Margie is, even as I write, on the phone once again with the dimbulbs from Qwest, expressing her dismay with their dismal activities during our recent attempts to get DSL installed. One of these days soon I’ll chronicle it here.<\/p>\n
She rocks.<\/p>\n
And this while she does not feel well.<\/p>\n
I don’t tell her often enough how much I appreciate her.<\/p>\n
Update: Margie got them to give us free service on both our phone lines for two months. And got a chance to vent. Bleah.<\/p>\n
We have an order in for later this month with Sprint Broadband. Stay tuned.<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
