Internet Access

WorldBlink, your internet provider. Blink, and we're gone.
Muzzer fookairs.
In the midst of trying to find which box I packed the can opener in, switching down a size in clothes because I can't find the damn thing and I am running my ass off in all departments of life my (ex) internet provider decided as I wasn't obediently submitting (via formal credit card dispute) to fraudulent billing for a double service which had never been ordered, installed or activated they would in fact bill me for the regular service I had ordered AND cut off same service to show me who was boss. All I had to do to get my primary service back was give them an additional credit card number for them to play with and they'd get around to restoring my service when someone on the outsourced side of Accounts Receivable managed to push the "go" button - in 7 - 10 business days, or thereabouts.
My patience is not infinite - I fired the bastards.
48 hours later, with Stateside and friendly customer service who don't hang up on you, I'm back in business.

Primarily Spring

Friends came to meet Helen today. A boat load of tulips and daffodils came with them in glorious, bright, zapping, "wake-up it's March" yellow. Absolutely perfect. Nothing would do at lunch but lemonade.

After some light archeology the perfect vase re-appeared from it's long winter's nap. The sunlight will hit them first thing in the morning. The formica peninsula will be front row.
