Alice's teeth are growing! She is getting buddies for her fang. One of her two front teeth is totally visible, and the second is making an appearance. That means people other than me can know they are present! Sweet. She also looks less like a vampire. Sad (*_*) I liked my little monster child. (Even though the very strange order of teeth appearing was a little alarming)
I also had a really strange dream involving dead people/bodies, some really strange tv studio thingy, getting felt up by some creepy guy, and leavign some Alice poopy in my pants. You know, just a regular day in the life of me! The general idea was that the bishop wanted people to try out for this commercial about how amazing lawrence is...it was gonna be a nationwide thing (cause that makes sense you know) And so there were all sorts of church people there, though most of the exact names elude me. But that recording studio that was housed in the strip mall by Dillons on Mass was full of bedrooms with bodies (that of course I knew were dead). PLus really creepy killing children. I think they were zombies. Thats the best explaination.
I can't decide if I should blame the AMAZING curry I ate last night, or the fact that I went back to sleep after Daniel left. Or the fact that he noticed we didn't shut our front door and it was open when he went downstairs this morning. All of those things could be contributing factors. Oh, and FYI as long as I was with other church people I was safe. Yay for the power of church people!
Now, the phone wasn't having problems. It was the internet. Right now I am of the opinion that Lawrence Freenet isn't popular cause its slow enough that if you try to open gmail you have to load the basic view...and the signal is so weak that if you open an attachment, plan on it taking forever to load/download and it might reboot the little $120 pepwave wifi reciever. Then you will never actually get to open that pdf file until you get frustrated and plug the ATT modem back in. Pshaw.
We are hooked back up to our el cheapo ATT dsl. It might not be all that fast, but its consistantly slow, and consistantly on. I can catch up on my House that way. (We watched some crazy dude take over the clinic with a gun last night. And, yes we saw the whole thing. Thank you ATT for your consistantly slow internet.) You see, we don't watch much TV, cause why pay for TV when you are poor, but some shows we like. And now that Stylista is over and there is no project runway or america's next top model I have to move onto shows daniel like. Our next show will be Bones. We are sad that FOX moved them from both being on i na row, on the same night, to No one knows when they are on. But hey, I can handle watching the episodes 8 days after they air. I am a fan, but no fanatic. Unlike with Everyday Food Storage. I am a fanatic of that. I am such a fanatic that I am working on posting myself 101 goals in 1001 days...and I know at least a few will be for food storage. (Maybe I shouldn't post that cause now I will have to follow through).
Oh well, off to write my 10 page double spaced ward project paper! I mean, ward history. Yeah. Fun times.
Naturally, we haven't quite returned the hardware and got our refund. I mean, we have 30 days to do that, and the people are sending someone to check on the WiFi thingy they have on the corner. But, if its still obscenely slow Monday night, we will be trying to return it before Christmas.

Sam made me Mad!
So, we canceled our service with Sam* yesterday. It's actually going to go through on next Friday. We did it because he was giving us ridiculous charges. I mean, why would he want us to give him like 33 cents a minute for long distance calling? If you go to Sam's website there isn't even such a plan there. The only plan he has is 12 cents a minute, atleast the only one that doesn't cost anything... So... since Sam's hours of operation aren't very good we couldn't call him, so we had to trust his website that was full of lies.
So basically, Sam charged us for like 110 minutes of long distance at about 33.2 cents a minute when we were expecting it to be 12 cents a minute. I guarantee that is not what they told us it would cost when I last talked to him either but whatever. And yeah... when I went and talked to him on the phone about it, he acted like I was stupid. He said "Well, that plan is only available on the internet, and since you already have the phone you can't have it. Now if you'd had a plan you wouldn't of been charged so much." Rebecca even told him that we could probably have called from a pay phone for less and HE AGREED!!! Sam is a jerk. I told him to cancel my phone service.
So for all of you that care, as of Friday our phone number 785 331 2788 will be disconnected and anyone wanting to call us will have to call our other number that I have forgotten but we can let you know if you harass us or whatever. And we'll make sure to post eventually. I apologize to those whose phone service claims we don't have a phone, but we do. If you can't call us but need to talk you can resort to e-mail and have us call you... Sorry, but Sam made us mad so we had to cancel.
*All references to Sam should actually be referring to AT&T. This was done just to mess with Sam

5am Rants for $15
Its hot. Hot enough that I woke up and couldn't sleep until I got a drink of water. That was over 30 minutes ago.
When I got downstairs the light from the computer that was left on beckoned me. Come, see the world.
OK, not really, but I figured I would pay our phone bill and see if we had any moeny to pay it with. I.e. Daniel who has been told he deserves a raise since January is actually expecting one. Now I checked with the bank, and I can't even tell if he got the raise or not. It seems to be more that the last few checks, but he might have done more OT. Well, expect an update on that.
Anyway.
Back to why I blog.
The phone bill.
It was $72. No, seriously, thats like almsot twice our typical cost.
So I began the whole, what the heck is my username and password to actually get the bill. I usually get the total from the email and pay them through bill pay, no need to look at the bill when its the same within $1 every month, right?
So I admit, I am partly at fault. You see, Rachel came home from her mission. I like Rachel. Call it good times/family bondage/memories. So yes, I racked up $20 worth of long distance in a month. ONe phone call was almsot $10. Thats pretty impressive actually.
But there was this other charge...for streaming radio??? What the heck. I googled "OAN Services Inc" because the bill lists them way after all the regular phone bill stuff. Its some third party company that seems to have been signed up for everyone with AT&T home service. Um, for real now thats fraudulent. I can also expect them to read off my name, phone number and address and email address as if I had set up the service myself. (well technically Daniel as his name is on the bill) I am not even that angry, but I do sort of want to call them myself and get angry. Its just too strange.
ok, its 5:15 and I am out.
