Hey, do you want to really start some crap?? Get hold of the list of all the proposed "pork" that didn't get passed, but provided jobs, no matter who proposed the bills, in the last 10 years. Then, put all those together into a JOBS BILL and watch the reps and congress squirm!! If they vote against their own proposal, you will know they need to get out of government office - they are obstructionist and are only there to fill their pockets.

Lawn and Carpet
Today, the lawn gets cut again, and I start pulling carpet out of this place. I have till school starts to get rid of ALL of it! Self-imposed deadline, but I don't want to deal with it during school. I want to sand the floor smooth, fill in the holes left from construction, and then seal it from insects, stains and stuff that can grow in it. I also need to seal all the cracks - there are a lot of them in the foundation of this 2-year old house. That should get me through winter, and I'll be able to cover the stuff I actually walk on with rugs.
Next purchase - fencing and lumber for the garden beds. I need to get that started.
The pole got moved so I need help moving the shed. That will give me room for the BBQ and a picnic setup near the back door. Any volunteers?
I pray the enough comes in this month to pay the bills. It's pretty short.

UN-Happy Customer!
I've had Comcast internet and telephone for several years now. I moved to a business account when I got the house, so that I would have faster repair service - 4 hours guaranteed instead of 48 hours. It made sense. I have phone and internet with them, and working on the internet, I am out of business without it. And no-one can reach me if the phone goes out and I can't even call in to Comcast to report an outage! So, business class seemed like the way to go.
Once I got signed for the contract, however, things started to go downhill.
First, the installer put a huge hole in the wall instead of going through the wall. He cut right into the wall board. It made a hole. He promised he would come back and fix it. That took 2 weeks and several phone calls on my part, and I had to supply the spackle. He never came back to finish the job.
When I had to cut back, I was told that I had a contract, and my service could not be converted to a home account. So, I cut off the home TV service, instead. That saved me about $70 a month. Fine and dandy, right? Nope! About once every 5 - 7 days, the service was cut off for phone and internet. One day, I had a client with me, and I happened to be looking out the window when the truck drove up to cut off the service again. I walked out and spoke to the technician, and he had to call in to see that there was only one line from the pole to the building, but there were 2 services. He had to change a label on the line so they would stop cutting off my service.
Then, we had a big storm, and while I am guaranteed a 4 hour turnaround, I was willing to give them the 2 days I was down. Until I called their office after the second outage, and was hassled by the clerk for asking to have my calls forwarded to my cellphone. I don't know the PIN number, and I would have no idea where to look for it. He insisted that I give him the number or he would not forward my calls. I got very forceful, and asked for his supervisor. He came back on the line, and forwarded my calls. I wasn't calling because I was out of town, and my service was just needing to be forwarded. I was calling because I had lost service and needed to receive my calls. What a *&#(*@)!
When I wanted to have call forwarding added to my service, (I take off call waiting and voice mail), I had to go in to the office and drive 13.5 miles one way. They refused to help me over the phone, after several attempts. While there, I spoke with a business account person, and he said that they didn't worry about business accounts until they were 4 months overdue, and then they would get a courtesy notice. They didn't cut off service until a business account was 6 months past due. Well, I was cut off this morning - at 2 months past due. I had the payment in the envelope to go to them, but I had to drive 13.5 miles each way to pay the bill and have service restored.
I can't tell you how P&*#$! I am!!! This company has not kept a single promise to me since they got me to sign up for a business class account. Their commercials are all bright and shiny, and they promise great customer service, but they don't deliver. And they even offer the same program I have - with faster internet service - for less money. That's a new program. But you see, I'm locked into this contract. I can't get out of it.
As soon as my contract is up, I'm finding another provider. I don't care if it costs $3500 to have the service hooked up! I'm through with Comcast!
