My Qwest adventure continues, to the tune of a $695.54 monthly bill. Um, no.

$695? How in the world??

DR Laura, are you suffering from smoke in the air?

Jane · « **Reply #93 on:** June 17, 2010, 06:06:53 PM »

DR Ginny, I enjoyed the photos. I'm also relieved those threes have been cut down.

My sister has Qwest. She lives in Minnesota. Her husband called to cancel a couple of things (they had Encores and Starz and some other premium channels they no longer wanted). Qwest ending up zapping their voice mail and screwing up the entire account. It took a couple of days to get things straightened out.

I am SO glad I don't have cable anymore.

Jane, the fires are way up north and way down south. I did hear about one on the west side of town today, though. Is there another one?

I had to laugh about the chocolate cake doughnut. You have the address, why not call & report the dog?

What, and miss further excuses to have chocolate cake doughnuts - I don't think so!

I am glad Wiggles is free.

Now, I wish they would come after the Pit Bull that jumped over his fence and acosted Bosco and I during our morning walk down the alley behind my house. I was sure it was going to be my last day on earth. Fortunately, I stood very still (although I was yelling at it to go away), Bosco also did not react to it (thankfully) and neither of us were attacked. But that damned thing came right at me and stood barking and growling, ferociously, not two inches from me. It was scary. I was so shook up I had to stop and buy a chocolate cake donut on the way to work.

This creature (it looks like satan) has gotten out of it's yard several times over the last few years, and one day it is going to hurt somebody.

I have to admit that a lot of big dogs scare me. I don't have a problem with having restrictions on how they are kept in the back yard. No one deserves to be attacked. Our city ordinance came from a good place, just had no exceptions. So it treats a shih tzu nipping the same as a pit bull attacking. That's a problem.

I'd report the pit bull, MBarnum or at least tell the owners what happened

Not that I know of. Here we have had problems with smoke from fires a long way off so I was concerned about you.

I would also either talk to the owners or report that pit bull.

Saw Jose Carreras tonight. He sang alone with piano accompaniment and no mike or other amplification for about 90 minutes. Yes, his voice may not be what it once was, but it was still a lovely evening.

Which magazine did David Hasselhof pose in with a strategically placed dog? Was that also Cosmo?

John G. · « **Reply #106 on:** June 17, 2010, 08:32:00 PM »

And with that, it's time for bed. Night, all.

MBarnum · « **Reply #107 on:** June 17, 2010, 08:49:12 PM »

The owner of the dog is well aware of it's activities. They keep nailing boards higher, and higher on their back fence to keep it from jumping over, but to no avail.

Since the dog did not harm me or Bosco I wouldn't think there would be anything to report, but next time I see it running loose I will call for sure.

As a rule I am not afraid of dogs at all, big or small...but this thing seemed way ferocious and it did scare me, by golly.

MBarnum · « **Reply #108 on:** June 17, 2010, 08:49:26 PM »

And by gum.

MBarnum · « **Reply #109 on:** June 17, 2010, 08:49:39 PM »

The bulk of the overcharge was actually due to Verizon, which had strangely pro-rated our minutes (even though they billed for an entire month) and then charged us for our usage over the pro-ration, even though we were well under our monthly plan minutes. The Verizon guy was completely stumped as to what had happened, but he quickly agreed it was their error and put through a credit.

The other issue is DirecTV, which is billing me for supposedly "free" channels. I have to deal with that one tomorrow. I knew this bill was going to be huge, as it's for two months (due to the move), but it's still absurd. Especially after all the time I've spent on the phone right after the move just to get things straightened out to begin with.

Wow, I can't remember the last time we didn't get off page four. It's rather nauseating.

Clearly we have set a new record today - our lowest posting numbers on this board EVER. Congratulations!

Well I don't know about anyone else, but work has been VERY hectic. Today was the cut-off to pay our monthly bills and we're still trying to learn how to use the darn computer system.

There were quite a few invoices that didn't get paid this time.

bk · « **Reply #115 on:** June 17, 2010, 10:57:53 PM »

All I know is - new all-time low.

And I am pondering, oh, yes, I am pondering.

Also, the mother-in-law of my co-worker Madeline died yesterday, so Madeline was gone today and won't be back until a week from Monday. $:-\$
