My wife's post on her blog, that I wanted to share here. My comment on her blog is below her entry:
I didn’t know before that almost every city here in the US have different designated cable company. When we moved out from hubby’s house and rented here in the apartment located to a another city, which is only 5 to 10 minutes from the house I’ve found out that we can’t use the old cable company we were been using to the old house that is for sale right now. There’s only one Cable Company that we can use here in this area. So we had no choice but to try the said company. Few days since we’ve moved here, a man from Cable Company knocked on the door and said he was from cable. He installed the supposed DVR box hubby ordered from them. If I am not mistaken, he probably stayed 30 minutes to install everything and tried it. When he was done, he called me (as I was arranging in the kitchen) and said it’s done and please sign the paper. So I signed the paper and then he went out from the door.
Seven hours later, my husband arrived from work. He tried the TV and had hard time using the remote. He tried and tried and tried… and still can’t figure out why it’s not working, that we can’t even change channel at all. He asked me if the man who installs it teach me how to use the remote… and…I said nope. He called the cable company and found out they install the wrong box since it’s for high definition TV. Hubby was mad to hear it especially when he asked if somebody could come the next day to install the right box and the cable company said nope… and that hubby should bring it to the office to change the box.
The next day, hubby goes early to drop by to the cable company on his way to work. Things go smoothly and they exchanged the box… until hubby said I want to get the installation fee since I am the one who’s going to install this one… hummm the lady replied annoyingly with silly faces “We are not going to return the installation fee since we already installed it and it was on… Hubby replied… Lady you installed the wrong box not the one I ordered. And since I am the one to install this new box why should I pay for the installation??? The arguments lasted longer and longer until hubby got so mad and was annoyed by the lady’s remarks and how they are handling the situation….
Hubby told me that he is not the only customer battling about the incapability of that Cable Company but there was actually a lot of people in line with different issues that even said hubby is lucky enough because the Lady he talked too is nothing compare to how annoying other employees are. Well people have no choice because they are only cable company in this area...
Good thing though, hubby called the customer service and told them what happened to that office here in this area and the customer service said they will settle everything and that they will give back the installation fee.
MY RESPONSE:
I have never dealt with anyone so rude, obnoxious, inconsiderate, and stupid as that woman in the office. Just knowing she is alive and breathing good air makes me want to vomit on my feet. Dealing with that pathetic excuse for a human would make the Pope become pro choice. I can only hope after her parents error with her that they found the condom isle in Walmart. There should be a government mandated sterilization when it comes to people like her. God forbid she breeds.
It makes me wonder with people like her- if she went in for surgery and they removed the wrong kidney, would she happily pay the doctor? Or if she put $30 in the bank and they deposited it to the wrong account, would she just let it slide? The doctor DID do the surgery- and the bank DID deposit the money. So maybe she would be happy with those results? Something tells me no she wouldn't, but she is such a stupidhead that maybe she would. She almost seemed convinced what she was telling me made sense. If I hadn't of heard so many horror stories about how they treat their customer's, I would have almost believed it was an accident. But after everything I've been told, I know she was just being a crooked scumbag with deliberate horrible customer service.
They eventually reversed the charges after I got the right person on the phone and told them I know how call centers work, and that I would make that the most expensive $30 they ever stole from someone if they didn't correct it. And he did, very promptly and politely. Too bad that pond scum in the office has us desperately searching for another provider.
People wonder why our economy sucks and companies are all going bankrupt and people are shopping overseas. Hum, maybe this is why? I never got this kind of service overseas. Never. And her company IS hurting, a lot. So it seems they would jump through hoops to keep customers. Or maybe she is just lazy and hopes if she runs enough off, they company will fail and she will get laid off and then can sit home on welfare. My bet would be that is what drives it.
And if you read this and you are the parents of the cable lady- I'll give you a hint. They are right in front of the pharmacy- in a box labeled "trojans". So please, go get some and never make another mistake like her again.
Thank you.

