Merry is the glad word, marry is when you match and wed people (or ideas).
Craig has suggested on his "off line" station gathering pictures of winter and celebrations.
In fact he's running a [video contest |http://www.kyte.tv/ch/72385-friday-morning-report/292138-florida-winter]so folks can share their winters.
One of our community members shared a knowledge nugget with me in Twitter: "that my own holiday, Channukah, has some traditions like Diwali (burning an oil lamp)" for example.
This year was the first time in my life that we did that (rather than just light candles which we did as well).
I like this [picture|http://www.flickr.com/photos/marilynpratt/3131272327/] that has our neighbors Christmas lights blended with our own Channukah oil lamp.
It reminds me of the best things community can be: sharing, lightness, illumination.
Marrying (blending) to make merry (happy) is what our diverse community is all about.
Happy Holidays and a good season.
Thanks to everyone who generously wish these things regardless of where in the world they are and what they celebrate.
We salute you.

  • I got busy over the new year and forgot to purchase Applecare for my iPhone.  30 days past purchase date is too late - right?

    I got busy over the new year and forgot to purchase Applecare for my iPhone.  30 days past purchase date is too late - right?

    Thanks Peter.  I thought about that and had discounted the idea but since I am only 30 minutes away from my A store, I think I'll give it a try. I can be charming specially when I wear clean jeans and a nice top. :-)

  • Happy New Year and help Please!!! IPOD 4th GEN won't Synch??

    Hello,
    And, thanks for reading my question. I recently purchased an IPOD 4th GEN touch from Gamestop. I previously had an ipod that was stolen a few years ago. I had 2000 songs on my itunes and just haven't used it till now.
    When I bought the IPOD I ensured that my itunes and ipod were using the most current software. However, it is not synching my music. It will let me start to synch and then go through steps 1&2 of a five step process before it tells me that itunes has encountered a problem and must shut down. There is no specific code it gives me it just asks whether I'd like to send an error report or not.
    I have ensured my firewall was off. I restarted the IPOD and computer, and still nothing. Same error message and itunes shuts off. I have installed the latest updates to bonjour and quicktime, restarted, and still no remedy.
    I was tempted to uninstall everything but am afraid of losing my music. Only 30-40 songs are in my icloud. I imported the other songs to itunes a long time ago.
    Does anyone know how I can get these songs on my ipod? Thanks in advance for any help and Happy New Year to all...

    You probably need to set up automatic syncing.  If you do not set it up, it will still "sync" but it will sync nothing.
    In iTunes 12, select the iPod so that you see its Summary settings screen (click the "device button" on horizontal bar).  In the iPod's sidebar, under Settings, click Music.  To the right is the iPod's Music settings screen, where you tell iTunes how to sync your iPod.
    Check the box for Sync Music.  This enables automatic syncing for songs.  Below that, if your entire iTunes library fits on your iPod, you can choose the option to sync Entire music library.
    Otherwise, you can choose to sync Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres.  Then, select what you want to sync from the lists below.  On convenient way to set this up is to create one or more playlists in your iTunes library with songs just for the iPod.  Or you can use existing playlists.  On the iPod's Music settings screen, find and select (checkmark) just those playlists under Playlists.
    When you click Apply, iTunes syncs your iPod with your selection(s) on the iPod's Music settings screen, and keeps it "in sync" automatically.

  • HAPPY NEW YEAR and what to cook ?

