My, oh my, what a wonderful day
Plenty of sunshine headin' my way
Zip-a-dee-doo-dah, zip-a-dee-ay.
Well, not really. 4am. Hearda loud popping noise outside, said to self, "Self, it's 4am July 6, are those little bastas still at it?" Kids, guilty until proven innocent ain't they?
Lights had flickered. Whereinthehell did I put that candle? The $7 really cool LED light I bought at Wally that had 9 settings (flash, flash fast, flash fast red, flash slow white, etc.), I was so excited about it, so.. wanted to show my grandkids, thus, it's in the car. If only I had a light so I could go find my light.
Annuder flash boom siskai'yay... dark. Damnit. Then they came back on. Yay! I've been lucky. I haven't been able to bitch and moan like so many on the Facebook page "Liberty Area - Together We're Strong", darn, thought I had a chance.
Ruh roh Roku. No Direct TV. Long story. Had Spectrum, stopped em. Restarted, sales rep promised me all the channels I wanted, specifically sports channels to watch the Royals, MU, etc...AND a free new phone AND service for that phone, and a partridge in a pear tree= $115 a month.
Sign me up Maynard. Did. Bill came, $20 higher than promised. Called. Xplained Lucy "listen to the sales dudes conversation wit' me. "I'll have my boss check it out."
Four or five more conversations, begging, (OK, screaming REPRESENTATIVE at the recording, hey, made ME feel better.) "Please listen to the recording of that lady promising me her boss would listen to the original sales rep recording". Can you verify your address please? Holy guacamole. I knew the dude who promised free phone, free service was smokin' Crack, but, whatever.
They promised wrong, nudder dude, light bulb, "Keep our Wi fi, there's a Direct TV streaming package that's at the rate you wanted." Ahm, OK. Felt a little weird using my JC Penny's card at Macy's, but, whatever.
Four Direct convo's w/Direct. All set. $85 a month for streaming, and yes, FanDuel included to watch your Royals.. (Spectrum wi fi then went from forty to fitty, billed at 55. Huh? Yeah, take the streaming box to UPS, then you ain't gonna be charged the 5.
Beer, cigs, thick pork chop cooked all by myself in my new air fryer, time for the Royals!
Road racing instead. Huh? Ring, ring, Direct TV. "Well, that's the FanDuel included in your package, the one with the Royals is $125 a month." I started to request they go back and listen to two conversations, diddies, I had with Jack and Diane, two Direct employees doing the best they can. Didn't. "Best I can do is knock $25 a month off for three months." As king of procrastination, "let's do it."
Back to Sunday am, 5:18am to be precise, thunder thunder thunderation - no wi fi.
Enter cussword here.
TV suggest "Restart?" Yes, good idea. Hey, there's my email, but the password is blank. Crap. Do I use my Spectrum password or my Direct password, and, more importantly, whathehell are they?
I gotta go to work. No time for Sargents (Schultze). Later, I'll do it later.
I miss the days where ya pushed the TV out from the wall. Gotta a mirror in front leaned up agin' a chair, you pulled three bulbs out, took em to Breipohl Drugs (I know, but that's where they tested, sold them), problem fixed insidea 30 minutes.... ballplayers weren't multi million dollar dudes thanks to TV revenue, they too had part time jobs in the off season. Channels were 4, 5 & 9 were enough.. and whatever it was that froze on your TV screen at midnight ingrained "go to bed ya old coot."
BRB, gonna copy all this crap and paste it on the FB page Liberty Together We're Stronger page.
Love, Art Stinkletter