The Audacity of Birds
I remember being a kid and when my family would drive down the street, birds drinking water or picking up mowed grass shavings from the street would scatter everywhere. Then when I got a little older, I would chase them on my bicycle and watch them fly away in fear as we screamed and peddled as fast as we could.
Fast forward a few years to when I was a teenager, and even though I drove the fastest car in Burleson Texas, it was rare that you could even come close to hitting a bird. No matter how hard I mashed on the gas and swerved to plug one, it was impossible. And not so many years ago, each spring a bunch of black birds would fill up the power lines behind our home and make so much noise it was impossible to hear the TV. But one clap of the hands outside sent them flying off to another area of the city.
But recently I've noticed a change. Birds are not only brave, they are bold to the point of blazon audacity. At first I thought I was just kind of losing my mind, so I began to watch. And just as I had thought, they were getting bolder by the week, it seemed.
No longer when I drive down the street do they scatter in fear. Instead, they tiptoe to the side of the road, wait for me to pass, then hop back out to whatever they were doing. The ones gathering on the power lines, clapping and screaming like a wild banshee has no affect. They just continue to sit there and chirp. The neighbors occasionally flee, but not the birds.
I was ranting about this a couple of weeks ago and my wife thought I was nuts. Until of course, her curiosity got to her and she began to notice that I was correct. The true test came the other day when she was mowing and I was following behind her fertilizing, and the birds were brave enough to land in between us and eat the fertilizer I'd just put down, even though I was five feet away and walking toward them.
But today one of them crossed the line between simply being brave and strutting some sort of bird-endzone-dance in my face.
As I mowed the back yard, a bird swooped down and tried to grab some sort of cricket. But the cricket jumped across my mower. The bird, in hot pursuit, jumped up on top of my moving, mowing mower, glanced at me, then leapt down and grabbed the cricket.
Now, there is no way anyone will convince me that a bird from the past would have done such a thing. Used to, when a mower would start, they would fly off as fast as they could and not come back for days.
I've mentioned this to other people who have also noticed the trend, so maybe it is true? If it is, then what is causing it? Are they getting more used to people after all of these years? Or are they maybe getting so hungry for whatever reason, that their sense of self preservation is overwhelmed by hunger?
Yes, that bird erked me.

No Pesos?
In Philippines- 2006:
Irish prepared another excellent breakfast Monday morning, and after eating, Annie and I headed to the office of Cebu Air to get our plane tickets so we could fly back to Manila.
When we arrived at the office, no one was there, and there wasn't any information saying when they might return, if at all. Not good, considering I had another flight to catch back to America when I returned to Manila. So we waited, and waited, and waited. Still no sign of anyone. And even taking "Filipino time" into consideration, this was getting late.
Eventually we lucked out, and someone who knew the employee ("the" as in "one") happened to walk by and took Annie's phone number, promising when he saw her, he would have her text message us and advise when to return to the office.
I was quite nervous, but as promised, the lady messaged us a couple of hours later and we returned to the office. After telling her which flight we wanted to take, it was time to pay. So as I'd done a thousand times during the week, I reached into my pocket, pulled out the pesos, and counted them out.
If you've been reading my blog, you already know the result, don't you? Yap, I didn't have enough! Grrrrrrrrr!
But not a big deal, this is a "major" airline, they'll take American dollars, for sure.
Wrong!
Okay, they'll take traveler's cheques, without a doubt!
Wrong!
So we exit, grab a tricycle, and head to the market area to the currency exchange. No reason to panic, right?
Wrong!
The currency exchange wouldn't trade our money.
Western Union wouldn't trade it.
None of five banks would trade it.
And none of them, not even the banks, would cash traveler's cheques.
But we're still not buried yet, we think. I have three credit cards on me to use in a pinch! And unlike Cebu, where we were stranded on a dock, on a weekend, at night, this was Monday in one of the biggest cities on the island, during business hours to boot.
So we go to bank #1. None of the cards will work in the ATM. Bank #2, same problem. Bank #3, yap you got it: No luck. And none of the banks even knew what a cash advance was, much less had the capability to do one.
Annie Lou and I panic at this point. Once again, we have money, but no one will take it, and we are stranded in Cabadbaran. Not good.
We returned to grandmas house to think of a plan, or commit suicide, I don't remember which...... And that is when we ran into Aunt An.
Suddenly I had an idea. I remembered the time cyber cafe we had passed a few days earlier! If I could somehow get logged in to my Western Union account, then I could just wire the money to myself, and problem solved!
Afraid wiring money to myself would throw up a red flag and possibly lock my account at Western Union, I thought it best to send it to Annie Lou. But since her adddress was in Manila, I was scared again it might get blocked. But luckily An An came to the rescue and volunteered to pick up the money for us, if I would just wire it to her.
So the three of us made our way to the cyber cafe, then Annie Lou and I stuffed into the tiny booth where the workstation was located. Sure enough, without a glitch, I wired the money to An An.
And yes, this was "the booth" that enlightened Annie Lou to what the priest had been talking about the night before.
The last chuckles of the day came when Aunt An went to the Western Union office to pick up the money.
As she filled out the form, the clerk kindly asked her, "Would you like this in American dollars or Filipino pesos?"
Simultaneously, in barks that echoed through the market area like a God-like clap of thunder, all three of us replied, "PINOY PESOS PAKI!!!!" (Filipino pesos, please!).....

