Hey guys. I am still away from home and so am limited as to what I can do. However, I hate being away from this thing - it really does drive me batty - almost as much as I get sick of being here after a few weeks of that. All in all, I'm much happier blogging than not; let's face it, I need to run my mouth... about something, or nothing at all. I just need to blather and I've come to accept that about me. At any rate, a few PRs have come through that I figured I would go on and share with you while I am here.
Oh, we should be back to "near" normal next week. I say "near" because I'm not sure what speed I'll be at and that may be a problem. Long story short, my provider overcharged me 2-3 months in a row. They admit they overcharged me, but - get this: they want me to go ahead and pay the entire amount they overcharged me or they are going to cut my services! The "pro-rated amount," that is, the amount they overcharged me to begin with, will show up on my next bill!
To be frank, I do not have it. And - and I really would love to hear your thoughts on this - due to the nature of this issue, I really don't know if I would pay the full amount, even if I could! I mean, how nasty is that!? It's their mistake, they admit that, yet I'm supposed to pay what amounts to like three months' service at once or else!
If it seems like I'm always having issues with my internet service, it's only half true: I've never had any problems with dial-up services, but yes, every, single time I have added high-speed services, I end-up getting screwed. But Charter is known for screwing its customers; this particular company, TDS, I don't know about. However, I've had phone services with them for over three years now and never had a single problem! (Well, no problems that couldn't be handled - you know.) I had their high-speed services for about eight months before problems started too, so I can't say they've been all that bad a company, we just happen to differ here. After all, had I made a mistake on paying them, they sure as hell wouldn't credit me the difference to their loss!

Guys, I have been trying like heck to get stuff out to you all day long without success. I'd forgotten just how much a hassle dial-up can be!
I have had to be on the phone and am still waiting for a phonecall which I expected some hours ago. Of course, my attempts to reach them has led directly to voicemail... the whole thing is just a mess and I dread the possibility of having to deal with it again.