    I've noticed that the newspapers and news programs on TV ( if you can call them news programs ).. are already gearing up for the never ending barrage of
    " THE YEAR IN PICTURES "   OR
    " THE YEAR OF BREAKING NEWS "
    OR
    You know, the scramble of producers trying to capture the past year of their best stories and live coverage of stuff...
    Is really cheap to produce...and fills up lots of columns and time slots....YIPEE !
    So while I turned off the YULE LOG I am now looking forward to the BARF BAG ....as I am reminded of all the retarded stories of the past year and how the media made it great.
    Like when Lady Ga Ga wore that scary snake costume at the " TV AWARD DINNER FOR REPTILES " event in NOLA last June ?
    So what are we gonna eat for the new year celebration ? Or is it just gonna be BEER THIRTY ! YIPEE !
    for that matter, what are we gonna DRINK ! ??  I don't know about YOU but after a few drinks I don't even care that mayor bloomberg turns the new year celebration into a billy joel " new york state of mind ".

    just finished first steak on skillet... yum....
    however I screwed up slightly...and can easily fix that next time...
    Shooter.. the skillet is " ribbed "...so that it has raised ridges that the meat sits on... so it isn't a " pan " ...it isn't FLAT....it's ribbed....like a grill...where only the raised parts touch the meat.
    Soooo, when you put salt in the thing it sits in the valleys ....and does NOT TOUCH THE MEAT....no salt touches the meat...before or during or after cooking...
    So that's one thing...
    thanks for the heads up about that though, cause I know what you mean.... you wouldn't believe the gazillion recipes and methods I've researched in the past few days about this...
    I know more about SALT now also, than I ever wanted to know .
    And the 3-4 mintute thing... ( this is rib eye boneless about 1.5 - 2 inches thick )...that was too long...
    It's tricky cause I pre heated the skillet....at high.. then turned heat to medium ....where basically the entire skillet including handles were HOT and the thing started so smoke slightly ( very slight ).... Put steak on, turned after 3 min and then left for another 3 min...and then stuck a fork in the top..and some red juice came out...so I screwed up at this point... I turned it OVER again...thinking it was rare....for about 30 seconds.....what a stupid mistake...
    It ended up , in that 30 secs... I got plate, fork and came back to oven and put it on plate... 30 secs...and it was medium in middle instead of medium rare the way I like it....
    I was a jerk.
    I think I can now adjust a couple things re: the level of heat at beginning and the time....but it's pretty darn close.. I mean, like 30 secs made a HUGE difference....
    The other thing that I screwed up on ... is I put the salt in grooves to much... it wasn't touching the meat.. but it did make the meat salty.  Not terrible... I mean, the steak was really yummy...very good... but it can be " better "...
    I have to put about half the amount of salt in the valleys....so when the juice goes onto skilliet the salt makes the juice sorta vaporize and go back into meat...but I used too much salt..
    I'm halfway or more to being where I wanna be with it and it did taste really good.. but it was medium in middle ( grrrr ) and also it was a little salty ( grrrrr ).
    I'll make another one tomorrow....same bat time, same bat channel !
    thanks for your help !

    So you have a problem with people wishing other people a happy New Year?
    However, claiming this thread includes speculation and rumors about Apple policies is absurd.
    If you'd like, I will report you and your concern to the hosts.
    Babowa-
    No, I like people wishing other people a happy new year, and I wish you one too. 
    My posting here was NOT really a complaint about the original post.  It was an experiment.  I am new here and I have had a couple of posts removed on the grounds they did not conform to the site's policies.  So I am trying to understand better how the process works, hence this little "test".  I was looking for a post that did NOT say something negative about Apple but that DID violate at least a strict reading of the rules about acceptable posts.  No, I am not a lawyer, but legal thinking fascinates me.  The Happy New Year post met these criteria.
    Several users have posted to this forum that Apple removes posts that seem to be critical of Apple, regardless of whether they violate the "stated" rules. If these allegations are true,  human judgment would be needed in order to implement Apple's policy and it is not obvious how that judgment is being applied.  I am curious. Does a user "report to the hosts" if he or she is offended by a post?  Does Apple have a computer program that screens for key words?  Does Apple have employees who try to read as many posts as possible?
    By way of background and to explain further my motivation, my deleted posts I thought were constructive and consistent with the stated "terms of use".  It could be taken as critical of Apple, however.  So I browsed the forum in search of something that was NOT critical of Apple but that I thought was even less consistent with the stated terms of use than my deleted post. Clearly, this "Happy New Year" post is not a technical question. It was written by a non-native English speaker who may or may not have been drinking in celebration.   It is not offensve, but it is "clutter."  Also, "Avoid Speculation and Rumor" is a standard that can be interpreted both very narrowly or very broadly. Apple could use that standard to justify deleting almost any post that included a statment about what Apple might do in the future, and so I mentioned that too.
    The hypothesis in my little experiment (thanks for playing) is that Apple will NOT delete the "Happy New Year" post even though it could be categorized as inconsistent with the rules.  If so, then the theory that Apple has an "unwritten" rule of deleting posts on this forum that are critical of Apple would be strenghened.  Of course, Apple could view this post as being "not constructive" and delete it while leaving the "Happy New Year" post  I may have just defeated the purpose of my experiment by answering your question as frankly as I have.
    My current thinking is that I should not waste time expressing opinions here or engaging in "community-building" posts here.  This forum seems to be a brilliant innovation by Apple to get its customers to do the "support work" for it while also enforcing the same strict standards it imposes on its own workforce.  I've posted too much.  I hope I have not offended. "Like" if you like.

