did... hmmm we should have a meeting of the computer people and ask for a deal...lol..

    Well I got a list of to do's a mile long today todo lol..y'all have a good one THANKS !!!! :-)
    Always, Lois****

    No, there is no dish. DSL is done through your phone line. Unlike old fashioned modems, it does not interfere with the use of your phone at all. A small filter is plugged into the line for each phone, which anyone can easily do. A small DSL box is plugged into a phone jack (you can still use a phone there), and your computer system plugs into the DSL box. It is very simple, almost as fast, and always cheaper than cable internet access.

    Mail or message me if you need more information.

    Dear Lois,
    Thought things were a lot less expensive in the States than here in "Rip-off" Britain!!!
    I pay about the £ eqivalent of what Gray mentioned in $ and my link is over the regular 'phone line, through a plug-in box called a "router". This gives me Broadband and the phone can be used at the same time. Keeps Management (that's the wife!!) off my back!!! lolol ;-)

    Hope you manage to get everything sorted out. I would miss your daily posts very much. You are always so gorgeously up-beat about everything.
    Take care, my dear, lots of love and hugs from
    Raife
