Well, you've read the notes, the notes were not too happy with Time Warner, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they're currently off-line and need a new MOOdem.

Last night (actually, just a few hours ago), I had a union meetin'. We got some things discussed and questions answered. We're gearing up for negotiations later in the year. This year, the whole contract is up for negotiations. We have some issues that we want to bring up and, hopefully, the management won't just say no. They're called "negotiations" for a reason.

Hi, Tom!

Well, it's a good thing I posted when I did - because guess what - we went down again. I called Time Warner and had to hear a chipper recorded voice tell me that happily the outage had been fixed. Oops. Guess not. I got a specialist on the phone again, she had me do the usual pointless stuff, told me it all looked fine on her end, but of course it wasn't - so she went ahead and reported it again - now it's back up, but who knows for how long. Tomorrow or Sunday I go to the AT&T store and discuss UVerse with them, because I can't deal with this crap anymore.

The second I posted the above it went down again. I unplugged the router for the third time and replugged but it is not happening. We will see how it is in the morning.

Still down. At least they are once again acknowledging it on their phone message. I will be asking for a monetary credit tomorrow

An early "trend" in the movies.

At least we're told it's a not a musical and two characters might be "gay", but I don't think that word is ever used.

Good morning, all! I slept late.

I have nothing to report. I need to put a package together and take it to the post office on my way to the pharmacy.

More later.

More coffee!

A book on my library wish list showed available to check out. I went to my Nook to borrow and download and it was already gone. That was fast! I have 2 books already checked out so I'm ok though my plan was to read this book before the other ones.

That seems rather odd.

At first I was thinking that DR Jane was saying that her library told her an ebook was available but when she went to download it she couldn't. Now I understand what she did mean. It was a book on her wishlist that she hadn't yet reserved. But still it was fast. Well now you can reserve it right and be second?

My niece (who will be 4 this Friday) blabbed my sister's Mother's Day present to her. It was pretty funny. I guess don't tell her anything you don't want everyone else to know.

Also, I had her make 4 cards yesterday (a Mother's day for my sister, a Mother's Day for my mom, a birthday card for my aunt whose birthday is today, and a birthday card for my brother-in-law's aunt whose party is today). So we showed my sister 3 cards and so my niece says "but I made 4 cards". I had told her the 4th card was a secret. But I guess she doesn't quite get it yet.

My shoulder is a little sore this morning but it's fine. I knew it was going to hurt when I was lifting my niece at the park. But she wanted to do those things (monkey bars and fireman's pole) so badly. I couldn't refuse.

Big thanks to DR Jane for the bookmark she sent me. Thank you so much. You are so sweet! I really like it.

re: DR Jane's funny comment last night about losing weight by going to restaurants you don't like.

It's funny but I can't imagine eating out/taking out so much while trying to lose weight. I guess if you are doing it purely by calories then a lot of places now are listing those (so that part is good).

But here they don't do that (list calories). And most foods could have anything in them making them more fattening.

I feel like if I make the food myself then I know exactly what I am putting in it. And I can eat more fruits and vegetables and cook them how I like.

I had never heard that song. Heard of it, but I'm so out of touch with music today.

Good morning, all.

Slept 10 hours, which was much needed.

Need to get things squared away today for vacation on Wednesday. Then there's a book signing tonight.

I'm up - I guess I may have gotten JUST eight hours of sleep. We seem to be back online so gee I guess my modem wasn't the problem. What I find so irritating about these people is that they just refuse to acknowledge it might be an outage even when they know they just had one - clearly their engineers thought they fixed it and just as clearly they hadn't.

Jane · « **Reply #29 on:** May 11, 2013, 09:57:30 AM »

Not to me and the reason as soon as I see a book has become available I rush to check it out. I just wasn't fast enough this time. It is only the wish list, not the hold list.
