Why I am ready to leave AT&T

AT&T will not have my service for much longer. They are a bunch of money hungry you know whats!!

I have been a customer for many years. I recived my last bill and the prices are ridiculous. Start with my main phone. I was paying $31.00/month for the Complete Choice package that includes unlimited local and most features that they offer. I was also paying $23.99/month for unlimited long distance. That should come out to be $54.99 but my bill is $71.25. The rest ($16.26) is in taxes and fees. I don't use the long distance that much since I have a cell phone and many of the features I don't use either.

Time to change. I go online to make the changes. I choose the Preferred Pack Plan which includes unlimited local and 5 features (the ones that I uses) for $28.00/month. I choose the One Rate Basic Plan for long distance which is $0.12/minute with no monthly fee. Basically I should be saving $26.99 before taxes and fees.

Now here is my problem... I am charged $1.00 for making the changes, no big deal. When I print my confirmation, I notice one feature was not taken off my account and it cost $7.00/month. I cannot remove it online, so I have to call them. After calling them, and getting through the push 1 for this, etc. including telling it 3 different times I wanted English, I am told that it is not on my account. They recheck and tell me that it is and they will remove it. Then I bring up the $1.00 charge. I ask what it is for. I am told, since I am not a Complete Choice customer, I am charged for any changes to my account and that the fee really is a little over $5.00.

I don't understand how they can justify the fee for changing my service when there is nothing that they have to do... everything was done online without any human interaction. The fees, they are a joke too.

On the local service:
$4.68 in local, state, and federal taxes and fees (I am fine with these)
$6.50 FCC Authorized Charge for Network Access
$0.73 Fed Univ Svc Chrg

On my long distance service:
$1.79 NC - State/Local Tax (I am fine with this)
$0.99 Carrier Cost Recovery Fee (Isn't this part of my regular fee?)
$1.59 Federal Universal Service Fund Fee (What me paying it on my local service isn't enough?)

OK, that is on my main line... did I mention that I have 2 lines?

My second line is my "data" line that I use for faxing and my DSL. It is a basic line with unlimited local service only ($18.75) and 3MB DSL ($37.95).

So lets look at taxes and fees again.
$3.47 in local, state, and federal taxes and fees (again, I am fine with these)
$6.50 FCC Authorized Charge for Network Access
$0.71 Fed Univ Svc Chrg

To sum it up. I pay $26.96 per month in taxes and fees on my two lines.

I didn't even mention that even after paying all of these fees to upgrade their system and to keep it up to date, I still cannot get 6MB DSL. I have been told for over 2 years this is because their computer will not let them turn it on for me, even though the technicians have checked my line and I do have the ability and bandwidth, it is just a matter of allowing 6MB service to my account.

We Remember

The proud warriors of Baker Company wanted to do something to pay tribute To our fallen comrades. So since we are part of the only Marine Infantry Battalion left in Iraq the one way that we could think of doing that is By taking a picture of Baker Company saying the way we feel. It would be awesome if you could find a way to share this with our fellow countrymen. I was wondering if there was any way to get this into your papers to let the world know that "WE HAVE NOT FORGOTTEN" and are proud to serve our country.

Semper Fi
1stSgt Dave Jobe

The attached photo was forwarded from one of the last U.S. Marine companies in Iraq. They would like to have it passed to as many people as possible, to let the folks back home know that they remember why they're there and that they remember those who've been lost.

Our Bank Account

A 92-year-old, petite, well-poised and proud man, who is fully dressed each morning by eight o'clock, with his hair fashionably combed and shaved perfectly, even though he is legally blind, moved to a nursing home today.  His wife of 70 years recently passed away, making the move necessary.

After many hours of waiting patiently in the lobby of the nursing home, he smiled sweetly when told his room was ready.  As he maneuvered his walker to the elevator, I provided a visual description of his tiny room, including the eyelet sheets that had been hung on his window.

"I love it," he stated with the enthusiasm of an eight-year-old having just been presented with a new puppy.

