'Lies My Parents Told Me'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Teppy, any dad news?
He's having an angiogram at this very moment (angiogram #2 in less than 1 week), to see what's what. Hopefully they can figure out what the "some things" are that are "in the back" of his heart. I'm going over there (the hospital is 10 minutes from my office) in about half an hour.
ita, when I was in NYC for one summer and moved back to A2, they held my mail for weeks and claimed it was because they wouldn't deliver to my mailbox without a label on it. The name label had fallen off. WTF kind of policy is that-- they're delivering to my new mailbox with an old label on it ok.
Teppy, I hope things will go as well as possible with your father, and that quick and easy-to-solve figuring out will take place.
Making any changes to mail delivery is always a dicey proposition. I can even believe my mail man was trying to be nice when he returned my paycheck because there was no name on my mailbox, but COME ON. I was taking all the rest of the mail addressed to me, wasn't I?
This has come up here before, I think....
Cable’s digital drive irks basic customers
PHILADELPHIA - LaRonika Thomas got upset when Comcast moved the Sci-Fi channel to its digital service this summer, ensuring she couldn’t continue to watch her favorite show, “Firefly,” without paying $20 more a month.
The Chicago resident received The Golf Channel instead on her basic, analog cable service.
“I don’t watch golf. I would rather have static on than that channel,” said the theater director.
“It’s an awfully big cost,” said Thomas. “I haven’t canceled my service yet, but I may.”
I kinda' wanna tell her, "Just buy the Firefly DVDs."
My office is freezing, and the tapes database is down.
So I can't do any work, and I'm COLD.
Someone should bring me hot chocolate.
Colin's series has gotten 13 episodes picked up! Eureka, on the Sci Fi Channel. Luckily I both don't have Comcast and do have digital.
Hooray for Colin! And look who else is in the cast...