  • Multiple libraries, projects and reorganizing for the new year

    I have used Aperture since 1.0 and really like it but the growing pains are still present - over time of use, I've ended up with multiple libraries [2 main ones and 2-3 little ones that probably can be safely archived]. I want to start fresh in the new year and have a new Library that is my main one, my only one in fact == is it possible/feasible/desireable to export projects from Library A and B and then import the ones i want into my 2007 Library the way my new organizing system will be? I mainly have images according to geography and people [e.g. people in locations versus family and friends]. Can I consolidate all my Libraries into one new one for use in the future ?? Will exporting each project and then importing into my new master Library work??

    I've been thinking just a little about what features I would like the next rev of aperture to have. Though I haven't thought through the specifics, easier and more efficient use and management of multiple libraries, projects etc would be nice. Whole aperture projects referenced from multiple libraries or some such? (I said I hadn't thought it through!)
    It's over a year since aperture came out, macworld is coming up, and I suspect that 2.0 will be released eventually some time in the future, perhaps with changes (maybe even improvements!) in library and project workflow.
    So while I too am considering how to organize my own aperture materials I am currently holding off for bit just in case there might maybe possibly be (Conjecture Warning!!!) something new announced soon....

  • Failure to fix my cable for over a year and a half! HELP!

    Failure to fix my cable for over a year and a half! HELP!
    I regretfully have to inform you that I might have to discontinue using Comcast, for the following reasons if I cannot et you to resolve these issues. It should be noted that this is something that I do not want to have to do. However, basically I have no choice.
    1. Repeated and Constant Internet Issues and Poor TV Quality for over a year.
    2. A substandard quality of service, just even compared to my next door neighbors who has Comcast. The service has issues daily. Not a week has gone bye without an issue either small or large.
    3. Constant and repeated interrupt of service and an overall low quality of product. Time Outs, High Ping rates into the 100s and 200s, Cable Light Off, Poor Quality of TV picture, fuzzy, Digital Blocking even on non-digital channels with or without box, Occasional CB Radio chatter over interment connection <-(the odd one).
    4. The constant run around from the employee’s at Comcast and Service Department who either are unable to fix my problem, or unwilling to fix my problem, or have no one qualified to fix the problem. The amount of service calls and tech support personal I have had come to my house and had to call is so numerous I cannot even recall the amount.
    5. Paying full price for a substandard quality and product while others around me do not have too. Including my next door neighbor which does not seem to have an issue.
    The Story-
    I purchased this house over a year and a half ago. Note; I did think it was odd that the pervious owner of this house had Comcast TV, but a DSL internet connection (I know now why he had to do that). In a brief conversation with him recently when he was visiting our next door neighbors he told me of how he had the same issues and had to switch to DSL.
    I am, and always have been an avid Cable user and in particular for the Internet as the Broadband just makes it so much more enjoyable. I used Time Warner Cable for over 7-years prior to “having to” use Comcast with great service and good connection and a highly enjoyable time over the internet playing games and surfing the web. I have to use the words :“having too”, as you are the only Broad Band Internet connection in my area currently (I moved to the Burbs, not the Boonies) so I still don’t understand why my choices are limited. Must be nice to have a Monopoly though. : ), and I am starting to think this maybe part of my problems and why nothing is being done.
    In any case, my internet use is for entertainment only. Surfing the Web, playing video games, Online Classes, and whatnot. Nothing life treating, or a must have service and basically, fun for the family, not for frustration. I like to use Cable as I never have to worry about the line cutting out or losing connection. This used to be the case, but with Comcast I do have to worry about this, and it happens often. Simply put: it is NOT always ON as advertised, at least for me.
    The Issues-
