More bits

Sunday I sent a note to my neighbors, Sherry and Lee to confirm that they will come check on the cats, feed the fish and make sure it's not raining in the living room again while I'm gone next week.  I didn't hear a peep.   Sherry (who handles the home email) is not that good about replying and I didn't say 'answer now' but what if they were out of town (not so probable since I'm not cat sitting for them!) or for some reason would not be able to cat sit.

I got no Plan B.  So I started calling today.  Sherry usually has Tuesdays off but there was no answering today.  Finally 6ish, Lee answered and they are on board.  Whew.  She did acknowledge that it was their policy not to piss off someone who has a key to their condo. Very smart. 

letmesaythis just left me an interesting comment about the anonymous comment I got yesterday... She's wondering if maybe my nephew found my LJ and left the comment himself.  I honestly don't think so - I think was just some other guy who also needs to be whacked with a clue stick.  However, I did look through the ljtoys to see if I could get a clue.  Sure enough around the time the comment was made there was someone logged on from a Comcast account in Massachusetts who read the journal.  It was someone not logged on to LJ.  But, the timing is off by several hours and, best I can tell, the hours are the wrong way - they were looking at the page AFTER the comment was made.  There are a couple of other clues that lead me to believe it is not him.  But it is curious...

I wonder if Mom doesn't, on some level, resent her having to depend on me and that's what's behind her attitude.  Also, I think she has far more times when she really doesn't feel good than she lets on.  It's only a week.  I can do it.  It's only a week. 

My Sprint plan comes with 300 minutes a month. I rarely use more than 100.  I'm now at 200 and I still have 2 weeks to go before the end of the billing month.  Glad I thought to look.  I may need to change plans.  I'm going to worry about that at about 270.

No rollover? My minutes just keep stacking up... (Cingular)

[susandennis]

Nope, Sprint. No rollover and a pretty hefty per minute for 301+

[vasilatos]

Well, I get loads of minutes, but the quality is bad. :-)

[susandennis]

Yeah, I've had Sprint forever and it bascially does what I want it to do when I want it to do it.

If I didn't think I'd break my neck I'd do a cartwheel over ljtoys, which I finally just set up. Thanks for all the cool stuff you keep posting!

I'd had Sprint for 15 months of a 24-month contract. When I called to up my minutes to a bajillion, they asked for my SSN "to confirm the change." What I didn't know until I called toward what I *thought* was the end of my contract, back when they gave out new phones if you reupped - that SSN thing they recorded? They said it was me confirming the start of a new f.ing contract! The phone guy NEVER said I was starting a new contract, and I specifically asked about adding minutes when I signed on. Evidently the guy who sold me my phone and plan specifically lied through his teeth. I thought I'd read the fine print and it wasn't there.

Just so you know. If you're in a contract now and choose to add minutes, they WILL start your contract over.

Well, nice to know you are provocative enough to warrant 'anonymous' comments, lol.

With Alltel, I can change my plan any time and it doesn't change my contract. I thought they were all like that, 'specially if you increased your plan.

I hope your trip to see your mom goes well for both of you.

We went to visit Hubby's daughter one Thanksgiving, that won't ever become a tradition.

I think that's very likely. Sigh. Not a whole lot either of you can do about it.
