Wait a minute, AOL is still in business and... they still offer dial up internet service???? If you have a wifi device and there's a hospital nearby, they are great places fr free wifi. |

I hate it when people shove their religion in your face. I'm not talking about the people knocking on your front door...you can ignore them and they go away. I'm talking about a relative or someone at work or someone you meet at a party, etc. "Have you been saved yet?" "Have you found Jesus?" "I'd love to have you come to church service this Sunday". I really don't know how to respond to these people without sounding like an atheist or a jerk. And it always comes up unexpectedly, no warning, so you're never prepared with an answer. Why do these people think it's okay to ask such personal questions??

I didn't think people even did that anymore. Especially at work.
You can get in trouble with the bosses for that kind of thing in most companies nowadays. And rightly so. The workplace is no place for that. |

Break time. Conversations tend to drift all over the place. That's where I was "invited" to church. I guess they think they're just being friendly, but it really puts someone on the spot. I mean, how do you decline graciously?

Tell them you're Jewish (or thinking of becoming one).

Nah.
Just be right up front with them. Politely tell them you're agnostic and you're not interested. If they persist, engage them in a long, drawn out religious debate in which you refuse to back down one inch until it becomes such an unpleasant experience for them, they avoid even making eye contact with you anymore. I once made a group of Jehova's Witnesses start looking at their watches and saying "Uhhh, it's getting kinda late and we'd better get going..." And I just kept on. Wouldn't let them leave. |

OMG!!!!!! After seeing that video I don't think I'll be as annoyed anymore when someone gets in my face about religion. Nothing will compare to that! I hope no one complains about the video. It's a "must see". However, I do like the idea of debating them until they crumble in defeat (or fatigue).

If you can get Spectrum in your area, their internet is super fast and they probably have a low rate for new customers.

As inexplicably as AOL shut down their dial-up, it's back up after a week. And just a day before I was going to track down Netzero. What a nightmare, but I learned how stupid people are. Went to several (and big name) electronic stores. I asked "I have a computer that can't connect to the internet. Do you have software for connecting a computer to the internet?" Some of the responses:
"No, you need to download it from the internet." "What's an ISP?" "Your computer has Windows 7? That's not supported anymore, so you need to replace your computer." (This from an Office Depot manager...) I'm not modern tech savvy, but I still know more than the people I had to deal with... <rolls eyes> |

Spectrum is notorious for not being available when you call about outages. They just don't want to deal with unhappy customers. You can call for an outage credit, but I don't know if it's worth the aggravation to get a couple bucks back.

Jeez! What a crappy morning I'm having. Care to join my pity party? I went to out local grocery store to buy something to help me sleep, Nyquil always works pretty well. CLOSED! I went to Culver's- CLOSED! McDonald's is open but they don't serve lunch until 11:00 on Sunday. I drove by Hardee's- 6 to 8 cars in the drive-thru and they probably are serving breakfast only at 10:15 in the AM. I went to Arby's- CLOSED! On my loop around the west side of Oshkosh, I went to Wendy's- The lady said, what would you like for breakfast?" I can't get lunch? I said. By this time we are at about 10:25. She said it would be 10 to 15 minutes. Okay! I said in desperation! 20 minutes later they bring me my sandwich. (sigh)

I went to Walgreen's for my annual Easter candy raid. They had it priced "Buy 4 get 1 free".

Stopped by at Publix, found their Easter stuff half off. Picked up 2 of the big bags of candy I usually get, so set for a year. I budgeted $20 for this year, still have $4 left to spend...

I've been moving around so much today my bad foot is cramping up. Let me apologize for being so self centered in these trying times. Extended Stay Hotels- Wow! As much as $1500 a month! The mortgage on this house probably be about that much! I will just need to stay in town a month or so to tie up any loose ends. Storage unit- About $50 a month and they are scarce. The guy told me to reserve one at the end of the month. 2 Men and a Truck- Less than I thought it would! We will probably have 2 destinations. About $600. I need to get rid of everything the wife doesn't want. She didn't really say so but I can tell she is having trouble being approved for an apartment with an income of $2090 a month. I have no income, just a pretty good chunk of money from the house. If something goes wrong with that, I am screwed! I did make a new best friend forever. Bob, the guy who bought the boat, and he got a hell of a deal too. Bob is a used car salesman/mechanic, 65 years old. The kind of guy who will talk your ear off. The wife had to sign off on the title for the boat so he had to come back over here today. I said, Bob. You got a minute. There's an annual city wide yard sale at the end of May. I'm not even sure that will happen. I showed Bob all of the stuff I want to get rid of. Extension ladder Air compressor Electric wood splitter Jack stands Floor jack Generator Edger Spreader Spiker Shop vac OH! And did I mention the big screen TV? He said he would bring his trailer and another man tomorrow. Call me crazy, maybe so. This is a situation where I have to liquefy. If/when I go back to Indiana, I will have only what I can fit in the back seat of my truck. (extended cab). |
