Month: October 2008

√ Day 1 complete. And I haven’t even started to stand by an offramp with a sign yet. Although… √ Me vs. Comcast: Me 1, Comcast 0. Got a bit frustrated, and realize it’s not the CSR’s fault, but needed to be firm. Not mean, just firm. Would blog more, but those details will have…

Some of the more regular readers (not to mean that the rest of you are irregular, because that’s a completely different subject, and I’m not a doctor) have been wondering about the changes I’ve alluded to. Well, to them I say…keep wondering. Just kidding. With the economic situation being what it’s been, and my IRA…

Yesterday I wrote about Thomas Nelson Publishers. One of the people I’ve had contact with there is Lindsey. And Lindsey is involved with the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention…and is in the midst of a fundraiser that ends tomorrow. Go here for more info and support her!

If you’ve been reading my blog in the past couple months, you’ve likely noticed references to Thomas Nelson Publishers. If not, perhaps your speed reading isn’t nearly as effective as it could be.

Let’s talk politics for a bit, shall we? No, this won’t be a list as to why I am voting for a particular candidate, or even a litany of charges against the other. Nope, much more practical. Both of the main candidates have “economic plans” that would benefit me. I should be happy, right? Yes…

See previous posts. The response:Mr. David, The scanned documents are attached. Please do let me know when you have successfully received so that I may send the remainder of the info. For security, I do not want that information sent with the documents; having both the information and the documents together would be quite dangerous…

A week and a half ago, I told of the first action taken in this time of supposed economic doom and gloom: I cashed out my IRA. Crazy enough, right? [This actually had logic to it: it was losing value, so rather than let it lose that value to the market, I chose to have…
