The table below shows post I was making at my own page.
One of these days I'll get back in here and do more with the CSS , I am just exited that I have actually done this for about 2 months now.
I still haven't heard back from Kate to see if she needs help getting back online. Maybe she figured out how to reload AOL? Speaking of Kate we took the logo to Kinko’s (odd, it looks like Kinko’s was bought by FedEx.) to have it printed out to size. It is only 75cents per square foot. The sign is only 3 and a half by 2 feet so it should just be couple bucks. The odd thing is that we took it on Sunday and it won't be ready to pick up until Tuesday.
Amber mentioned that there is an apartment for rent on her very quite street. Sarah was telling her Mom (Nancy) about it and oddly enough Sarah lived in the same apartment when she was two! Her dad remembered it also. Amber is going to talk to the people to find our more about it. It sounds like it is smaller than our current place and on the 2nd floor.
I shampooed the living room today before heading to Dave’s for the Memorial Day Shindig; there are always good eats at Dave and Margie’s parties and a good selection of Beer. He tends to go with allot of IPA which are a bit bitter for me but, it's nice to try them out.
Margie hooked me up with Jerel Washington who just moved out here with his family from California Washington
I wonder how many people even stop to think about what Memorial Day is for. I know I didn't...so I will now. Click here for help on what the day is about.
The baby is still kicking and kicking. It needs to move a bit to the left to have it in perfect position. It stuck an elbow or shoulder right in Sarah’s bellybutton tonight. It was uncomfortable for Sarah but I think it moved after awhile. Gryphon had fun playing with Tabitha and Jerel's kids Brittany and Mike.
Following yesterday’s success in making an AVI, today I was able to make my fist VCD using
. I still have to look at it more to understand the main menu of the VCD but I got it to work. My next project will be getting all of our home movies into AVI.
. I still have to look at it more to understand the main menu of the VCD but I got it to work. My next project will be getting all of our home movies into AVI.I finally found software to convert ripped DVD's to AVI files. Auto Gordian Knot or AutoGK for short, is my new friend. It was the program that I found that was just a couple clicks to get started. You tell it where to find the VOB files, where to put the AVI and the size you want the file and then kick it off. It looks like it has some other settings but I have not needed them yet. I am using this to convert DVD's that I do not want to burn, mainly skate videos. I wanted to be able to burn them to CD-Rs. The default setting for size is 1400mg , 2 CD-R's it says. I have just been making them 650mg to fit on one disk. One thing is that it takes a loooong time. Like hours and hours for just one DVD. It takes me less than an hour to RIP and BURN a DVD but it’s not like I am mass producing them. Very easy to use.
I don't care who did what to whom in the past and what political problems and wars may be going on. You don’t attack kids. They have nothing to do with what ever is going on. To quote the "reason" for this attack: Chechnya
"Rebels in
I just need to put some notes here, I am falling behind. Taurus, motherboard, sign, school...
Ok, let’s see the Taurus is now inspected. It still does that hesitating thing but at least we still have two cars going. Next up is the Stanza.
The new Motherboard came from Sybercom in on the 30th as expected. I popped everything in and we were back in business. It's an ECS K7VMA. I also got my XP Service pack 2 CD in the mail. For some reason, that I haven’t been able to find an answer on the net to, it was unable to complete the install.
I copied all the punk mp3's onto the PC. I have about 35gig of music now...maybe Christmas will bring a bigger hard drive in some way.
School started this pass weekend, to much to say on that right now...I still need the books :o(
The Taurus is in the shop today. It sounds like it will be about $500 bucks, whew lucky we got that credit card. It things like this that have knocked us of track so many times.
I am heading over to the Radnor Township Building
Later that same day...
Yea! They put the surface down for the skate park! Here is a cool site for looking at skate parks The Sideways Guide
Ok let’s see where we are...aright then. Sybercom shipped out the new MOBO on the 23 and expected delivery is for the 30th. Gahh... seems like they could at least match my shipping and I only priority mailed it, oh well at least they replaced it.
We went to Barnes and Noble to chill and Gryphon complained that his shoes were hurting his feet. We decided to shot up to Target to see if they had a decent pair of sneaks for him. No good, they had a very tiny selection of sneakers for some reason. They were all shaped like running/ cross training sneakers. We want something more along the line of Vans... We then walked up to Payless and again no decent shoes. We debated about getting him other sandals. He then mentions that it’s his heels that hurt. Apparently they have blisters on them from not wearing socks. Luckily Sarah and I both have one band aide each and we are off to B&N again. I gathered a couple skate mags and G and I went back to the Thomas trains. We had to leave early when G got fed up with this kid who kept blocking him. We asked Gryphon to just go to another part of the track. I guess after he had moved so many times and the kid was still blocking him he had had enough. I felt sort of bad for him as he turned to us and yelled, voicing his anger at the situation and then throwing his trains to the ground. That was our Queue to leave.
Sarah and I went over stuff that needed to be done and also jumped into the name game again. So far we have these front runners: GIRLS-Ruby and Harvest; Boys-Phoenix or Haven.
Did I mention that I watched Hellboy, good, and X-Men2, very good. My blockbuster trial is just about up, I am going to be sneaky and see if I can somehow sign up again.
It was nice to See Sarah and G again ;o) of course Gryphon had a million stories to tell and I don’t thing he stopped talking until he fell asleep. The Baby gave me all kinds of happy to be home kicks. The pick up from the Airport went smooth; I didn't get up in time to think about going to FDR.
We stopped at Old Navy and got some shirts for me and Sarah found a shirt and skirt for herself and a Dinosaur shirt for gryphon. The dinosaurs mouth is a zipper, G really liked that.
G and I built stuff with legos and then watched the Logic#12 Skate video. You can only see somebody grind down a hand railing so many times... it almost seems like the hand plant of New School skateboarding...it's ballsy and takes allot of skill but, I d rather watch peoples runs at skate parks.