    From day one, I have had nothing but repeated and constant issues with my internet service. I don’t even think I had Comcast a week before I had to make my fist service call. See I was used to another Cable service and silly me expected my cable to work. From there it was all downhill. I have had so many service calls its actually outlandish and would be funny if it was someone else. Its like a TV sitcom actually.
    Each and every service call goes the same way. Tech comes out, stands around, recognizes the problem and leaves. No fixes mind you, and the reasons are below.
    Recent History-
    With the internet on the fritz again and only seeming to get worse I decided to call and have someone come out and check it. A preemptive strike on my part in other words, before it totally blew out like it does and taking days for it to come back on. I have been dealing with this for over a year getting kind of frustrated with the whole process.
    I talk to the service department and they also see the issue (sporadic interrupt of service and poor quality). With so many problems and the list ever growing most likely on my report the service guy said he would send a Line Tech out to check my problem on Monday (the ninth).
    I think to myself finally some progress and it only took a year, a real Line Tech my issue is sure to be solved.
    Unfortunately, the apparent Line Tech does and did the same as every other tech sent to the house. Set around for 20 or so minutes futzing around with the computer. Notes the issue of single loss and poor TV quality makes some notes and says sign here. *take note of paragraph below about Line Tech.
    Around Thursday, I call up the service department basically asking if and when my service problems will be fixed. With little shock and surprise I was told that nothing is scheduled the last service call the Line Tech was not really a Line Tech and I should have been called back and or at least informed of that a Line Tech was not scheduled to be sent. This is normal by the way.
    The Phone Tech checked my service and found that an issue did exist and proceeded to tell my that he would advise his supervisor of the issue. He also stated that if someone had not called me by 6:00PM this coming Saturday, that I could call and he would expedite matters.
    Tick-Tock-Tick-Tock-Tick-Tock-Tick-Tock
    Saturday at 6:20PM I call up the service department, punch in my phone number and low and behold I’m sent immediately to the Clams Department instead of the Service Department LOL.
    After explaining the issue to the Clams Department (my thinking is at this point is; why pay for it if its not working and they wont fix it) I am transferred to the Service Department after a brief expiation of the issue. I guess I am a little late with my bill, but can you blame me?
    The Run Around-
    Talking to a new service persona again which is the same with ever tech sent to the house (Never the same one twice). Apparently nothing is on my report about this call I made earlier, or he does not note it.
    The new service tech while helpful and curious taking the brunt of my frustrations at this point goes through the same procedures that I have been through so many times now I know them by hart. I acknowledge the fact ahead of time to myself that my tone although frustrated is nothing personal, and the service tech should not take it personally. Its just that at this point I’m beyond frustrated. I try to be as understanding and curious as I can while he tries to help me.
    I explain the repeated problems and what is going on. In this instants the service tech mentions something about some service package (come kind of other signal maybe being sent to the modem).
    At the time my internet is somewhat working with only a few time outs and just above normal pings so I cant really blame him for not seeing an issue. I’m mainly calling just to find out why I didn’t receive a phone call, or get another appointment to have this checked into.
    My service was cutting out right before I called, which is why I called. The service tech just happened to check my service while it was working for 20 or so minutes. : P
    Although, I am sure the Tech knew what he was doing and seemed very knowledgeable and probably thought he had resolved an issue that has been plaguing me for over a year now I knew nothing had changed. (this has happened before by the way same exact procedure in fact, and must be part of the training).
    I’m trying to hold my volume down and not get too upset. Its not the techs fault and probably does not know I have gone through this procedure before. I want to try to explain this but he is busy trying to work his magic. I remain calm, but I even made the statement that I would probably be calling him back in 15-minutes. I try to end the conversation and phone call as politely as I can. Its not his fault, his just trying to do a job.