"Mr. Jones, you haven't seen the room; just wait."

"That doesn't have anything to do with it," he replied.

"Happiness is something you decide on ahead of time.  Whether I like my room or not doesn't depend on how the furniture is arranged ...  it's how I arrange my mind. I already decided to love it. "It's a decision I make every morning when I wake up. I have a choice; I can spend the day in bed recounting the difficulty I have with the parts of my body that no longer work, or get out of bed and be thankful for the ones that do.  Each day is a gift, and as long as my eyes open, I'll focus on the new day and all the happy memories I've stored away. Just for this time in my life.

Old age is like a bank account. You withdraw from what you've put in.

So, my advice to you would be to deposit a lot of happiness in the bank account of memories!

Thank you for your part in filling my Memory bank.

I am still depositing. Remember the five simple rules to be happy:
1. Free your heart from hatred.
2. Free your mind from worries.
3. Live simply.
4. Give more.
5. Expect less.

Paul Harvey and Prayer

Paul Harvey says:

I don't believe in Santa Claus, but I'm not going to sue somebody for singing a Ho-Ho-Ho song in December.  I don't agree with Darwin, but I didn't go out and hire a lawyer when my high school teacher taught his theory of evolution. Life, liberty or your pursuit of happiness will not be endangered because someone says a 30-second prayer before a football game.

So what's the big deal? It's not like somebody is up there reading the entire book of Acts. They're just talking to a God they believe in and asking him to grant safety to the Players on the field and the fans going home from the game. But it's a Christian prayer, some will argue. Yes, and this is the United States of America, a country founded on Christian principles. According to our very own phone book, Christian churches outnumber all others better than 200 to 1.

If I went to a football game in Jerusalem, I would expect to hear a Jewish prayer.  If I went to a soccer game in Baghdad, I would expect to hear a Muslim prayer.  If I went to a ping pong match in China, I would expect to hear someone pray to Buddha.  And I wouldn't be offended. It wouldn't bother me one bit. When in Rome...

But what about the atheists is another argument.

What about them? Nobody is asking them to be baptized. We're not going to pass the collection plate. Just humor us for 30 seconds. If that's asking too much, bring a Walkman or a pair of ear plugs. Go to the bathroom. Visit the concession stand. Call your lawyer!  Unfortunately, one or two will make that call. One or two will tell thousands what they can and cannot do. I don't think a short prayer at a football game is going to shake the world's foundations.

Christians are just sick and tired of turning the other cheek while our courts strip us of all our rights.  Our parents and grandparents taught us to pray before eating; to pray before we go to sleep. Our Bible tells us to pray without ceasing. Now a handful of people and their lawyers are telling us to cease praying. God, help us. And if that last sentence offends you, well . Just sue me.

The silent majority has been silent too long. It's time we let that one or two who scream loud enough to be heard that the vast majority don't care what they want. It is time the majority rules!

It's time we tell them, you don't have to pray; you don't have to say the pledge of allegiance; you don't have to believe in God or attend services that honor Him. That is your right, and we will honor your right. But by golly, you are no longer going to take our rights away.

We are fighting back . And we WILL WIN! God bless us one and all, especially those who denounce Him. God bless America, despite all her faults. She is still the greatest nation of all.  God bless our service men that are fighting to protect our right to pray and worship God.

Hopefully 2007 will be the year the silent majority is heard and we put God back as the foundation of our families and institutions. Keep looking up.

It Was Only a Quarter

Several years ago, a preacher from out-of-state accepted a call to a church in Houston , Texas . Some weeks after he arrived, he had an occasion to ride the bus from his home to the downtown area. When he sat down, he discovered that the driver had accidentally given him a quarter too much change.

As he considered what to do, he thought to himself, "You'd better give the quarter back. It would be wrong to keep it." Then he thought, "Oh, forget it, it's only a quarter. Who would worry about this little amount? Anyway, the bus company gets too much fare; they will never miss it. Accept it as a 'gift from God' and keep quiet."

