I see we are once again being over-run by Incorrigible Boys!!!

Ok "gentlemen" (and I use that term liberally)... I'll see your Amazonian breast plates constructed from beer cans, and I'll raise you a hunky piece of eye candy for the ladies.




Oh win win win!!

Dish Network had put Me down as to having a leased box and remote, Even though I'd bought the box and remote on ebay back in October 2006(I still have the emails), If It were leased then one would think that they'd send a tech out to fix the signal w/o trying to charge Me(Dish wanted $95 to send a tech out to do the work), which has been going in and out for well over a month, But then I'm canceling and Dish said I'm getting a credit of $37.02 back from them, So No more bills from them now. :D

It all sounds very complicated.

I've been with DISH for almost 6 years, and other than weather related issues, I've not had a problem. My kids damaged a remote, I asked for a new one, got one, no charge. Had to replace a 2nd one, again, no charge. My bedroom TV lost signal, due to a bad coax connection, they came out, replaced it, and no problems since. I've had good service from them everytime I've had to deal with them.

It's not really, In any case It's done now. I have all of 11 channels(9 analog and 2 digital) and they don't cost Me anything, I'm going to have to look for Monster and Stargate Universe online instead of on Satellite, But that should be no problem, SU is online, As to Monster I found a site for that and in English too. :D

You probably lease Your box, Me I own Mine, I might go back later, But They'll have to fix My Dish as It won't receive anything, It used to receive just fine as only snow or rain would effect It, So I'm doing UHF and internet which doesn't cost Me as much or is free(UHF-TV from a Dish Network fed translator nearby). Actually scratch the Free part, As I pay property taxes to help maintain that Translator and It does pretty good, Better than My box did.

Edit: I also unplugged the box from power as I still had timers on It, So It powered up after I stopped the service and I was still getting service, Now with the box unplugged I don't have to worry about that now at least.

Coffee? Whats zat? ;) Today I'm going to get a coffee maker and a sunshade for the car, Hopefully the sunshade will fit My car better than My sister in laws car, As It may be Friday or Saturday when the carport is removed and two metal window awnings are installed instead, Sure the awnings will be a bit noisy, But not as much as the carport has been and the awnings won't damage the house as the wind can move through them with no problems.

Your probably right, its been so long I don't remember. LOL I guess thats the difference in service, if you lease it from them, they are obligated to fix it, but if you own it outright, your screwed.

I got back from Victorville with the coffee maker(a Sunbeam made Mr Coffee, a model TFX20, My old filter fits too) which I was told would do 8 cups over the phone, I got It and technically It will do 12(My Sister in law just didn't look closely at It or It's 8 cups of the type cup She has on hand), I even got a sunshade too and It fits, So I've saved a bit of Money today, I also had a slice of pizza and a can of lemonade, It seems I always get fed when I go to Victorville. :)

Now for the litterbox, I had to switch to a different one as I'd been outbid, No matter, I had planned for that possibility happening.
