OH I forgot, no home phone service either, glad I still got my cell...

It started Monday night, My TV had no signal, not right, Called the provider in the next early morning, No help did they provide; nothing in sight… Early Tuesday morning I awoke to a water drip, Then it changed to a water flow, A pipe burst in my living room ceiling, By this time my mind was reeling, The complex fixed the pipe & left a gaping hole, Nothing more they can do till the area does dry, I am getting close to having to cry… Called the TV company during the day Tuesday, The best they could do was send a technician, Their first appointment not till Thursday, Okay, as long as I got the computer I don’t need the TV, Now the TV came back on its own, but only ONE channel, Do you sense a pattern here; the powers that be are out to get me… Okay, the TV is back sort of, but now the computer is down, Won’t connect to the internet, realize it must be the router, I call the company AGAIN; have to wait till my appointment, Getting to the point of crying again, only this time much louder, So today I am going out for a long ride, Need to clear my head & put these “wonderful” problems aside… Honestly I can only with this entire situation, laugh, Because to really cry there is no reason, It’s been a rough winter so far all around, Everything will eventually change, when finally comes the summer season… …Hope I can make it that long without pulling my hair out… © -me- 2/18/15

I must've been channeling you because yesterday my TV began to act up, and then my phone, and finally, my Internet pages wouldn't load… All are on my Comcast cable. Since I couldn't call Comcast, it looked like a big do do, until it came back on its own…

Perhaps that will happen to you? Now the water pipe… That's really big do do!

Good write of winter's blues...a drive to enjoy the scenery
or stop and pet the puppies at the park...

At least your car's ok,
so go for a drive,
night or day.
And then tell your providers,
For lost service, you're not going to pay.
Yeah right. Screwed again!

Go for a Long Drive;
Go for a Long Walk;
Go to a Pet Shelter;
To the dogs, you can Talk.