No skating yesterday, instead I took back Library books and started getting the house back into shape.
I had sent away for some stickers from Switch.com last week and today they showed up. They are pretty cool, yellow and black with various Switch.com logos. I stuck most to my board, one to my PC case, and one I didn’t like. It said "Skate, Destroy, and Vomit". I didn't get it and it’s just sort of negative.
I did crazy cleaning today and finished painting the unfinished trim...well I am to tired to go on right now. Sarah and G fly back in at 9:20am . I am thinking about leaving here really early and hitting FDR first.
Well it looks like I am a day behind. Yesterday after work I was going to go to FDR again but opted for the Upper Providence Township Skate Park
I got home around 9ish and did up the dishes, did a general straighten up and had dinner while I watched AOTC. Sarah and G called to say goodnight.
I had to call the Wissahickon Water people today and tell them we would not be able to pay them and asked them to just suspend our account until we can pay again. I also called Amber to see if I could take a look at her PC and see what the problem might be. She had plans Thursday and Friday. I told her that if it rained I would come over tonight. It didn't rain.
It only took me a half hour to get to the skate park today. I was meeting David there to skate. He got there around 7 as he ended up in Malvern which is way off course. David is still in the early stages and after the park slowed down he managed to ride over the 3bank and even the low quarters. I had some really good feeling floating Ollies over the 3bank. Yesterday I met a guy who had skated with John Scarano...it's a small world out there. I am starting to feel more confident in the park and am exploring other lines.
I am going to hold back tomorrow and just come home and clean up. I don't even know if I will be able to move tomorrow. The three skate parks in three days are really making me sore, in a good way though. It took about half an hour today to get my legs loosened up enough to skate today, I think I'll be in pain tomorrow and right now :o)
I finished up AOTC tonight and talked to Sarah. She had a bit extra "giddiness" in her voice so I guessed they had Ice Cream, which they did. G was already asleep and they were going to finish watching Starsky and Hutch. Speaking of movies I think I have Hellboy coming tomorrow, another good reason to not skate. heh..skate...like I am even going to be able to walk tomorrow :o)
Grrr..I thought I fixed the CSS....
Lucky me, with a free week and a fun little LAN party planed, my PC decides (while I'm out) to reboot and show a checksum error and then it never boots again. :o( I did not think to write down the checksum error code and the MB was not giving me any beeps to work with. The fan would spin up and some lights would come on. If you had the IDE cable removed from the HD's they would spin up. The symptoms were the same as my last board that died. I looked around the bottom of the capacitors and did not see anything leaking. So Monday after dropping Sarah and G off at airport and skating the awesome FDR Park
When we got to the airport today it was crazy! We got there about 2 hours early and good thing we did. They had everyone going into the terminals going into one security checkpoint; it took about an hour to wait in the line. Sarah had to have a special frisking search because of her being pregnant. As Gryphon realized that I was not going with them he started to hold my leg and be a bit more cautious about what was going on. Eventually I could go no Farther with them and he did start to cry... :o( People would look at him and then me like I had done something wrong. When ever he looked at me I would try to shoot a big smile but, when he saw me it seemed again to remind him that wasn't crying. Very sad...
Fresh from frisking Sarah took off for her gate. The plan was for me to hang out until the plain took off so that if there was some problem she could come back out to me. I waited and watched the flight monitors until 6:15 when her flight, 647, changed from ON TIME to Boarding to Depart. I waited for another couple minutes and then headed off to FDR.
I thought FDR was down by the stadiums in some back parking lot. I road up and down turning into any road that went toward I-95. Still no luck. I drove back and ended up going into the city and decided to turn around and head toward home and maybe ask someone on the way, before I hit 76. I saw a sign for FDR Park FDR Park
Let’s start with the Taurus. It’s not too bad. It would be @$500 to get in to pass including inspection costs. It needs almost a whole exhaust system@$270, front wheel bushings @$100 and a rear swaybar@$62. We got the sway bar and will think about how we want to pay for the rest the options are push back our rent or put it on the Credit Card. Neither is really that good of option. But at least if we put it on the Card then rent will be on time.
The Coven Triad came here for a meeting. David and Peter were here so we got to go over a couple LAN details as well. I am a bit syked that David has a ton of old punk that I used to listen to and I have been holding on to cassette tapes of. He also has movies that I will be able to suck up.
Blockbuster sent the old TV show "one step beyond" instead of the skate video again. I sent them an email about it. Let’s see what happens. We watched "13 going on 30". We like some fluffy movies but this was pathetic...avoid it, even if you are only 13. I also got Menikmati in. It’s a very well produced skate video with some good stuff. I would like to see a video with more park footage.
While we were looking for a gift for Sydney Marshall Sydney Sydney
On tap for tomorrow we have...packing for Sarah and G and also a birthing class...I think I have gotten what I need from the classes. I would much rather have the time period that the class is to play with G. It seems that the only time we get to play are right before bed or right before some other activity, I’d love to have some real down time that we cold just play or go outside with out thinking about were we have to be...
Well the Taurus is at the shop for inspection and we wait for the next big financial hammer to drop.
Whew a day with out a crisis!
We had a hot dog luncheon at work today. I brought the Veggie dogs and the rest was paid for by everybody else. It was very good with saurkraught and baked beans and all kinds of good stuff.
I only did one lap today for fear of being rained on
When I got home Sarah was still at my parents where she had been baby sitting Devin. My mom bought them all Pizza for Dinner so I had some time to clean the bathroom and do the dishes, play a game of Magic and a little bit of Team Fortress.
