I haven't really had much to report financially lately. Thats a good thing though. I was a bit busy the last few days and didn't get to read these blogs. Last night I played catch up and read a condensed version on what I had missed.
I'm a little bit addicted to reading everyone elses blogs so I hate when I don't get to.
Anyways last night I had to pay my verizOn phone bill. Their website is the worst anyway in my opinion. I have dial up and with all the other bill pay sites I don't have much of any trouble. But with Verizon it always takes me a long time. Its very slow. Well last night it would make me wait seemingly FOREVER then it would say my password was no good or the site was having problems. Finally I got through and they had re-vamped their security measures. So I had to answer questions and wait for a special number to come in my email. Eventually I was able to pay my bill but it sure wasn't easy. I'm glad all the other online bill sites work so well. I used to just go pay it in person if it wouldn't work online but they closed all the human places down. Its a little sad sign of our times I think. One more step to no human contact at all. Other my work I really could go my entire life without actually speaking to any other live human being.
No wonder its so hard meeting people and forming relationships.
Well that was just a few thoughts I had.
The good news is that I did pay my bill on time. And usually online bill pay works beautifully. So life is good.
not easy to pay sometimes

Yeah dialup can take a long time time but for most of the stuff I do it usually works fine. I just can't justify the cost of high speed internet when I pay only $4.95 a month for the dial up. So just call me slow poke. :-)

That's a good price I must agree. My dialup (cheapest in my area) is about 12.95 (if you pay a year in advance) a month and I also have a connection at my Mums in the city. Cheapest I could find there was 9.95 a month (also paying a year in advance). Only in Canada eh! Boy we get screwed on so many things!

Ohh and if you don't mind me asking out of curiosity, what part of Canada are you in?

I see in the paper they have put up 2 transmitters. One south of me and one north but they have a very limited range.
They are currently lobbying for a transmitter in the main town but that is also a good 12 miles from me.
Thanks for asking.
