Quickie here

Wonder how long I will be able to stay on this time? Day 4 of the phone company coming out to fix my phone. Today they call me and tell me that they have finally found the phone box that had been mangled by county mowers. I had told them exactly where to find it. The box will have to be replaced. Wonder how long that will take? I kept both calls they made to me about it. If the phone company tries to slip in an extra charge on me I will go off on them. I pay enough as it is. They will continue to hear from me until it is fixed. AND when it is fixed I will be calling for a refund for not being able to fully use my phone service. Because I am hearing impaired I have to really pay close attention when I am on the phone in order to hear what is being said. I have volume control which helps me but it also amplifies the horrible crackling and popping noise.

Pat and I went riding this morning. We did not get to take a long ride. The winds were getting a bit too much. The horses were hearing spooks on the wind. We rode thru an area on very high grass and weeds which made Precious nervous, me too. When I was thrown from her and broke my back we were in high weeds. I think she may still have memories of that or maybe she could just feel my apprehension. I let Pat know what was going on and he immediately cut over to shorter grass. Precious stopped and saw where Crystal was on she broke out in a rack and headed straight to Crystal. She was relieved to get out of that.

Brook will be home shortly and we will be heading out. Have a couple errands to run before TaeKwonDo.

See everyone later. Give a hollar if you wish. By the way, if you could please leave your journal link even if you leave nothing else. For some reason I lost a lot of my journals I had on alerts. My alerts look empty. I only have 5 there and o boy did I have more than that! I do not have all my journal links in my favorite folder and I need to rectify that. Thanks.

  4. Celeste, i would definetly tell your phone company that yoyu would like credit for all teh months you have had to deal with this crap...believe me sometimes threating can do wonders...I do it with my cell phone and my cable...If my cable goes out even for 1 day..i expect a credit, why should i have to pay for sumthing i cannot use completely...If you dont do it then they thik they can provide rotten service and get away with it...Take a stand!
    Sounds like a kinda scary ride, don't you get to feeling kinda scared...gee i think i would! My alerts are finally working right after 3 weeks,. maybe i should contact AOL and complain huh...lol
