Comcast "inadvertently" didn't apply all the discounts that showed when we signed up. Uh huh. The actual first bill was $50 higher than the price showing at sign up. Crooks.

I wanted to be a Monk, but I never got the chants.
Think my Grandma only has a day or two now.
She was already frail with dementia but caught phenomena a few days ago and declined into a coma. She asked for no IV months back when she was lucid so we're letting nature take it's course. She's comfortable in her room at a nursing home and all the extended family has been in to say goodbye.
Been hard to watch, she was the sharpest lady I knew until the last couple year. She could talk ancient history or current events in great depth for hours, read everything, books, Nat Geo, the newspaper cover to cover every day. She worked for the Canadian Intelligence Service, and had some fascinating insights on organized crime. She mapped our family tree back to the 1700's and could tell you endless stories of distance relatives from memory. She was also a wonderful pianist despite not reading music. You could hum her a tune and she'd freestyle it, and she played the organ in her church choir until her early 80's. Tough, self-taught, good Christian lady who grew up poor with strong values and raised a wonderful family. They just don't make them like her anymore.
Dementia is a bitch though, and despite living a long life, it's been hard on my mom and uncles to see her independence, sharp whit and memory completely disappear over the past year, sometimes seemingly in leaps and bounds overnight. She's in a nice nursing home but just hasn't been peaceful there at all. She'd constantly ask when she could go home...
I hope this last few hours or days go swiftly.

Spent the afternoon trying to get my land line fixed yesterday.
Apparently a couple of weeks ago when the guys were changing out the power poles they screwed up my phone line.
I've been operating without a land line and half an internet since April 6th. (two copper wires enter the house, internet uses both. One of mine has been taken from me)
those gay fags
I had two guys here yesterday from the internet/phone provider and they were up on a ladder at the pole. One guy was a supervisor with all sorts of experience according to the initial guy handling the call and they couldn't do it. They've put a call into the 'cable guys', workers with the bucket on the truck and apparently they can get it fixed.
And dammit I should have taken a picture yesterday. First guy was Herbert, a little Filipino dude and his supervisor was a brown guy named Saru. I shit you not it said that right on his shirt and I asked for verification, then told him about his namesake on Discovery