The LAN party is coming together. It looks like next Thursday the 19 will be the night. Ron is having problems with his CD ROMs and may not be able to come. I sent out an invite to Kyle and will send one on to Burt.
Sarah woke up early and was stressing about the money stuff. I thought the best thing would be to send an email so we could clarify stuff and get it in writing I eventually sucked it up and agreed to call her as laid out in yesterday’s entry.
I had the urge to skate today so I went to my little spot and broke the bearings in for half an hour. One word about the bearings...Smoooooth. I can't wait to get them in a park.
I sent out the LAN party invite email. So far David responded and put down for Wed or Thur for his best days. I am going to extend the invite to Kyle and maybe Rich. I'm not sure they are into that sort of thing but we will see.
I got home and played with G. We played hermit crabs with some big shells, he had a small birthday for me, giving me shells :o) and then we drew some shells and a treasure Map. That led to him drawing a Sub, a shark and an Octopus. I added a helicopter and a parasailed into the mix. He cut them all out and added one of those signs that gets pulled behind the plains Down the Shore(that’s for you Sarah) He threw a fit not wanting to go to bed but still ended up there after he won some small battles.
Just some notes on some stuff to follow up on.
After a week of doing nothing but homework during lunch I finally got back to walking today. I seem to have lost about 7 to 10 pounds. I also take the time to read as I walk I follow a path that goes around Radnor Elementary, over Matson ford and then 3 to 4 times around the track, reading all the way, and then back around the school.
Peter and Rowan invited us to dinner so Sarah arranged for G to go stay the night at his Great-Grandmothers house for the night.
Sarah had been to the midwife that day and had a good visit. The bad part was that we came to the realization that we misunderstood how the payment was going to work out. We thought it was a total of 2000 we would barter for 500 and had played her 300. So we were shooting to have a thousand paid up by November and the rest when our tax return came in. So we thought we only needed 200 more before Nov. Now as it turns out the total was 3300, she was letting us barter 1300 and we would owe 2000 cash. That’s fine but for us all to realize that now, 3 months before Sarah is due was a shock to the system. I called Kate (on the 10th I'm playing some catch up here) to get everything figured out. We still wanted to have the homebirth and she is a friend and willing to work with us telling me not to worry about the money as much and we could stick to our budget get everything paid up by the tax return. Whew, that was a stressor.
Dinner at Rowan and Peters was nice. The talk turned to the midwife payment crisis and teeth stuff. Rowan just about put on a cooking show with a great dinner and a lunasa (I think) song.
We got home and talked/ stressed over the money some more and went to sleep. I mention that I missed seeing G today. I decided to make sure I played with him after work tomorrow until bedtime.
My Bones REDS bearings came today. I popped them on and they were nice and quite and spin very long. I picked up an old ABEC3 bearing and most of them were crunchy and barely turned. No wonder I was having a hard time getting around the skate park. I can't wait to try them out.
I got up at 8:30 or so and had some oatmeal for breakfast with G and Sarah. The plan for the day was Skate Park
I called Burt and left a message that I was going to be at the skate park at about 10am until 12. When I got there was one other person skating and another young kid. The skater left a couple minutes after I got there. I realized the other little kid was just watching and asking questions and sliding down the ramps. He left after a while and I did something I never did when I skated in the 80's...I skated with my shirt off. I thought "well I'll just put it back on when somebody comes". But a couple people cam and I didn't. It felt good to have the sweat cool you off and not be soaking wet. I skated around mostly just trying to get some lines down that I didn't have to keep pushing. I think if the ramp were closer I cold keep a run going or if I was doing tricks at the tops of the ramps. Anyway it was still fun and its helping me lose weight. I am down to 173 were I was pushing into the 183 rang for a while, that’s pretty cool.
The reunion was cool. Ill have to come back to that. I want to move onto other things like making a video
The midwife called this morning and she was at a birth so our appointment was cancelled for now. That allowed us to get a visit in at Sarah's parents before going to the Lumansa Ritual. It also allowed me some time tomorrow to get to the skate park before we go to a family reunion for people that Uncle Dave has brought together...I just hope there is some beer.
That’s not very detailed info but at least I am trying to get into the habit.
I took my last final of the term and probably did ok. This will be last Friday night class for awhile as next term finds me in Sat and Sun morning classes. I got home to find Gryphon watching the original Borrowers movie. This movie is like 3 hours long and pretty slow moving. Gryphon a bit of a freak out fit wanting to watch another movie. It was about 9:30 by then and I wanted to watch our first movie from my free month Blockbuster Trial, Starsky and Hutch. After dealing with G, Sarah and I moved back out and watched the movie. As far as we are concerned it was a hit! We were already fans of Zoolander so when I saw they were in this movie I knew it would be right up our alley. I am ripping the DVD right now. Since I don’t have any DVDR's right now I want to try to make a VCD of some of the skate videos I have coming. Maybe I will burn this one to my DVDRW until I get more DVDR's.
They through a nice little baby shower at work for the four people who were expecting soon. They were also nice enough to take up a collection and get us Gift Cards for Baby’s r Us, $75, very nice.
I went to my little spot today and skated during lunch. I still don't know if I have the front and back of the board figured out...maybe I just predrilled the wholes a little off. Is the nose longer on these Popsicle shaped boards? Maybe I should have gotten a board with a graphic instead of a blank deck :o)
I also continued reading the Last book in the NJO series. It's good stuff and makes me not want to put it down. In fact I was a bit late for my surprise shower because of it.
I have so many things to right some old some new. This will probably lead to me adding a page about old stuff or something like that. I'll mix in links to topics that I may be writing about and even some pictures. Speaking of pictures I need to add one with a caption to this site for home work. Let’s see, what I have hanging around.

