I wish there was an option for customer service numbers where you can pick "I am not a total idiot." I got the new TV. Everything hooked up super easy except that Comcast is stuck on channel 8. It won't change with the channel up/down or by pushing in numbers on the remote. I did troubleshooting on their forum and website to no avail. I just spent an hour on the phone with their customer service of which we spent twenty minutes figuring out what brand of TV I have and what remote they gave me when they installed the cable. The other 40 minutes was spent inputting the same codes I got from the website to program the remote and waiting on hold while they got more codes which didn't work either. If I could have skipped doing all of this for the rep, we could have just skipped to the part where they tell me to go to one of their offices tomorrow and get another remote without the hour wait.
Comcast is without a doubt the worst company I have ever dealt with.
I'm so sick of sickness. Our family has caught just about everything that's gone around for the past 4-5 months. Right now my daughter has a mild fever virus, my husband is very sick with a stomach virus, and I think I have a kidney infection. I've missed a lot of work and I'm worried about my job. I'm also worried I will not have any time off to use for Roo.
My mother in law recently told us that my husband's first cousin has lymphoma. We've been trying to get in touch with said cousin and her brother since we found out but they're not answering the phone or returning calls
Dan'Roo, I'm sorry to hear about your friend. It sounds like you've already gotten some good advice. Cancer can suck it.

I think Geico still holds the title for me. Abra got rear ended by a woman in South Knoxville who immediately said she had terrible neck and back pain and left in an ambulance ASAP. The KPD officer got her name and info first, ran her record and saw that she had 3 citations in the previous 12 months for failure to have insurance. Despite this, Geico made us wait 6 weeks before paying a dime on the accident (including any repairs on our car or anything on doctor visits) while they awaited response from her insurance company.
Not sure this is what this thread is for, but Quack united airlines for delaying my return home at least 3 hours at this point.
Sorry to hear that ODY. The rapid transport of flight is glorious.. but how it does suck once you are in the 'system' and can't break out, get delayed. Hang in there. Go stir things up in Mafia. You asked for a summary... absolutely nothing happening.
So I think I'm deleting my account/taking an extended hiatus after this weekend. My life kind of sucks right now and I really need to get things together before I take (another) turn for the worse.. Severing ties with all my online "distractions" seems like something I should do, though I'm sure I'll regret it after about a day.

I was in a similar place this past fall. Took a break. Came back feeling refreshed and feeling better than ever. Depending so much on your online life can blur the lines of reality and sometimes stepping back for a little while is the best thing to do. Hope it all works out for you and can't wait to say welcome back!

Life always seems to get in the way. I've said this before but I totally agree with Phi. Don't delete, man. Take some time off and regroup. Get shiz that you need together.
Inforoo will always be around when you want/need us. Seeing "guest" below your name will be more heartbreaking because it just feels more permanent.
I'm not sure what all is going on but if you ever need an ear, I'm always around.

Sorry life sucks right now, bansheebeat. Whatever it is, it will get better. Take as long of a break as you need, & we'll be here when you return. There are lots of people here who would be happy to lend a hand or ear as well. We're here for you.

I'm getting married in September, and because we live thirty minutes from Lake Tahoe, we had planned on having the wedding somewhere on the lake. We chose September because my mom can't take off work before then to come out here. We were going to have it the third weekend of September because she couldn't take off the week of Labor Day and my friend's birthday was the second weekend. But then my mom couldn't get off the third weekend and could get off the week of Labor Day, so we decided to change it. We first thought we were going to do it on a party boat actually on the lake, but that turned out to be a bust because the boat was kind of old and there was no place to sit down. With three of the people who are supposed to be at the wedding having had knee replacements, that wasn't going to work. So then we found a grassy beach area with a beautiful view of the lake, and we decided that was a great place for it. We called to make a reservation and were told that the lady who does the reservations would have to call us back. That was two days ago and she hasn't called back. I could call her, but after we visited the beach the other day, my grandparents called to suggest that maybe we would want to fly back to TN and have the wedding there which is actually to say that they want us to fly back to TN and have the wedding there because (1) it would be cheaper for them to fly us out there than it would for them to fly themselves and my mom, stepdad, and brother out here, and (2) my grandmother hates to fly. At first, I was really upset because I had my ideas about having the wedding out here at the lake and all that, but the more I started thinking about it, the more I warmed up to the idea. So, I called my grandfather this morning to say that we were okay with that and would come out there, and he tells me he found frequent flyer tickets for my mom, stepdad, and brother, so the cost of them coming out here would actually be about the same as us coming out there, and we shouldn't worry about that in deciding where to have it. We've only been planning this thing for like a month, and it's been the biggest headache of the entire thirteen years we've been together. Part of me just wants to forget the whole thing and go get married by a justice of the peace. Part of me wants to have my wedding out here at the lake with the people who will be able to come out here. And part of me wants to have it in TN where it will be a whole lot cheaper for us and where more of my old friends will be able to come. Sooooo frustrated.

Maybe have the actual ceremony in one place and a second get together/reception in another? Or would that just double the headache?

I think that if we do go back to TN for it, we will probably have some kind of party/celebration here sometime afterward, although I'm not sure when that would end up being, as it starts getting pretty cold by the end of September. If we have it here, this will be the only place we do anything.

It gets better all the time it seems to me for some reason. Here's to you that it will be that way for you too .....
I helped set up a former Roo gal (who some of you know. (Tygerlady) to get a little puppy to keep her company. She is getting to a place where a little friend to greet her each morning would make the difference of smiling or crying some days. I feel so sad for her sometimes. She was and is tuff as nails but sometimes life sort of gets to you. The little puppy passed away yesterday just a week from when she was going to get the little guy. I cry a bit as I type this. I don't mind spending bucks for her and a little one, but I didn't realize how hard it is to get a little puppy (not from rescue, all my pets cept BonnieRoo are that kind)...I just have to look some more. cr****

You too huh?
Yeah, I can live without the corporate malarky. I'm just riding out my time until I find a better job, or get fired once they figure out that whole radical socialist thing.