    Anthony
    Case Number: 053300005
    Well not even five minutes later you will never guess what………… Pings start dropping and the internet is cutting out on me.
    The Problem-
    The problem has been defined as a Line Issue, and an On and Off interrupt of service. At this point even the TV is being affected. From the first time I called (like over a year ago) the issue is defined to me as an On OFF issue.
    The Problem trying to get this fix-
    You apparently have no Line Techs.
    The Pole near my house is apparently a Forbidden Area that no one must go near. LOL
    You cannot get these people to go near it apparently. They only classify the problem and go away never to be seen nor heard from again.
    Now honestly I can understand with employee issues seeing this happening from time to time, but not for over a year and with service calls up in the tens and twenties…..
    Worst of All-
    I think the worst part of all of this is I have become so used to the poor and substandard quality of service. So used to it that I only call or complain when its totally out or is visually not working correctly and can be tested. I don’t call and complain because its not working as Advertised, because in fact it really never did or does.
    I also, don’t call a lot of the times because of dealing with the service department. If its working at that moment they cannot define the problems. Not really anyone’s fault as it looks like its working even if the pings are in the 200 range or currently no time outs are accruing. I mean at least its working, and they say Speed is not Guaranteed anyway.
    The Forgotten and Unanswered Questions-
    I don’t know about the rest of you but sometimes while talking to people I forget to ask questions or the question does not come to mind until the conversation is over with. In any case, the Phone Service Tech said that what he did should have been done along time ago.
    However, if my cable was somehow magically fixed by what he did I still have these questions;
    1.What happened to my Service Call and why did no one call my by 6:00PM today?
    -I waited around for the call actually, and I really would like to get this issue resolved.
    2. Why is my TV picture still bad?
    3. Although my internet seemed to be working today and only cut out once for a brief period of time why did the supposed fix of the Phone Tech double and even triple my pings, and still occasionally cuts out?
    This is usually when I can tell its going to start acting up as the interrupts become more frequent and growing in intensity and length. I always have them anyway I am used to it.
    However, on the other hand, I am already seeing time outs and interrupts and should I be paying full price for a lower quality of service compared just to my next door neighbor ?
    This is a very hard question for me to ask myself. I like using Cable rather than a Dialup Service, but there is also the whole principle to the matter as well.
    *Should I pay full price for a service that is substandard to everyone else’s?
    *Should I pay full price for the same connecting I used to get a discount for, because of the poor quality?
    *Should I call and complain everyday and turn this into a daily ritual? I cant keep taking time off from work to wait for someone who does nothing except stand around and futz with the computer for 20mintes and recognize the issue.
    *Should I have to complain so much and go through the process which is like pulling teeth to get you guys to do something about it?
    Maybe this is all my fault, and I am doing something wrong. What do I have to do to get this fixed? I don’t want to have to get DSL, so someone please help me. What am I doing wrong. I cannot keep taking time off from work to have someone come out only to recognize I have an issue and never fix it.
    To Whomever at Comcast:
    Is it so wrong of me to want, after a year of having repeated service calls with no resolution to the issue to ask, and request, that the cable service provided to me is the same as everyone else’s?
    If you handed noticed-
    Well if you haven’t noticed by now I am really tying to get this situation fixed and resolved. Mostly because, it is to the point where I am going to have to stop using Comcast and get DSL, or AOL or something because its more reliable. Which I really don’t want to do in the first place cable is supposed to be reliable and always on and faster.
    A little over a year not and I am running out of options though.
    Seriously Cant anyone help?

