I was driving through the night, LA to Arizona (after spending a day running around Santa Catalina), and stopped at a motel in Barstow. Next morning, I woke up, dressed, stepped out the door, looked all around, and said, "Where the hell am I?" A splat in the desert that calls itself a town. Yes, Juice, you were right to choose Vegas.
Seems to be SOP these days, Crom. I saw an ad that "guaranteed" they would find me an auto insurance policy that would save me money and at no time did anything offer me a reduced rate, but demanded MY information (which I did not give them - I just logged off). Unfortunately, they had my e-mail and inundated me with spam full of lies (all responding insurance companies charged more than my current policy, but none of them gave an exact number). Yes, I will second (third?) your final comment: Assholes!
That can work, up until they change the fake number they appear to be calling from.
I have a tiny flip-phone for emergency use only. Even I don't know what my phone number is. And it is never "on" so if it ever rang, I wouldn't know. BUT... one of those insurance agent must have access to some computer program I am unaware of because she got my home phone number when she had access to nothing more than my e-mail. But, my home phone (land line) has an answering machine and any incoming call whose number we do not recognize will be picked up by the machine and the call will never be returned.
Why I have so many asshole entrys in my phone. I think I can only put a max of 4 numbers per entry.
Same here. anyone who knows us will call on our cells. The answering machine volume and ringer is turned down and we just check it every few days to see if anything worthy of note is on it.
I need to see if I can drop the landline and keep DSL....That's what we do too
Think we are just not going to do a landline at all once we move
Checked into those but the data caps are too low. And wind up being pretty pricy.
It is a microwave kind of thing and requires a fixed location and line of sight to the transmitting antenna.
Yes better.
Probably Doby. I think he complained more (like all us old pharts seem to do).
Mine is both. While the phone is only 1/3 of the total monthly rate (land line plus 200 minutes of long distance plus 10M DSL), if I drop the phone, the total rate stays the same. If I drop the DSL, the phone rate would double. Out here in the middle of nowhere, it is DSL or Hughsnet satellite. No other options.
I dunno...Probably Doby. I think he complained more (like all us old pharts seem to do).
Sorry I didn't stay on here long enough to answer this last night, but the keyboard was going blurry on me and I decided my pillow needed some serious attention, and a couple of my cats decided they needed some too, so we all cuddled up and made Zzzzzzs together.

Anyhooo... we still have you all summer? And no doubt you'll have to get a brand new e-mail after you throw off the Alaskan robes and become a full time Hula mrs., but don't forget us.
Ah well, probably get less rain on yer heads in Septober than Novulger.
OK, I'm back. Did I miss anything?

Hey, where the hell is Dale? Did he eat so damn much in Vegas that they put him in ICU?
I should be missing several others. Last couple days it has been me and you and Cromwell. Where the heck is Jimi and everyone else?
I sometimes think of the good old days... but now, how can I talk about exciting things like racing cars or motorcycles or 4-wheeling a dangerous trail or skiing a diamond run when I haven't done any of that stuff for 15-20 (or more) years? I work a hobby farm (or should I call it a hobble farm?) and all I can do is bitch about cow shit and nasty weather. What's worth reading about that crap? Sigh....