| beers...” |
I guess a better picture choice may have been of me. But since I don't have any right now you get a glimpse of my other home, TV Guide. That's my nice shiny iMac. It's a pretty good machine and the OSX operating system along with its bells and whistles is pretty cool. I would mind having a MAC but they are so freaking expensive... That puppy right there was about $1200. Unfortunately for us they bought this right before the bigger LCD came out.
Well let’s see if I can get some color on this page and maybe a logo at the top.
Ok, I got some colors going, it's not quite right yet but it's a start.

My Spotlight vote:
Elton John, because my 4 year old son is a big fan. Funny huh, a 4 year being a big fan of Elton john. Well Elton John made a guest appearance in a Bob the Builder Movie singing Crocodile rock. We now have a best of CD and he can sing a bunch of the songs with out CD on. I was never into Elton John but it could have been worse, it could have been a cheesy brit boy band or something like that.
Car Fire
(Part 1)
I saw a car on fire today on the way to work and I was just wondering how a car catches on fire by itself.
Daily Stuff
I made two out of three of my phone calls yesterday. I have a dentist’s appointment for 8/3. I still need to call my school to see if my loan was dispersed.
I got some other computer stuff done last night.
Got the old digital Camera working with the PC
Made a list of my CD collection (it’s all ripped into my PC, 25gig) for my sister-in-law so she can pick some stuff for me to burn to some DVD's.
Did a WinXP update
Car Fire
(Part 2)
At the light right before I get to work, I looked over and my car was smoking! I got to work and checked under the hood and saw that my antifreeze was basically gone. Oh so this is how cars catch on fire. Ill have to scoot out during lunch for some coolant, hehe.
I think last week I said I was going to start a new job search this week. I did update my resume in Career Builder so that is at least a step...