    Wed/Jan/18
    An eventful day-
    Just a few minutes ago, got a phone call from the Comcast Cable GUY (2:20pm). He then Says he’s been working on trying to find the problem from 1 O’clock. Apparently, and maybe the case, (it was a brief conversation and he will get back to me later) but maybe some part has gone bad somewhere and he said he was waiting on a phone call from someone else.
    In any case, he said that they are trying to clear up the problem and that its been running better sense the Jan/14.….? Not here it hasn’t. LOL We also had a brief discussion about how due to my repeated use of the internet that maybe I notices this more than other people do. My next door neighbor does not seem to have any issues last time I talk to them. But the guy said someone who lives on Broadway (few streets over) has been having issues too so maybe its this part.
    I said; So I should see some improvement today… silence…and a brief pause….. After I find out what the problem is Ill come over and discuss it with you so you know exactly what is going on.
    I do have a feeling I am going to be told this is going to take weeks to fix or at least awhile. Apparently a Part is needed maybe. Ill have to wait until the guy shows and gives me a full explanation though.
    I called my wife and told her of the event and she is pretty emphatic about returning the TV cable box as the TV picture is better without it and she only really looks at the local or 3-like 70 anyway. She was like “Bad Part?” well its been bad for over a year then! We should get a refund for the whole year then… Sorry Comcast she is on a Refund Kick… I just want it to work.
    Part/4-
    The Tech Supervisor Mark, showed up at my door and tried to explain the issues. I felt kind of bad cause I probably know he got Chewed on along with some other people probably. At least they sent someone older and who looked like he had more experience and knew what he was talking about and could actually find the issue.
    I tried to be as apologetic as I could, and tried to explain that its just because this has been such a persistent issue over the past year and a half, and I have had way too many service calls for this not to be fix by now. I even went so far as to explain; it’s a new year and we are trying to get this problem finally fixed. I was also quick to mention how nice it was outside and that at least it was a good day to run around outside. I would have felt really bad if it was raining or snowing out, but it was a nice day probably upper 60s and sunny.
    We briefly discussed the issues and he said he and some others (I guess) had been working t the Head End fixing some issues… Which actually might have fixed my TV picture, seems better right now currently though. Currently NO digital Blocking on any channels currently, but as I said, it’s a sporadic issue popping up one day and going away the next or the problem lasting weeks and months then nothing for a few days and weeks.
    Mark, tried to explain that maybe the problem that I might been having (apparently along with a few others) was that a Temporary Line was connected on the MAIN. Basically 1” Main Line Cable run it to cable like that’s in your house (cant remember but off hand I think its 5, 10 or 15 gauge cable) and back to 1” Main Line Cable. It was all a little technical, I just nodded and said yes, and at least you might have found the issue right?
    He didn’t know how long that had been like that, and I said; probably for over three years as the previous owner had issues too, or at least sense I had bought this house about a year and a half.
    I went so far as to showed him some print screens of some of the issues I have been having, and I know he noticed all the yellow recites in my computer room. : P Unfortunately, I deleted all my old Print Screen saves when the guy last Monday (ninth) showed up and said he would fix the line, or at least track it down. I only had one from the previous night to show him or something.
    In any case, while discussing this Mark, said the guy that came out the other Monday never filled out a work order or something like that. I basically tried to explain that is the kind of thing I have been dealing with for little over a year. Tech after Tech after Tech; as I looked at all the yellow recites on top of my computer desk.
    Mark also, basically said, I should have pretty fast cable considering I only have two nodes and then basically it runs back to Comcast, or something like that. However, that Temporary Line is probably causing the issues. No definite date on a fix, but maybe 24-hours or a few days, but the matter had been expedited or something like that. *Cross fingers*
