Donations to assist with Liz's Medical Bills

Mon. Feb. 15th I hate Comcast and other companies ....

I woke up feeling pretty good . I was even up to handling a few lose ends that I needed to deal with . I start by doing a few thank you's , followed by some breakfast . While eating breakfast I was looking over my Comcast bill and I thought I should change a few things . I never use my home phone , plus if I want to make a phone call I can use my cell or computer . So I call them to disconnect my phone and get a cable up grade ( I figure t.v. watching will increase as fatigue sets in ) . The lady on the other line tells me that I can not have two orders put in at once . I ask her then why can I get all of then turned on at once ? She tells me that is different . I ask how so . She explains it's two different departments . So I ask then why does it matter if I turn off my phone and it a cable up grade at the same time , if they don't go to the same area ? She starts to get annoyed with me , the feeling is responeded . ( I am starting to realize why my dad told me he would handdle these types of things while I was recovering . I could feel my face getting hot and I have to addmit I haven't lost it in a long time and I was starting to feellike I was going to lose it ) She puts me on hold for a few minutes , normally I would possibly be annoyed by this but I find it welcomeing so I am able to calm my nerves . While on hold dad arrives to take me to lunch . I tell him we have to wait till I am done , I have made it to far to give up now . He nods and then proceeds to shake his head and laugh at me . He seems a little excited for a front row seat to see someone else deal with this type of thing . The lady comes back on the line and informs me that her superviser said that I have to do one at a time . I am so hungry that my growls from my stomach sound like me grumbling while taking to the girl . I opt to up grade the cable first , nessity first . I will call tomorrow to turn off the landline ...... she said I had to put one order in at a time she never said the order had to be completed before the next order was placed . There has to be loop holes somewhere in the system right ? I just hope I didn't piss off the cable gods .
After lunch I went and did a few arruns with dad then back to the parents house to watch .... can you guess ?...... The Olympics . I sat in dads chair in the den and at different times had one of the dogs to pet and annoy . For some reason I like to blow on their heads and watch them try and shake it off . I just find it sorta funny . ( In my defence I never had a little brother or sister to pass along all the torments Karyn taught me . It's not like I dress them up and make them have tea partys geez .... ) My great aunt Doris stops by with a meal for me . I run to put it in the fridge , I hide it behind some other leftovers so that it stays safe . I finish watching the Cross Counrty sking and tell dad I was ready to go home . I grab my lovely care package and head out the door .
When I get hom ei turn on the oven to heat up my dinner . As the oven warms up I look to see what I got . Fried chicken , scallop potatos , and strawberry Jello with bananas ! Yummers ! As I look at the bottom of the bag I find some chocolattes and a card filled with get well wishes and love . What a great meal , I can tell my grandma's sister made it the scallop potato's tasted just like hers use to . It's weird but not how food can remind you of things . Made me miss Grambo . ( Karyn and I called granma this because she was a Sargent in the Marines plus dad thought it was hysterical )

  1. Foods and scents really do trigger memories. And good food smells with good memories is a great combination.

    Love ya, Mom

  2. The last portion of your blog made me hungry! :) Food is really one of the best comforters. It also gathers people. I love food! :)

    Anyway, I decided to post to share my well wishes. I hope you are all better now. I also decided to post because of your experience with us. I work for Comcast and I am sorry to learn that we were not able to fully assist you with your request.

    If you don't mind, will you please let me know the phone number linked to your account? I would like to have a better understanding on the incident and I would also like to make sure that your request is accommodated.

    Thanks in advance for allowing me to help!