When his stop came, he paused momentarily at the door, then he handed the quarter to the driver and said, "Here, you gave me too much change."

The driver, with a smile, replied, "Aren't you the new preacher in town? I have been thinking a lot lately about going somewhere to worship. I just wanted to see what you would do if I gave you too much change. I'll see you at church on Sunday."

When the preacher stepped off of the bus, he literally grabbed the nearest light pole, held on, and said, "Oh God, I almost sold your Son for a quarter."

Our lives are the only Bible some people will ever read. This is a really scary example of how much people watch us as Christians and will put us to the test!

Always be on guard and remember that you carry the name of Christ on your shoulders when you call yourself "Christian."  Watch your thoughts; they become words. Watch your words; they become actions. Watch your actions; they become habits. Watch your habits; they become character. Watch your character; it becomes your destiny.

The Beauty of Math!

1 x 8 + 1 = 9
12 x 8 + 2 = 98

1234 x 8 + 4 = 9876
12345 x 8 + 5 = 98765
123456 x 8 + 6 = 987654
1234567 x 8 + 7 = 9876543
12345678 x 8 + 8 = 98765432

111111111 x 111111111=12345678987654321

Now, take a look at this...
101%

From a strictly mathematical viewpoint:

What Equals 100%? What does it mean to give MORE than 100%?

Ever wonder about those people who say they are giving more than 100%?

We have all been in situations where someone wants you to GIVE OVER

100%.

How about ACHIEVING 101%?

What equals 100% in life?

Here's a little mathematical formula that might help answer these questions:

If:

A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z

Is represented as:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26.

If:

H-A-R-D-W-O-R- K
8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11 = 98%

And:

K-N-O-W-L-E-D-G-E
11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5 = 96%

But:

A-T-T-I-T-U-D-E
1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5 = 100%

THEN, look how far the love of God will take you:

L-O-V-E-O-F-G-O-D
12+15+22+5+15+6+7+15+4 = 101%

Therefore, one can conclude with mathematical certainty that:

While Hard Work and Knowledge will get you close, and Attitude will get you there, It's the Love of God that will put you over the top!

When it is ok to use profanity.

Military Prayer

"Lord, hold our troops in your loving hands. Protect them as they protect us. Bless them and their families for the selfless acts they perform for us in our time of need. Amen."
Prayer Request: When you receive this, please stop for a moment and say a prayer for our troops around the world.
There is nothing attached. Just send this to people in your address book. Do not let it stop with you. Of all the gifts you could give a Marine, Soldier, Sailor, Airman, & others deployed in harm's way, prayer is the very best one. 

A Dog Knows

Have you ever heard that a dog "knows" when an earthquake is about to hit?

Have you ever heard that a dog can "sense" when a tornado is stirring up, even twenty miles away?

Do you remember hearing that, before the December tsunami struck Southeast Asia, dogs started running frantically away from the seashore, at breakneck speed?

Do you know that dogs can detect cancer and other serious illnesses and danger of fire?

Somehow they always know when they can 'go for a ride' before you even ask and how do those dogs and cats get home from hundreds of miles away?

I'm a firm believer that animals - and especially dogs - have keen insights into the Truth.

And you can't tell me that dogs can't sense a potentially terrible disaster well in advance.

Simply said, a good ol' hound dog just KNOWS when something isn't right . . when impending doom is upon us . . .

Blonde Joke

I urgently needed a few days off work, but I knew the Boss would not allow me to take a leave. I thought that maybe if I acted "CRAZY" then he would tell me to take a few days off. So I hung upside down on the ceiling and made funny noises. My co-worker (who's blonde) asked me what I was doing? I told her that I was pretending to be a light bulb so that the Boss would think I was "CRAZY" and give me a few days off. A few minutes later the Boss came into the office and asked "What are you doing ?" I told him I was a light bulb. He said "You are clearly stressed out. Go home and recuperate for a couple of days". I jumped down and walked out of the office. When my co-worker (the blonde) followed me, the Boss asked her " ...And where do you think you're going?"