I got to play a little of the Microprose Magic the Gathering on my home network last night with a friend, playing Magic is always fun for me. My wife and I tried to watch Monsters Inc last night to see if we wanted to let my son watch it yet. It was cute we both fell asleep before the end though. It would be over my sons head and there were too many sarcastic and mean intentions for us to allow Gryphon to see it yet. So far Finding Nemo is the only approved Disney movie on his movie list...maybe it's just us but he will have plenty of his life to be exposed to all the nasty stuff out there, not that I am not a fan of some of that nasty stuff but then again I am 33 not 4.
I have a bunch of phone calls to make today, lets see if I get them all made. Dentist, Landlord and my school.
I managed to get changed and go skate for awhile during lunch yesterday. I think I got sweatier just changing in the bathroom stall as I did skating.

Oh I forgot two things I felt I needed to add for some strange reason.
Friday night I stayed up till like 3am converting the Line drawing of the logo that we are doing for our midwife to an Illustrator file. My wife drew it; I scanned it and retraced it in Illustrator.
4th of July after the picnic we drove to my friend’s house and watched the townships Fireworks from his back yard. It’s become a tradition now, 3 years.

Ahh a nice weekend.
We picked up our new, to us, car. A 91 Nissan stanza. Our friend took very good care of it and I do not expect any problems passing inspection in September.
After picking up the car went visited our Midwife for our appointment and were able to hear the babies heart beat :o) my son, while interested in the baby, was not patient enough to listen for it. We swung by my parent’s house afterwards to show off the car and let my son play with his cousin for a bit.
4th of July...The plan was to pick up a pregnancy swimsuit for my wife and then head of to the picnic. She wanted a suit that was a bit more hip than your average frumpy suits. We saw that Old Navy had some decent suits a week before so we headed for the one in Plymouth Meeting. Half way there I suggested going to the one in King of Prussia since it was on the way to the Picnic. When we get there they do not have a Maternity section....what? How can they not have a Maternity section in their store in one of the biggest malls in the country? Anyway...Sarah got upset that she wouldn't be able to go swimming and she would be to hot. We went anyway. I got into the pool and we convinced Sarah to wear my shorts and shirt that I wore to the Picnic, all was good.
My cousin had a decent selection of Sam Adams. I had a Cream Stout and a Boston Ale, ok I had two of the Cream Stouts they were pretty good. I also played a horse-shoe-ish type game called Washers. You stand on a box, about 5inches high, a foot or so across and 3 feet long; it has 3 holes about 5 inches wide in it each worth 1, 3 and 5. You try to throw 3 washers, a bit smaller than the holes, into the holes on the other box about 6 feet away. You play to 21. Now they rules that really make the game are these. 1-you can not go over 21, if you have 19 and you get a 5 you go 19, 20, 21, 20, 19, 18. So you subtract if you go over. 2-if you have say 18 and you get a 3 and you still have washers in your hand those remaining washers must land and stay on the box, harder than it may sound when the pressure is on, If not than you lose those points. Oh one more rules. I you get a say a three and your opponent gets a three on top of yours then those points cancel out.
Monday we didn't do too much, I feel asleep during the final episode of Sex and the City season 1, but then again it was 12:30at night.
That’s all for now, back to work!

