I have Verizon for the cell phones (the three here are on a "family plan").  Landline is still Frontier who took over the AT&T stuff here. 

Started with Cingular then jumped to Verizon ten years ago because they had the best and most complete coverage where we needed it.  For all I know, that could have changed by now.

Courtesy of Verizon we are now in possession of four useless paperweights

Vixmom, can you sell them?  I've seen used phones on eBay, even phones locked to a specific carrier.  Might be an option for you, especially since you have four of them.  Just a thought.

We don't want to sell them, we want them to work

Thank you. I got a new pair of cheap sunglasses and had to try them on. These advertise Grand Marnier.

I actually finished the eleven pages about ninety minutes ago, but I do think I'll write another page or two after the hot shower.  I can probably even write one before the hot shower.  I was listening to come music in iTunes, in the S's.  And then on comes the third movement of the Rachmaninov Symphony 2.  That's right, without the two movements before it.  That's because the Adrian Boult complete performance isn't available on CD, but this one movement was on a compilation.  This is the performance that caused me to pull to the side of the road because I found it so beautiful.  Oh, how I wish the rest of this performance was out on CD.  It's beautiful.  There are more beautiful and longer versions than this (this is the cut version of the symphony) but this was my first and I love it.

For some reason, this year was worse than the last several.

Of course, she and her husband are on the outs, which hasn't helped.

My sister reminded me of the middle-of-the-night phone call I had to make to her early the next morning to break the news.
