I had a long dream last night about being on an Amtrak train.

I had to "shush" some rambunctious children.

I got off at the correct stop, but forgot my luggage on the train. I re-boarded to grab my luggage. The doors closed, and the train was leaving the station. Then I woke up.

We all got up early so I could follow Kristi to her car place where she'd drop the car off for servicing then I'd drive her to work. We were almost there when everything came to a dead stop because the police had the road blocked off for nearly half a mile around the car place due to an accident or something. There was no relief in sight so she continued on to work and I came home. Later we learned that twenty minutes after that, they were clearing whatever it was and everything was wide open. Of course when you're there, you can't know how long it's going to take, so you have to make a decision right then. But the morning appointment and whatever else people had going on was utterly wasted.

In the meantime, weird dreams abound here. This morning I woke from a very strange sort of reunion choral concert in which I was accompanying some group with a high school soloist on some piece that resulted in my waking up with "Part of Your World" from The Little Mermaid running through my head. (And it still is. Make it stop. Please.)

The night before was even weirder, though, with me sightreading some strange chart that turned out to be a perversion of "Dance of the Mirlitons" from The Nutcracker.

Remember how I said that there was a Spectrum charge out of nowhere and that I'd called Spectrum and was told I'd never been charged that amount so we stopped that debit card and I had to wait ten days for the new card and then change all the autopays  and everywhere else I used it? Remember that? So, yesterday, I get an e-mail from Spectrum saying the autopay for the 29.99 charge is scheduled and it has the old card number. Say what? Am I being scammed still?
Title: Re: PASSOVER
Post by: bk on April 22, 2024, 03:08:34 PM
So, I call Spectrum again and tell them what's what and the guy I'm talking to says the 29.99 IS a legit charge and that it was for the mobile phone, which is a separate department. Apparently I've gotten free mobile on whatever plan they put me on when I switched the phone service and that was for a year and now I have to pay. I was so irritated and asked why the first guy told me it wasn't a real charge, but obviously he couldn't speak for that guy.
Title: Re: PASSOVER
Post by: bk on April 22, 2024, 03:10:55 PM
I was switched to the mobile department and I told the nice gal that I'd never been told any of this and that I was originally told the landline was free for a year. And that I'd shut down the debit card needlessly, waited for ten days for a new card needlessly, and opened a dispute for the 29.99 charge needlessly. She felt very bad and gave me a 20 dollar credit and put me on a slightly different mobile plan that will save me ten a month. Then I had to cancel the dispute, which I did.
Title: Re: PASSOVER
Post by: Freddie on April 22, 2024, 03:20:24 PM

We all got up early so I could follow Kristi to her car place where she'd drop the car off for servicing then I'd drive her to work. We were almost there when everything came to a dead stop because the police had the road blocked off for nearly half a mile around the car place due to an accident or something. There was no relief in sight so she continued on to work and I came home. Later we learned that twenty minutes after that, they were clearing whatever it was and everything was wide open. Of course when you're there, you can't know how long it's going to take, so you have to make a decision right then. But the morning appointment and whatever else people had going on was utterly wasted.

What a shame. Was she able to easily reschedule?

Remember how I said that there was a Spectrum charge out of nowhere and that I'd called Spectrum and was told I'd never been charged that amount so we stopped that debit card and I had to wait ten days for the new card and then change all the autopays  and everywhere else I used it? Remember that? So, yesterday, I get an e-mail from Spectrum saying the autopay for the 29.99 charge is scheduled and it has the old card number. Say what? Am I being scammed still?

 :o
Title: Re: PASSOVER
Post by: Jane on April 22, 2024, 04:45:04 PM
So, I call Spectrum again and tell them what's what and the guy I'm talking to says the 29.99 IS a legit charge and that it was for the mobile phone, which is a separate department. Apparently I've gotten free mobile on whatever plan they put me on when I switched the phone service and that was for a year and now I have to pay. I was so irritated and asked why the first guy told me it wasn't a real charge, but obviously he couldn't speak for that guy.

Very annoying.
Title: Re: PASSOVER
Post by: Jane on April 22, 2024, 04:45:50 PM
I was switched to the mobile department and I told the nice gal that I'd never been told any of this and that I was originally told the landline was free for a year. And that I'd shut down the debit card needlessly, waited for ten days for a new card needlessly, and opened a dispute for the 29.99 charge needlessly. She felt very bad and gave me a 20 dollar credit and put me on a slightly different mobile plan that will save me ten a month. Then I had to cancel the dispute, which I did.

At least something good came out of this.

This morning I was able to snag an appointment with an assistant at the dermatologist's office.  This time Keith went in with me to me my eyes, and to make sure all 4 of the internal stitches poking through my skin were trimmed.

Fingers crossed they don't do this again while we are traveling.  It is very possible.
