I have been off line for the past several days.About 10.
This was due to a 'forign' name being attached to our phone service with Bellsouth/AT&T.
Evidently,,a 'cell acct' was left connected/tagged to our 'new to us' number,,from the former number/acct holders,we think.But it gave us trouble for several months.
Even though we were paying our bill,,and not (as far as we know) having any actual charges from them added onto the portion we paid (we don't have the cell feature) when they didn't pay theirs,,ours got cut off.
This happened three times.All three times they did turn service back on and said they had corrected the problem.The third time my wife conversed with Deputy about it and he said to contact him if it continued.
It did,,she did.
He spoke to the folks and now,,we have a new number and alledgedly,,it's a temporary one.(?)
But I am back on line,,even though the DSL logon name was mispelled.
Just today,,right before I started writing this entry,,I was just about to call them about that final issue,,which if uncorrected,,may have led to a repeat of the crap all over again with a different name as far as I was concerned,when the phone rang and it was the AT&T/BS Quality Control Department (!?!)
The gal with the heavy accent asked if we were content with our recent interactions,,I said,,'all except for,,,'
Now,,according to Allie,,with in the next 3 days,,I will try to log on and I will be told 'nope' after which alledgedly will log in the correct name and be done with corrections.
(If I stop showing up,,you can probally be sure that it didn't work out all peachy and creamy)
I have taken advantage of the 'offline' time to write a couple more parts to Wee!Gee!
I'm sure a lot of folks are curious about what comes next,,if the pg views the Tripod module has counted mean anything.
From the 18th,,which was the last time I checked the number,,to when I checked last night,it went from 2196 w/51 prev day to 2566 w/80 prev day.
Thanx for visiting folks,,and for those actually looking to see if there was any new Wee!Gee! installments,,here ya go,, Part 8 & Part 9.
(there is a back story going on right now,a bit of reverie,,from a long ago October night,,across the street and two houses down from the neigborhood cemetary involving a different ouijie board.)
As to the bees,,well,,I did get some photos of the hive,,and got surprised myself when I finally got a straight in look.
NO,,I haven't located someone to come take them.Allthough I have found plenty that take them if I pay them,,that makes me wonder if there really is a problem with bees in the U.S. disapearing,,howbout ya'll?
(I have sent a local beekeeping biz 2 emails so far with no response,,no not even a 'buzzoff' from 'em ~smirk~)
NO,,I haven't killed them yet.
No,,they haven't harmed anyone,,so far.
No,,I didn't get the pics of them with that Vivitar ViviCam3350.I shot 'em the old fashioned way,,with film!
So,,after I finish the role I'll scan 'em and post 'em.Even if I have to go the library,staples or kinckos to do it.
(I am still on my current backup pc,,and it don't like my scanner,,or that Vivicam for some reason.Darn HP!)
I have some other shots of stuff to let ya'll see.On a different roll I have some shots of the recent full eclipse of the moon from my backyard.
But on the roll with the hive are some 'casual observations' that I think someone out there may enjoy seeing,,who?I don't know,,but I hope one of you will let me know if you do,,or if ya don't,even.
To comment on the Tripod glitch and what it has led me to do,,I decided to give The Staks as much freedom to grow as I can on a free account.
I opened http://thestaks.tripod.com ,,that way there won't be any bull and I don't have to worry much about filling up the main sites 20mb.
Even though I will transfer/replicate them at The Staks site,I will leave The Original Staks where they are.As well as V2,,untill it becomes a matter of space.
(So they will remain accesable via the links I placed in my Excite Board posts for future 'bored-board miners' as long as possible.)
That now makes for these being the official Tripod pages associated with me and the harbin336 excite account:

&
,,and each sites blog when or if I use them.
IOW,,ACCEPT NO SUBSTITUTES,YA'LL!!!
Ya'll come back now,,y'hear?