She said, "I'm going home too, I can't work in the dark!"

Tech Support - Problem with Upgrade

Dear Tech Support:

Last year I upgraded from Girlfriend 7.0 to Wife 1.0 . I soon noticed that the new program began unexpected child processing that took up a lot of space and valuable resources. In addition, Wife 1.0 installed itself into all other programs and now monitors all other system activity. Applications such as Poker Night 10.3 , Football 5.0 , Hunting and Fishing 7.5 , and Racing 3.6 no longer run , crashing the system whenever selected.

I can't seem to keep Wife 1.0 in the background while attempting to run my favorite applications. I'm thinking about going back to Girlfriend 7.0 , but the uninstall doesn't work on Wife 1.0 . Please help!

Thanks,
A Troubled User.

-----REPLY-----

Dear Troubled User:

This is a very common problem that men complain about.  Many people upgrade from Girlfriend 7.0 to Wife 1.0 , thinking that it is just a Utilities and Entertainment program. Wife 1.0 is an OPERATING SYSTEM and is designed by its Creator to run EVERYTHING !!! It is also impossible to delete Wife 1.0 and to return to Girlfriend 7.0 . It is impossible to uninstall, or purge the program files from the system once installed.

You cannot go back to Girlfriend 7.0 because Wife 1.0 is designed to not allow this. Look in your Wife 1.0 manual under Warnings-Alimony - Child Support. I recommend that you keep Wife1.0 and work on improving the situation. I suggest installing the background application 'Yes Dear' to alleviate software augmentation.

The best course of action is to enter the command C:\ APOLOGIZE because ultimately you will have to give the APOLOGIZE command before the system will return to normal anyway.

Wife 1.0 is a great program, but it tends to be very high maintenance . Wife 1.0 comes with several support programs, such as Clean and Sweep 3.0 , Cook It 1.5 and Do Bills 4.2.

However, be very careful how you use these programs. Improper use will cause the system to launch the program Nag 9.5 . Once this happens, the only way to improve the performance of Wife 1.0 is to purchase additional software. I recommend Flowers 2.1 and Diamonds 5.0 !

WARNING!!! DO NOT , under any circumstances, install Secretary With Short Skirt 3.3 . This application is not supported by Wife 1.0 and will cause irreversible damage to the operating system.

Best of luck,
Tech Support

Thinking about flying an F-14?

Below is an article written by Rick Reilly of Sports Illustrated. He details his experiences when given the opportunity to fly in a F-14 Tomcat. If you aren't laughing out loud by the time you get to "Milk Duds," your sense of humor is seriously broken.

Someday you may be invited to fly in the back-seat of one of your country's most powerful fighter jets. Many of you already have . John Elway, John Stockton, Tiger Woods to name a few If you get this opportunity, let me urge you, with the greatest sincerity... Move to Guam . Change your name. Fake your own death! Whatever you do . . Do Not Go ! ! !The U.S. Navy invited me to try it. I was thrilled. I was pumped. I was toast! I should've known when they told me my pilot would be Chip (Biff) King of Fighter Squadron 213 at Naval Air Station Oceana in Virginia Beach .

Whatever you're thinking a Top Gun named Chip (Biff) King looks like, triple it. He's about six-foot, tan, ice-blue eyes, wavy surfer hair, finger-crippling handshake -- the kind of man who wrestles dyspeptic alligators in his leisure time. If you see this man, run the other way. Fast.

Biff King was born to fly. His father, Jack King, was for years the voice of NASA missions. ("T-minus 15 seconds and counting ..." Remember?) Chip would charge neighborhood kids a quarter each to hear his dad. Jack would wake up from naps surrounded by nine-year-olds waiting for him to say, "We have a liftoff"

Biff was to fly me in an F-14D Tomcat, a ridiculously powerful $60 million weapon with nearly as much thrust as weight. Not unlike Colin Montgomerie, I was worried about getting airsick, so the night before the flight I asked Biff if there was something I should eat the next morning.

"Bananas," he said.