The only thing better than a company holiday is a company holiday that you forgot about :o) I just found out we have Monday off! The building closes at 2pm today but being in a department that actually deals with putting the book together we do not get to take advantage of that early out to often.
I finally got our scanner at home usable again. It happens that visioneer decided not to make drivers for XP and Linux did not have an answer either. I originally put win98 on as a third OS but I messed up that partition and it was clunky to have to keep rebooting just to use the scanner. I hooked the scanner up to an old computer (named Hoth) that I just recently got started and networked with the new computer (named Ossus). Now we can finish the logo that we are doing as barter for our Midwife that we are having a homebirth with.
I am going to check out the Radnor Township

I rode the train to work today. Whew... it's an hour and a half ride. There is not a direct route between Montgomeryville and Radnor so you have to go all the way into Philadelphia
When my wife’s sister was here she left us the "Sex in the City" season 1 DVDs. There interesting, it's not Buffy the Vampire Slayer but it will do until we can get the Next seasons of Buffy, Angel and Curb Your Enthusiasm. We do not have cable and reception is horrible so these TV shows on DVD are very cool.
This weeks TV Guide (I work at TV Guide) has 4 Elvis covers and a mini CD of an unreleased live song. I haven’t opened the CD yet (we get a free copy each week). I guess it will not be worth anything and the CD is kind of neat looking...

Well...it looks like the song requesting is revamped. I see that I have 288 points also, what ever they may be for. I have a feeling there is a radioKaos board out there that I haven’t found yet.
We went back up to the in-laws last night for one more good-bye party. I'll be glad to get back to a somewhat normal routine. Although it will not start tonight as we have a natural child birth class to attend tonight right after work....
Did I mention that money sucks...I need a better job, Ill work on that next week.

How I did on my test on Friday is still up in the air. I know I didn't do great I am hoping to pull a C at least and hopefully get the book next week.
It was a long weekend. We spent the weekend at my in-laws as my sister-in-law was visiting for a couple days. Take 2 parents+3Sisters+2Husbands+3 under5 year olds add a dash of beer and food and you get all kinds of craziness... oh yhea a dog too.
It looks like we are going after the car that our friends offered us for a $100 bucks a month till we pay off the $100. It doesn’t seem much too many people but that is a big chunk for us.
Packet8 said they can port our local number to the VOIP network but still no E911 in our rate center. I figure ill try for it again in November, which will give me time to get a decent router in the mean time.
I had blood work come back with elevated Cholesterol levels. They are about 10 to 15 points over what they should be. It’s odd though being a vegetarian I already eat a low fat diet, I guess I just need to cut the junk food and get more exercise. Ill

Well, Friday again.
I have a test in my Network Communications class tonight. I never did buy the book so I will see how well my note taking is. I didn’t buy the book because it is $103 and I usually use my left over financial aid money to buy books. The school thought I was only taking one class this term so they did not apply for the loans until I let them know I as taking two(you have to take at least two to get student loans). So my credit won’t be available till July 7. Oh...and I don’t have credit cards (filed bankruptcy 4 years ago).
Anyway...that’s it for now. I am still waiting to hear if the care package (lots of music) I sent to radioKaos got there yet.

Hmm...Not much to say yet today...I emailed Packet8 and told them that I can not see the green highlights that are supposed to show the rate centers that E911 is available. You can see them if you use a pc but via my iMac at work using Safari and IE5 they are not visible to me.
Maybe I'll have something more interesting later...

I am trying to get us hooked up with HSI at home.
Currently: MCI Unlimited calling @$70 + Highstream Dialup @10 and no TV=@$80
Problem: Can not afford both Comcast $13tv+$50(@19for6 months)HSI=@$73 ($53) and MCI @70 = $140+
Solutions:
1) Comcast @$70(@50for6 months)+ VOIP Packet8 $20=@90(70for6 months) the only problem is that they do not yet have E911 in our rate center and my wife is not comfortable with having an old cell phone as our 911 phone until E911 is available to us.
2) Comcast@$70 (@50for6 months) + Packet8@$20+MCI Local@$20 (until packet8 has e911) =@110 (@90for6 months)
My hopes would be that Packet8 gets E911 to us by then end of 6 months.
The only other minor problem would be getting a router...
Money is such a love hate relationship.....grrr