Misty Nasipit Morning
I had a dream last night about returning to Nasipit, Philippines (pictured). And it wasn't just a dream, it was a realistic dream, one where you wake up and can hear the sounds, smell the smells, and feel like you have been projected back to the place in your sleep.
Back in February 2006 when Annie Lou and I took the cruise from Manila to Cabadbaran, we docked in Nasipit very early on a Sunday morning just as the sun was beginning to rise over the horizon. It had been raining all night and the quiet harbor was a stark contrast to the docks in Manila and Cebu.
The thick mist that filled the air and hindered visibility gave the town an eerie sense of mystery and made it seem quite enigmatic for a guy who had never been out of the big city in this anomalous Asian country.
"When westerners think of the Philippines" I thought to myself, "this is what most of them imagine."
It was here that I was able to look around and simply appreciate the beauty that God gives us.
But, the best part of traveling from any large city into the provinces for vacation, is you get to pick and choose which memories to keep. For me, I will never forget the smell of the fresh, moist air, the cloud covered mountain peaks, and the thick dense, jungle where I felt more at home than I do in my own house.
I'll also never forget the dozens upon dozens of times I was greeted with "Kumain na po ba sila" ("Have you eaten yet?"), and not just a simple hello. The gracious hospitality of these wonderful people will prevail in my memory for years to come, and I look forward to the day that I am able to once again escape the confines of the big city and return to this beautiful land with so many beautiful people.

"They"
Anyone knowing a Filipino knows there is no arguing with "they". "They" can't be wrong, or "they" wouldn't have said it. If "they" said it, it has to be true. "They" are made up of the most brilliant humans to ever walk the earth. How dare anyone ever question "they"!
And I can deal with that, and I quickly learned to bow to "they".
But............
Whenever *** I *** mention something "they" said, it is rejected by grunts and a raised eyebrow.
Such as-
"They" say a man should get a massage every night at bedtime.
"They" say cake makes a great midnight snack.
"They" say the wife should use her money to pay all the bills.
So my question is this- why is her "they" more intelligent and correct than MY "they", even though she can't tell me one name that makes up "they", yet I can give her a list of hundreds of men in my "they" and "they" will tell her I'm right?

The Monk
A man is driving down the road and breaks down near a monastery. He
goes to the monastery, knocks on the door, and says, "My car broke
down. Do you think I could stay the night?"
The monks graciously accept him, feed him dinner, and even fix
his car. As the man tries to fall asleep, he hears a strange
sound; a sound like no other that he has ever heard. The next
morning, he asks the monks what the sound was, but they say, "We
can't tell you. You're not a monk."
The man is disappointed but thanks them anyway and goes about
his merry way. Some years later, the same man breaks down in
front of the same m onastery.
The monks again accept him, feed him, and even fix his car.
That night, he hears the same strange mesmerizing sound that he
had heard years earlier.
The next morning, he asks what the sound was, but the monks
reply, "We can't tell you. You're not a monk."
The man says, "All right, all right. I'm dying to know. If the
only way I can find out what that sound was, is to become a
monk, how do I become a monk?"
The monks reply, "You must travel the earth and tell us how many
blades of grass there are and the exact number of sand pebbles.
When you find these numbers, you will become a monk."
The man sets about his task. Some forty-five years later, he
returns and knocks on the door of the monastery. He says, "I
have traveled the earth and devoted my life to the task demanded
and have found what you had asked for. There are
371,145,236,284,232 blades of grass and 231,281,219,999,129,382
sand pebbles on the earth."
The monks reply, "Congratulations, you are correct and now you
are a monk . We shall now show you the way to the sound."
The monks lead the man to a wooden door, where the head monk
says, "The sound is behind that door."
The man reaches for the knob, but the door is locked. He asks,
"May I have the key ?"
The monks give him the key, and he opens the door.
Behind the wooden door is another door made of stone. The man
requests the key to the stone door.
The monks give him the key, and he opens it, only to find a door
made of ruby. He demands another key from the monks, who provide
it. Behind that door is another door, this one made of sapphire.
And so it went until the man had gone through doors of
emerald,...
silver, topaz, and amethyst.
Finally, the monks say, "This is the key to the last door."
The man is relieved to no end. He unlocks the door, turns the
knob, and behind that door he is astonished to find the source
of that strange sound. It is truly an amazing and unbelievable
sight...