"For the potassium?" I asked.

"No," Biff said, "because they taste about the same coming up as they do going down."

The next morning, out on the tarmac, I had on my flight suit with my name sewn over the left breast. (No call sign -like Crash or Sticky or Leadfoot . But, still, very cool.) I carried my helmet in the crook of my arm, as Biff had instructed. If ever in my life I had a chance to nail Nicole Kidman, this was it.

A fighter pilot named Psycho gave me a safety briefing and then fastened me into my ejection seat, which, when employed, would "egress" me out of the plane at such a velocity that I would be immediately knocked unconscious

Just as I was thinking about aborting the flight, the canopy closed over me, and Biff gave the ground crew a thumbs-up. In minutes we were firing nose up at 600 mph. We leveled out and then canopy-rolled over another F-14.

Those 20 minutes were the rush of my life. Unfortunately, the ride lasted 80. It was like being on the roller coaster at Six Flags Over Hell. Only without rails. We did barrel rolls, snap rolls, loops, yanks and banks. We dived, rose and dived again, sometimes with a vertical velocity of 10,000 feet per minute. We chased another F-14, and it chased us.We broke the speed of sound. Sea was sky and sky was sea. Flying at 200 feet we did 90-degree turns at 550 mph, creating a G force of 6.5, which is to say I felt as if 6.5 times my body weight was smashing against me, thereby approximating life as Mrs. Colin Montgomerie.And I egressed the bananas.

And I egressed the pizza from the night before. And the lunch before that. I egressed a box of Milk Duds from the sixth grade. I made Linda Blair look polite. Because of the G's, I was egressing stuff that never thought would be egressed. I went through not one airsick bag, but two.

Biff said I passed out. Twice. I was coated in sweat. At one point, as we were coming in upside down in a banked curve on a mock bombing target and the G's were flattening me like a tortilla and I was in and out of consciousness, I realized I was the first person in history to throw down.

I used to know 'cool'. Cool was Elway throwing a touchdown pass, or Norman making a five-iron bite. But now I really know 'cool'. Cool is guys like Biff, men with cast-iron stomachs and freon nerves. I wouldn't go up there again for Derek Jeter's black book, but I'm glad Biff does every day, and for less a year than a rookie reliever makes in a home stand.

A week later, when the spins finally stopped, Biff called. He said he and the fighters had the perfect call sign for me. Said he'd send it on a patch for my flight suit.

"What is it ?" I asked.

"Two Bags."

I entered your name in for a cruise.

I hope that you do not mind but, I entered your name in a drawing for a 7-day cruise. I assure you that no sales people will call or bother you in anyway. This is completely on the up and up.

I've taken the liberty of putting your name into the drawing for a seven-day, six-night cruise on the fabulous new Gypsy Queen Cruise Line ship , the 'Dixie Belle'.

All airfares, transfers, food and drinks included with dinner at the captain's table as his personal guest. Good luck, I hope you win!

The Flagship 'Dixie Belle' is shown below...

Your first night's meal promises to be scrumptious, featuring fillet of Catfish, Hush Puppies and Collards, with all you can eat Boiled Louisiana Rusty Crawfish! Boy, I wish I was goin' with ya'll. If'n ya'll win, make sure to send pictures, especially of the Famous, 'Ole' Muddy Midnight Skinny Dip, with your hostesses Eulla Bell and Krissie.

Since ya'll may have the presidential suite, yu'in's will have a balcony view and the finest facilities.

Nothing... is too good for my family and friends...!

Great Prank

Hurricane Katrina

It was 2 years ago today that Hurricane Katrina came ashore and forever changed the Mississippi and Louisiana Gulf Coast. Everyone I know from Mississippi lost someone or something from the storm. Most everyone in the US has been effected by this storm. Please say a prayer for everyone that was affected by the storm.

