It was like Christmas! Several hundred dollars - unexpectedly! <br /><br />I've never gotten on the AT&T bandwagon, but I have had friends who almost needed a surgeon to get rid of Comcast.<br /><br />Speaking of nightgown, just this morning - the only morning I could sleep in thus far this summer - I was surprised by a work crew at my door at 8 a.m. The appointment was actually for 12 noon. Fortunately, my son's robe was handy (speaking of which, where in the world is my robe?). <br /><br />Love this post...I could feel the ice cream coated joy.<br />Cherdo<br />www.cherdoontheflipside.com<br /><br />Cherdohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00264612202714933480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3321084510373631678.post-79694976441966021392014-07-30T06:44:08.782-05:002014-07-30T06:44:08.782-05:00I regularly drive the kids to the train or even to...I regularly drive the kids to the train or even to school in a nightgown. A couple of weeks ago the car appeared to breakdown and I was dying inside.

Besides the price of an ice cream cone, they close at midnight. McDonald's machine was down for three hours to cool off and be cleaned. So, I got a $ burger.

However, I have it forwarded to my cell. I never miss a call--for good or worse. But, it works as it is supposed to when I go over to it and dial my cell that I have lost. I would highly recommend it. <br /><br />This refund saved my life.

After her death I cancelled the contract and returned their equiptment. And then started receiving letters from a debt collector saying my mother owed them $800. It seems that dying is sufficient reason to cancel a contract. I won in the end, but it was a hard fight.Elephant's Childhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06650565833097914052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3321084510373631678.post-24282314580109429972014-07-29T17:42:42.603-05:002014-07-29T17:42:42.603-05:00I have been out in a night gown but rarely as I am...I have been out in a night gown but rarely as I am always afraid the car will pick that day to break!