Ram
Having enough ram is vital to your computer running to its full potential. Lack of an abundance of memory, not just what matches the “minimum requirement”, is needed to prevent crashes, lock ups, and general nuisances that disturb your work or play.
When it comes to ram, never settle for less than tested and guaranteed memory. Call in your order, order from online, and rest assured that your computer will run the programs you want it to run.

Girlfriend
2 years ago, I upgraded my version of GirlFriend to GirlFriendPlus
1.0, which is a Terminate and Stay Resident version of GirlFriend. I
discovered that GirlFriendPlus 1.0 expires within a year if you
don't upgrade to Fiancee 1.0. So I did, but soon after that, I had
to upgrade to Wife 1.0, which was a huge resource hog. It was taken
up all my space, so I can't load applications such as Pokernight
10.3, Drunken Boys Night 2.5 and Saturday Football 5.0 no longer
ran, crashing the system whenever selected. .
Although I did not ask for it, Wife 1.0 came with MotherInLaw
which had an automatic pop-up feature that can't be
turn off. I tryed uninstalling Wife 1.0, and found that Wife 1.0
deleted all my MSMoney files before doing the uninstall itself.
I've been running the same version of DrinkingBuddies 1.0 forever as
my primary application, and all the GirlFriend releases I've tried
have always conflicted with it. I hear that DrinkingBuddies won't
crash if GirlFriend is run in background mode and the sound is
turned off. But I'm embarrassed to say I can't find the switch to
turn the sound off. I just run them separately, and it works okay.
Girlfriend also seems to have a problem co-existing with my Golf
program, often trying to abort Golf with some sort of timing
incompatibility. I probably should have stayed with GirlFriend 1.0,
but I thought I might see better performance from GirlFriend 2.0.
After months of conflicts and other problems, I consulted a friend
who has had experience with GirlFriend 2.0.
He said I probably didn't have enough cache to run GirlFriend 2.0,
and eventually it would require a Token Ring to run properly. He was
right - as soon as I purged my cache, it uninstalled itself.
Shortly after that, I installed GirlFriend 3.0 beta. All the bugs
were supposed to be gone, but the first time I used it, it gave me a
virus anyway. I had to clean out my whole system and shut down for a
while.
I very cautiously upgraded to GirlFriend 4.0. This time I used a
SCSI probe first and also installed a virus protection program. It
worked okay for a while until I discovered that GirlFriend 1.0 was
still in my system. I tried running GirlFriend 1..0 again with
GirlFriend 4.0 still installed, but GirlFriend 4.0 has a feature I
didn't know about that automatically senses the presence of any
other version of GirlFriend and communicates with it in some way,
which results in the immediate removal of both versions.
Are there any versions of GirlFriend 5.0 that work well, I
understand there will be some problems. As with anny version of
GirlFriend, as they are all written in some obscure language I can't
understand, much less reprogram. Frankly I think there is too much
attention paid to the look and feel rather than the desired
functionality.

still in my system. I tried running GirlFriend 1..0 again with
GirlFriend 4.0 still installed, but GirlFriend 4.0 has a feature I
didn't know about that automatically senses the presence of any
other version of GirlFriend and communicates with it in some way,
which results in the immediate removal of both versions.
Are there any versions of GirlFriend 5.0 that work well, I
understand there will be some problems. As with anny version of
GirlFriend, as they are all written in some obscure language I can't
understand, much less reprogram. Frankly I think there is too much
attention paid to the look and feel rather than the desired
functionality.

Dallas Cowboys
I worked out all winter in the hope of joining the Dallas Cowboys football team. I lifted weights, jogged, did countless situps and pushups, and spent hours upon hours sitting at the Boflex.
Unfortunately, I didn't make the team. But, they did refer me over to the cheerleading squad. And guess what! I made it! I actually made it!
Here is our team photo.
Bus Driver
You are a bus driver.
At the first stop 7 people get on the bus.
At the second stop, 4 people exit, 3 more get on.
At the third stop, 5 get on, 2 exit.
At the next stop, 9 people get on, 6 get off.
What color are the bus driver's eyes?