    That’s the real issue with this cable, its sporadic, and comes and goes. I’m pretty sure they are going to try to replace that line, but you know what….. I have heard that before actually. I have actually heard that for over a year now. Even the expedited part. : P
    Mark tried to thank me for pointing out this issue, and made some comment about how its actually helping them….but………. I can kind of tell he had been getting yelled at or something by someone. It was not obvious, but I could tell.
    I felt kind of bad about that, but… That happens when you work for someone, and the people who work for you (below you) don’t do what they are supposed too.
    I kind of tried to briefly explain to Mark about the issue again and that usually by the time a Supervisor gets out the issue has cleared up for a time….. Odd how that works by the way. But basically I got the old…well it looks like its working ok now and you should have seen some improvements over the last few days… thingy..
    We started talking about that Temporary Line being connected again and I walked Mark to the door and we said our goodbyes and I apologized again for being such a pain in the about this whole matter.
    Part/5-
    I called the wife and told here about everything. The first thing she asked is; is it fixed? She is still not happy especially when I tired to explain what the issue was and probably was and that at least maybe they found it.
    I have no idea of what kind of onward action maybe on my part in the end if things don’t get better. Its like trying to argue with the old Bell Telephone Company when that was the only phone company in the US and no other phone companies existed.
    I hope to one day, be a satisfied Comcast Customer, but to date I have yet to feel that way, at least with the Internet in any case and that’s only because I really don’t watch TV.
    I am also, hoping when, and if, some LINE is replaced somewhere that I see some drastic improvement along with apparently a lot of other people in my community and a lot less issues also. I still don’t believe that I should be just setting for; Ok well at least its ON now, or the light has finally stopped flashing.
    All a SNAFU?
    That’s highly questionable at this point, and I have to be honest with you. This is going on a year and a half of dealing with this. This SNAFU, could be the case, but it seems more like policy, or a standing Comcast Company Directive actually if you want my honest opinion. I don’t know what the Maintenance Budget is for my area, but you might want to consider doubling it, or tripling it.
    I really don’t care actually when this is fixed, as long as the issue is fixed. I cannot make a final judgment until it is finally fixed and go on and try to take further action onward from that point.
    Thus far I have only been given an explanation. I don’t know if anyone at Comcast realize exactly how many times I have had an explanation given too me though (either on the phone with a service tech or from an actual person “tech” at my house). The list is extensive of the actual explanations I have had over the past year and a half, but my favorite one is; squirrels.
    Part/6-
    We are still waiting on phone calls from people who said they would call us back today and check what’s going on. Both of us, (me and the wife) are slowly losing momentum again as this whole issue gets dragged out for weeks and weeks at a time.
    She is tired and I’m tired too, and Comcast is warring us down again it looks like. My wife was like; “do I have to call them, I really didn’t have a good day anyway and I’m tired. They were supposed to call us anyway, lets wait.”
    I tried to make a phone call (half heartedly, I myself as I’m tired too) as Carla (at my local Comcast office) wanted to know how the service call went, but after repeated attempts and being shuffled off to Billing, and then being put on hold : P ……and its actually getting close to dinner time. Maybe after dinner if I don’t just fall asleep first.
    So, in the end its still hang on for a few more days, and or, wait to have the problem fixed. Your guess is as good as mine, people. More Smoke and Mirrors or an actual Fix. Your guess is as good as mine.
    As for me, I’m going to bed, I’m worn out. Maybe a new line to replace that temporary one, maybe just saying I might get a new line to replace that temporary one.
    The Saga continues. Maybe it will end someday.
