Update on the move

  I just looked at ShowMeBlog and I see the last post that I made was when the guy came to the door to move our stuff.
  Russell did help me and the guy move stuff out of the place.  It two two trips with his pick up truck.  I gave him an extra $20.00 for the second trip.  He was very nice.  He attempted to keep me from having to left the heavy stuff.  With Russell's help I did not die. I had made a video in case I died moving the stuff.  But you do not get to see the video now.  Smile
  When we got to the new place on the first trip Ken was there and he helped move stuff into the place.  On the second trip Ken had gone to work.
  So we are moved. 
  I am living in the dinning/living room area and Russell is going to get the second bed room.  That was my idea.  I am good with it.  I got a lot more room and some great views.  I just do not have Internet service.  If I had Internet service all would be great.
  I got some photos and videos but they will have to wait until Comcast gets off their ass and gets me Internet service.
  I am thinking about cancelling the "service" and getting ATT and get DSL.  Ken asked about Internet via Direct TV.  Many of you will remember how bad that was in Hillsboro TX.
  Well I got 27 minutes left to use this computer here.  Then I got about an hour plus ride home via rail and bus.

  If there is any VIP with Comcast reading this.. HELP HELP HELP

Hello from Miami-Dade Main Library

  I am posting this from down town Miami FL at the main library. They have a lot of computers here but I still had to sign up and wait for 30 minutes to get a computer.  I have the use of this one for 60 minutes.  If you have a lap top you can just bring it and use their wifi here.
  I told Russ I would buy his lap top for $500.00 but I am not sure I am going to have the money.
  To get to this libary I had to take the number 72 bus, they run each 60 minutes, and I took it to the Metro Rail station and then took the train down town.

  I am still waiting for Comcast to get my Internet connection working. 
  They came on Friday and got the TV working but worked trying to get the Internet working for 7 hours.  It turns out there is a  bad cable in the yard.  So they said someone would  be out "for sure" on Saturday.  No one came.  On Monday a regular employee came out and tested the line and said it wa bad and would need to be replaced.  He said someone would be out Tuesday to fix it.  Well  no one came on Tuesday.  I called them and they said the guy on Monday had listed the job as complete and done.  They had nothing set up for repair of the line. 
  So they said they would have someone call me and if I answer the phone they will come out ..sometime..first they have to call me.. It seems they have 72 hours to call me..and up to 10 days to fix the problem.
  I did get the bill from Comcast.  They got the bill to me.  But I do not have Internet access.
  I am posting this now.. I have not checked my email yet.  It has been about a week since I could check my email.

  When will Comcast fix my problem and get me Internet?  Your guess is as good as mine.

Moving stuff soon

  The guy from down stairs just came to the door.. we will be moving the stuff in 30 minutes.

thank God

Moving problems

  I guess I got time for a longer post.  I am at the old place waiting for the guy down stairs to help me move my computer desk, my chair, my bed and two big boxes of stuff.  Then there is a coffee table and a couple of other items.  Then there are four boxes of Russell's stuff.  There are a few other items.

   Ken paid the guy $60.00 to move the stuff in his pick up truck.  He was going to move it Friday but I was waiting for the cable guy from 0800 to 1100 and then with the cable guy from 1200 to 1900 hours. 
   So then he was going to move it yesterday afternoon and I was here..but he asked if he could move it today in the AM (Sunday).  I am here waiting and it is almost 1100 hours. 
   It sure would have been nice to move it before it got hot.. early today would have been great.
   
   I think Russell is willing to help.. surprise surprise..but he had to go to work.. a girl is having a birthday today. 
   
  I been sleeping at the new place on the title floor.  I hope I can get my mattress moved over today.

Problems with Comcast

  I am at our old place and using Russell's laptop to post this entry.  Well the Comcast install guy came to the new place.  He did not speak one word of English..  I take it back.. He could say "TV" and "Computer" and I pointed to the room were I wanted TV and the room were I wanted the cable modem service.
  Well 7 hours later I had TV service but he could not get the Internet to work.. I will not go into all the attempts.. at last some droped off a long long ass black cable.  He ran that from their box at the street across yards and through the house.. and he got the IP number or server name or whatever that he needed ... which he could not do before...  so his supervisor called me and told me there was a broken wire or line in the yard..and they would come out tomorrow (Saturday) and fix it for sure.

  No one came out to fix it.  I called and they said someone would be out Monday between 0800 and 1100.  Today is Sunday.

  We also had problems with the move.. family upset with me.. family thinks all the stuff that needs to be moved in mine and that I should move it and they should not have to move my stuff.. long story..
   Has not been fun..
   Well I better get off Russell's lap top.
   OH I just told him I would buy it from him and he said he would sell it.  The price will be $500.00 and I don't have the money right now.. but when I get the money then I get the laptop.  If Comcast can't get me Internet service I will see about getting a wireless card for this Acer laptop and pay the 70.00 a month for wireless Internet.
   I got to keep posting to the blog ..even if you don't want me too.   Smile
