Well, my activation date for DSL came and went with no DSL. TWICE! The latest news is that the Technicians for Verizon have now turned my account over to the Engineers. Whatever that means.... The Engineers say I Will have DSL Tuesday the 21st. Only time will tell for sure. I do know one thing for sure though, if I see Wednesday without DSL. I am cancelling it out and sticking with dial-up for now. Direct TV had a small glimmer of light when the wife started asking questions about it but that light has faded again....8 ( I am hoping things get turned around here soon. I do stop in as much as I can but fear it's not enough. I miss my daily dose of Posy. I am getting time to play with a few ideas though so all is not lost. Hope to be back on a regular basis soon. If not I wish you all a happy holiday, and end of year celabration!
