Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #13^2: Independence!

On the phone AGAIN with Verizon. Need to change my internet server- these guys are BRUTAL- there in no internal number to call the local service. I have now passed 5 hours trying to solve my connectivity problem. Every time I need to contact another continent, be put on hold, go through a middle person who tries to tell me they need to problem solve before escalating me rinse lather and repeat. Realizing I need to switch. Problem is I have had my Verizon email forever. Can't do anything until I have a laptop. Then I need to reinstall Outlook, import the contacts, etc.

Now they are sending me a free modem/Router that is made by Verizon but I just had someone network all the things including a guest network. Will need to return the thing to BB. Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo unhappy.
Are you on Verizon DSL or FIOS? I have had DSL for ages and am getting sick of the service. FIOS is not available here, and they don't seem to want to change that.

95 and completely sunny. About 110 in my garage. I'm going to go start the car just to see what temp the car says it is in there.

Exact scenario as here. When everyone on the street pops up ( wireless systems available) then I drop off a lot. They keep dicking around. Really stuck b/w a rock and a hard place. Need the intertubes to work. They have no intention of bringing in FIos. They just dropped my speed even more supposedly to help me from dropping off.

Pork chops on the grill. Beer in hand. I don't care if it's 95 out here. Ozone action my aching ***. Don't like it? GFY with one of my shovels.

My cousin's kid is in the middle of his Broadway debut right now. Hope they're killing.
 
Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #13^2: Independence!

Good evening Lodge.

Fogo?

Fogo de Chao (I think that's how it's spelled). Brazilian Steakhouse. If you don't go into a meat coma, or at least get the meat sweats, you're doing it wrong.

Back from a couple days in Duluth.....it was hot there too!
Found out my daughter's "good" ear went from severe to profound loss. Implant #2 on the not so distant future. This is the part where I thank you engineer/techie/medical types. :)

BTW, if I were to start my career over and I was a lot, lot, lot, smarter; I would want to be an Audiologist....absolutely fascinating!
 
Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #13^2: Independence!

Yeah... leg-en-dary. If you can break away from the kids, a sense of wallet, and hang out with some buds... you and the toilet may become good friends but I've heard its worth it.

Its about $50 a person... I guess is depends on where you are (why is boston cheaper than the rest?!?!)

So I guess my grandfather has the fracture right where the femur and pelvis meet. Essentially would need half a hip replacement, if surgery is elected by the children/him. Seeing how he was using a walker and essentially shuffling before the fall, the risks probably outweigh any gains he would make, so my Mom is leaning towards the thought of no surgery and hoping it can heal.

However, realistically, from the sounds of it, this may be the start of the down slide. Statistics just aren't on his side, I think the doctors told my mom that for patients in his case, surgery or no surgery, about half don't make it more than a year and a half. Sucky situation, but I think most of the family understands it was truly just a matter of when he would fall, not if.

The food is excellent. No doubt. Normally it is $50 per person, but Shirtless Guy snagged a deal where we paid $30 per person, including desert, so we got a pretty good deal. For the girlfriend and me, it was about $100 flat for food, drinks, desert and tip. Not too bad a for a very good dinner. Downtown Minneapolis, on the other hand, is the 7th ring of hell.
 
Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #13^2: Independence!

So I was gone for a couple days and am catching up on social media stuff, primarily Twitter, and I have a serious question: People actually watch the ESPY's?
Who Knew?
