I think its a great idea but my other half would change the locks while I was away and not let me back.

listening to the ESPN people talk about the world cup. I mean, people are tuning in to watch Brazil play futbol and if they change the channel too early they get to hear this profound :rolleyes:

Never mind, apparently this TV is tuned to ESPN2....now I have to find the waitress to change it to ESPN so I can see the effing match...:rolleyes:

GRRRR...Comcast absolutely freaking sucks.

Comcast repeatedly calls my office phone (their phone number, according to the caller ID, is 678-393-7960) asking me how much I spend on phone service. When I tell them that I don't spend anything, they hang up on me.

When I call the number back, I get a "Comcast's voice message box is full. Please call back later."

So then I call Comcast on their published phone line, and tell them to stop calling my office phone. But then I get told that I have to talk to business services, since they are calling a business line. :confused: ...?

All I want is for them to stop calling my office. What the heck is wrong with these idiots?

Stand-by denied. Bars opened at 10. I think we all know what comes next...:D

Was thinking about you when I saw the OKC floods on the news. glad you were ok!

simple solution, when they call do not answer their dumb question for them to hang up, tell them NEVER call here again.

Of 200+ businesses that flooded by my home last month, the one I'm actively missing is the Harbor Freight. I'll take "Signs I'm old and a homeowner for $400".

So totally OT, but I know we’ve got tons of IAH people here so I’m wondering if anyone else is having trouble with their T-Mobile service today? Started last night for me, can’t send or receive calls. It says I have 0 bars of signal (but it can still find a tower) and it’s not just at home (Katy), I’ve got it at work too (UH).

Anyone else in the IAH area having this problem?

The BA Award for a single OneWorld Carrier N. America--->S. America is 80,000 roundtrip in C, but as the name suggests, you are limited to a single carrier (and only LA can get us to IPC).

Had I replicated a similar itinerary with two or more OneWorld carriers (LA, AA, and/or MX), the reward cost would be based on mileage flown, and would have cost roughly 200,000mi. per ticket in C.

Hi Box, Good Afternoon from Stamford CT.

An open letter to all my clients:

Dear Clients:

Please stop asking where on our product you can find what the price of a stock will be tomorrow. I realize this is funny to you, as you are perhaps hearing it for the first time. However it is, at minimum, the 42,896th time I've been subjected to this particular witicism. It ceased being funny about 7 years ago.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Regards,
adelauro

I assume that you have turned off your phone completely and turned it back on. Sometimes a phone has to reset to a signal for whatever reason.

Yeah, tried that, and it’s not just my phone either. I guess T-Mobile’s having problems in the area. What I don’t get is that it’s a pretty big area (Katy to UH) to be having problems in.

Anyways, back to your regularly scheduled box. :D

Looks like we won't be staying at Explora Rapa Nui. Holy bankruptcy, Batman! :eek:
