Remember cursive? It happened in 2nd grade. I don’t know what the deal is now. Then, it was this pencil with lead the size of some huge pasta with a funny name and a barrel the size of a cigar. The paper was ugly yellow with one line the size of two. We did our “exercises” consisting of pages of O’s and / linked together. We swirled and slashed ad nauseum. The boys hated it. The girls excelled. Yeah, we were sexist at a very early age. Read more…
Drop your — rhymes with blocks — and grab your socks. The lady blogger are authorize to improvise. I have a reader that I use. Most of you figured out how to authorize a feed. My feed is full of a variety of subject. The ones I held dear are poker blogs. OK, the Feds did the first word of that in. You do realize the blog part is still intact, right? Read more…
So, there’s these three guys in a bar — a priest, a minister, and a rabbi. No, let’s make that three bloggers walk into a bar and…now who’d believe that? So belay that. Two robots walk into a monitor…

Well, you read my encounter with Comcast. And now, the other side of the story. Well, the story didn’t change but I got a note from Edith that made me feel better.
99
What’s 99? The number of times I wanted to pull a Waffles. It was tempting. I am pretty good at shots and there were a ton of opening. Not doing so left me on the moral high ground. So, when I got the email from the person who’d done me favors and showed follow through in the process, I sent her both online sessions where I remained a gentlemen.
I am not saying, I won’t blast away like a Bostonian somewhere down the road. And, enjoy the process.
But this time being Mr. Nice worked out.
Good morning Mr. Prevo,
I would like to apologize for the inconvenience you went through. I am checking with the refund department to make sure you receive your refund. I also reviewed your account and its showing that you are paying $ 21.99 for cable and $19.99 for internet. Once the promotion for the internet ends, I will extend it for an additional six months and give you a $10.00 off your cable service. This is the least we can do for your inconvenience and frustration.
Good guys +1
P.S. If you are a Comcast customer, write down that email address I put in the other post.
I guess this is the fourth time I thought that the Comcast mess was resolved. You know me. The eternal optimist, right? The trip stayed convoluted right up to ComcastSteve’s last promise. I class that with a Bill Clinton bodily fluids guarantee. Read more…
AND I AM HERE TO HELP. As poker players we have encountered those folks. It is laughingly referred to as Level One Support. It isn’t new. As a geek trying to get something from the monolithic version of AT&T the key was, “Let me speak with the Group Chief Operator.” That was a term that transcended function. There wasn’t a magic phrase that worked at the poker sites. I don’t think there has been a online person that hasn’t had their turn in the barrel. Read more…
No, not Edgar Rice Burrough’s sequel to Tarzan and Jane. It is about the Juggernaut with the Dot-com on the end. Well, it is really about there and everybody else. Shipping is part fiction and part sloth. Read more…
I am not really knocking Lightning. It is his Senators that I’d like to see deported. The new Republican one is bad enough with a mind on being part of the nanny government. But, he pales in comparison to Durbin. The guy is a joke. Sadly, he is a very powerful joke. And that ain’t funny. Read more…
All my troubles seemed so far away. Today, after going through yesterday, that is no longer the theme song. But, on the good side Frontier being my ISP is a thing of the past — their modem is disconnected. Read more…
Well, I lack any brilliant thoughts. You could look shocked or at least not gone pounding on the table lost it! My crappo ISP keeps me from whining about playing poker. So, I thought I’d just update things. I am sure the world’s waiting with baited breath. Read more…