Now for my rant. Last night, the CBS Nightly News started a story called Katrina + 2. This story ticked me off. There was no mention of Mississippi, only New Orleans. Yes New Orleans suffered a major loss, but it was not the only place. New Orleans loss was devastating to the local economy. My problem with it all... the majority of New Orleans that was damaged was in low income areas that homes were never supposed to be built. This land was supposed to be wasteland due to the area being so far below sea level, but it was built on because it was cheap. Now most people in that area cannot get private insurance on their homes, so the federal government is going to assist in getting flood insurance. The story also pointed out that there are several homes that still need to be torn down because they are unsafe. I did not see 1 person that was attempting to do this themselves... basically it was short of telling the government that they need to come and do it for them.

The Mississippi Gulf Coast is different. The majority of homes that were damaged were in areas that no one imagined could ever be destroyed by storm surge. Many homes have been there for hundreds of years without ever being destroyed by a hurricane. Yet you do not see anything about this on the news. Why???

The majority of New Orleans is lazy. They have always had everything handed to them by the government. The majority of them blame everything on the government and they want the government to pay for everything. They want new homes built by the government. Now look at Mississippi. The majority of residents there have gotten off their asses and started doing the work themselves. They have cleaned up their yards, they have torn down unsafe structures, and they have started rebuilding. They are not sitting in line with their hand out waiting on their check. They have gone back to work. They have spent their savings to rebuild. They are trying to overcome the disaster and to make their homes safe again.

I have gone to the Gulf Coast a couple of times since Katrina. I remember standing at the Palace Casino in Biloxi and thinking... This doesn't look that bad. Then I thought about it. There used to be homes and business all through here. That used to be the Biloxi Schooner restaurant. Now it is an area that looks like it has been cleared by a bull dozer. There are a few trees, a couple of trailers and some bare concrete pads.

Please get the word out. The media still thinks that New Orleans was the only place damaged. Let people remember that this damaged the entire Gulf Coast, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana. NEW ORLEANS WAS NOT THE ONLY PLACE!!

Trying to register for a college class.

Today I tried to register for college classes. Of course, I have to park in the lower 40. Next it tried to register for classes and their computer is down. I don't understand why you would let you computer system go down on the first day of school. There is around 30 people waiting and they keep piling in.

Sitting here, I cannot believe some people. One group is sitting here bragging on what their father makes. To me 13 an hour is not that great and that is the highest. Another girl sitting here is wearing blue jeans, which would be fine except for the rip in the crotch that shows all. Next the wanna be thug comes in and acts like everyone in the room is his homie... but his shorts got from his knees to his ankles. Every time I see something like that, I have to resist the urge to give them a wedgie.

I do have to say that there are a bunch of spoiled bitches here. Some have only gone to their first class, if any, and they are already complaining about home work. I want to say to them, what they hell did you expect? It's college... at least it is only community college.

Now the 13 an hour daughter is over here talking about her sister being at UNC and putting everything on a credit card. She says that her sister plans on putting everything on multiple credit cards, paying off one, and letting the others go and not paying them.

Update: I did not get registered for the class. The class I wanted to take was a CPT coding class. The computer system never came up in the 1.5 hours I waited. Finally they decided to fill add/drop cards and put them in the order they recieved them. They wanted a contact number and would call you if you if the class you wanted was full. My problem, the class I wanted to take had a prerequisite. I told them to put me in that class, but there was a prerequisite for it. Basically to take 1 class, I would have to 2 classes over a course of a year so that I can take the one class I wanted to take. No thanks.

Thanks for letting me waste almost 2 hours of my life for nothing.

Google Data Center in Caldwell County, NC

Google announced earlier that it was going to build a data center in Caldwell County. People got so excited because it is Google. The state gave Google huge incentives and tax breaks to bring the plant here. Now people have found out what it really is and they don't want it. I do not know what they expected to come. Google said it would only produce about 210 jobs.

Now everyone has realized what the facility really is "just an air-conditioned warehouse to hold computers." I don't know what else was expected from a data center. Apparently lawmakers assumed that there would be spin-off industries as happened when DELL came to NC with a shipping facility that brought several companies to the area such as shipping companies.
