Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!
Turkey day!
Turkey day!
I went grocery shopping today instead of tomorrow because the internet tech is coming tomorrow between 8 & 12. My internet connection has been spotty the last couple days dropping off and coming back, very slow, etc. So, naturally, because I've set up an appointment, today the internet is just fine. Now I'm in a quandary as to if I should cancel the appointment.
This happened to me with cable internet (Comcast). It was intermittent. It would be bad and then be fine for days in a row. At first it only was slow at night so the tech thought it had something to do with cold weather. A few days later, I saw a tech across the street, but he said what he was doing wouldn't affect me. It took weeks but they finally figured out it was a problem with the box for the entire neighborhood.
Oh...my...lord...in...heaven!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I called the "sales" number that the tech gave me on the phone yesterday to see if I can upgrade my DSL service to a faster speed (U-Verse isn't available in my area, but I have the slowest DSL they sell, according to today's tech). Man o man. Did he ever steer me wrong. I had to suffer through 6 commercials, recorded commercials, listening to their spiel to sell me this service or that service, even an emergency response button for cripes sake, and at the very end, about 6 minutes later, the recording tells me that the number to call has changed for my geographical area, and I should call this other number. When I called the other number the recording didn't answer with "AT&T" but rather, some other business name, so I hung up. I went to the phone book,something I should have done in the first place, and looked up the number for AT&T's business office. I had to go through various canned recordings telling me to hit this number or that number and finally after three or four minutes of this, a recording comes on telling me that they're closed for the holiday and please call Monday. If they want people to choose their service, they sure aren't going about it the right way. I was so irritated with them at the end of all this that I was ready to fling the phone across the room. The only thing that saved the poor phone is that "across the room" was filled with three incubators of tortoise eggs.
The technician that came out today said my wire in the distribution box was loose. He tightened it and checked the line and everything looks good. He's the one that told me I have the slowest DSL they sell. I've had DSL ever since it became available, probably before there was any other speed to it. Before that I had dial-up, so you can imagine how fast my slow DSL was to me. I was in heaven. Really, when it works properly, it's still fast enough for my use. The only thing is trying to watch videos. I keep getting the pause thing. But I don't watch that many so it really isn't a problem.
I hope I never have to deal with AT&T on the phone ever again. You can't get a real person. Just recorded messages telling you to hit this number or that number, and even if you hit zero over and over, you never get a real person.

Hi!
11.6lbs later my scale doesn't recognize me.
When I lived at home, dial-up was all there was until I got a wireless card for my laptop. I had the same feeling, it seemed so fast. I think it was probably comparable to DSL. If you call to cancel, you can probably get something faster for the same or a lower price.
Idk, but I prefer the robots to talking to an operator.

Way to go Kiddo! Keep up with the diet/exercise! Personally, I am with Yvonne, I want to deal with a human, an English speaking one who can talk clearly enough for me to hear what they say.

I feel like I've been lifting weights. It was house plant watering day and my 3 Aloe vera plants must have weighed 60lbs each! Tote them outside water heavily and let the excess drain, then tote them back in. Along with my mango and avocado tree. I'm tired now..

Tryptophan!
Charlie got himself wedged between the storage shed and the fence. He loves going around the storage shed and he fits if he walks straight but this time he tried to turn around halfway. A lot of pushing and pulling with 3 people helping me and we finally got him out. I guess I'm going to have to block it off.
