Problems… If it isn’t the cable, It’s the phone, If not that, the rent, Maybe I should just give it all up for lent? They turned my phone off a month ago, To get my attention to call them back, But no one mentioned that, So turned back on is where it’s at… So they did it again, no phone this morning, Apparently they did this as another warning, I am sitting here and worrying, yes mourning, I may have to go to the cable modem, Turning off my phone service permanently… But I do give everyone three strikes, They have had their two, getting close, oh yikes, Phone service, I have the minimum that’s what I likes, When they do shut me off to get my attention, Little do they know thru my heart they are driving spikes… © ed ~ 9/13/04

Yeah, those phone people. Nothing but mafiosos, I tell ya. Mine goes off sometimes because I forget to pay, then they cut it off and threaten what? Worse service when they turn back on...Hahaha.

So sorry you are having to go through this. Maybe it is a good thing we don't have a phone?... LOL (We can't afford one, and don't miss having one!) Hope your problems end soon; you are in my prayers!
