No Change Available

Well, no change is possible. Those of you who know us know of our hassles with phone and data service over the years - my AT&T cell phone, which I'd had for nearly ten years, never did work out here. So yesterday I tried Verizon, and it doesn't work either. No signal for phones or data. And since my AT&T cell phone is broken (physically), and my contract is up, I canceled the service. No cell phone for me.

Which is kind of a problem - the cell phone was the only way we could call long distance. Unless I want to pay nearly 50¢ a minute from my home phone. You see, the only kind of broadband available out here is ISDN, and because it's a "business service" you can't put a calling package on it. No discounts.

I'm so frustrated I could scream. But I think I'll go eat dinner instead.

Notes: If you put a <mailto:> link in the URL field your address will not be mangled: this could be a bad idea as your email address could be easily harvested by bots designed for SPAM. The comments field should now format correctly for line feeds and carriage returns: when you hit the 'Enter' or 'Return' keys in your comment it should break to a new line. The text should wrap cleanly. Please let me know if it doesn't. No HTML tags will pass through - entering links seems to be the main cause of comment SPAM. Also, please be sure that Javascript is enabled in your browser before attempting to post a writeback. Sorry for any inconvenience, but this really helps cut down on the amount of comment SPAM I have to deal with.
