I have had it, I'm done. Time Warner Cable sucks big rotten eggs---I would say something else, but this is sort of usually a family program. They are going to get to come get their cable box and remote. If I have to drive to Ashland --my local office--almost an hour's drive away from my home, I'm going to be pissed. And they are going to know it. (Come to think of it, the best place to get the camo's my husband wears to work--and which need replaced badly---is in Ashland also--could combine the trip, but I can still be pissed).
What prompted this is that I have now gone for 2 days with no cable. Yes my bill is paid up to date. No I was not disconnected. I am just getting a screen of nothing but snow and I may not be able to get someone out here til Monday to check it out, since I am apparently the only one left in my neighborhood with cable, and they don't send someone out to check the box at the poles until at least 3 people call to complain. This is what I am told AFTER I have gotten pissed and pissed off the tech and demanded to speak to her supervisor. He at least was polite when he came on the phone, after only a couple of minutes of being on hold, which beats their usual record by at least 10 minutes. So I apologized for the words I used to his clerk, explained my problem and supposedly the local office will call me first thing in the morning to get someone out here in the morning. After I explained that I work for a living and won't be here after noon.
That's ok. When/IF they call, I'm going to tell them that since I won;t be home to use the tv for a few days anyway, they can just come out Monday and pick up their equipment, because I am going DISH. I told you I have had it. At least with DISH I can be mad with 200 channels. The kids will get a shocker, because I WILL block several channels, including MTV, Comedy Central, FUSE, BET, and so on. And they will never figure out my code. But there are plenty of other channels for them to choose from. I may just block Nick and Disney as well. I'm kind of tired of them, and there are plenty of Discovery type channels they can watch.
We leave Friday to start our trip to get the boys in CT. I made the executive decision to leave then and drive about halfway, stop, then drive the rest of the was, pick them up and at least get back into PA before we stop for the night. Of course this probably ticked off the ex, but right now, I'm not too concerned. He picked them up at 8-9 am 5 weeks ago, technically I could pick them up at the same time and be well within my rights. But I will be nice to all of us, but especially my mom, who for yet another year is watching Shellie so we can make this trip and not feel like we have to find the child a new home before we even get out of the state. The way I have it planned, we should be back midafternoon or so on Sunday, maybe a little later, but well before anything resembling dark.
I can;t wait to have them back!!!I have missed them something awful lately.
Ok another point to be made. The news ticker at the top of my screen touts a research study or something that gives 237 reasons to have sex. I can come up with several reasons without any help whatsoever from the general public, but I bet I could come up with even more not to have sex.
1. it causes kids.
2. it causes kids.
3. it causes kids.
Need I go on?
Not that I would trade my kids for anything in the world (Ok maybe a winning lottery ticket for the biggest Powerball jackpot ever--just to show local embarassment Jack Whitakker how to handle money), but the fact remains, sex causes kids. Maybe not the first time or the first 300 times, but eventually, for a great many people who probably shouldn't have kids (yes there are days I include me in this), it causes kids.
Just a thought, they know what causes that these days......
