I looked at my email 1st thing this morning to find a notice from AT&T of my latest bill, which is well over double what I've been paying for TV and internet. I called them to cancel the entire package. I can do without TV if I have to, but internet is another thing entirely, and the AT&T internet I have is the best service I've ever encountered.
I used about an hour of my phone minutes trying to reach a satisfactory deal with the representative, and then decided to just cancel. The rep brought in a "retention specialist". They didn't give much, but I ended up with my internet as well as the "family package" of TV service. I think the few channels I watch are included, especially since I never watch movies anyway. So I'm good to go for at least another year when I'm sure I'll receive the shocking news that my bill will skyrocket again.
I think I will lose access to NASA TV with my new reduced package. I've really been fascinated with the fly-by Pluto. I don't remember being as interested in the Moon landing, or seeing the details about Mars, but somehow Pluto interests me much more.
The hot weather has made a zombie out of me, although the past couple of days have been very nice. I'm looking at a forecast of 107 the middle of next week, and I melt at that temperature!
- The Last Straw!
More about my ATT service: I again called this morning to have my land line svc removed, but first I wanted to know what the difference would be in my bill. The reps talk in circles and never give you a straight answer, so I kept at this guy...
- Aromatic Trash!
I will set the trash out tonight, and mine will be the most aromatic on the block! I looked at the many spices and flavorings I have accummulated since I've been in this house, and started emptying the bottles of those I know are old or that...

I started deleting cookies from my computer last night and finished with it this morning. I'm sure I got rid of hundreds of them. I'll probably find out sooner or later that I deleted something I should have kept, and it really aggravates...
- Minimalist Living
I guess that is what it would seem to most people. I no longer have tv service, and something went wrong with the dishwasher a week or so ago, so I'm washing dishes by hand. I still miss the tv, but I must say I'm enjoying washing dishes...
- Getting Unhooked
From TV, that is. I called DirecTV 3 days ago because of a billing problem, and was so irritated I told them I wanted my service cancelled. The woman who took my call was really smooth and convinced me to stay with DirecTV at a reduced price...
