15 days. That’s how long we haven’t had any phone nor internet service.
In this day and age, you would think this would be unheard of.
That’s half a month!

So we got our phone turned on yesterday,
and the internet today.

Apparently, someone in that company
didn’t understand the procedure of moving a service
and processed a new connection instead.

To remedy this problem, I had to talk to “9” people,
and spent almost 4 hours on the phone.

There has to be a better system than that!

Oh well,
I guess I can’t complain.
Since someone in our neighborhood has an unsecure wi-fi,
with his SID on major broadcast.

Yup, I used his connection,
but only to do certain “important” things.

Nope, I did not take advantage of it.
I wouldn’t want it to happen to me.
(Plus I’m a nice guy,
and I was only getting a 47% signal quality anyways.
Not good for long downloads.)

So anyway,
the moral of the story is?

Make sure that your Wi-fi is secure
and when you move your phone and internet service,
it would be easier if you just cancel your subscription
and order a new one instead.

Stupid hurricane.

Happy 2nd birthday to you my son.
You have taught me so much about who I really am.

Your Mother and I love you very much.

Now.
Let the terrible two’s begin!

Holy Crap!
That Jeanne was truly frightening.

I have experienced the fearsome four,
Bonnie, Charley, Frances and Ivan,
But this Jeanne hit us the most.

I have never heard such menacing, howling winds my whole life.
I can actually hear our windows and walls grunt and rumble.
It was scary.

Most people in our area are still without power,
and widespread flooding is still a problem.

With such an extraordinary season that we are experiencing here down south,
I must admit that I have learned a lot about these deadly hurricanes.

And so, as a concerned member of society,
I feel that I should share with you this “Hurricane Info” that I have researched,
just to be of service to everyone.
(To anyone who reads this crap, at least.)

I now bring you,

Hurricanes 101

1. How are hurricane’s names selected?

— A list that originated from the National Hurricane Center
and is now maintained with the Internatio…..
Well actually,
Hurricanes don’t really care what name you call them.

2. What wind speeds correspond to hurricane strength categories?

a. Category 1 == 74 – 95 mph
b. Category 2 == 96 – 110 mph
c. Category 3 == 111 – 130 mph
d. Category 4 == 131 – 155 mph
e. Category 5 == 155 – Holy Shiiiiiii

3. How do forecasters know a hurricane is coming?

— It’s either they have really, really good binoculars,
or hurricanes always leave a forwarding address.
But I think the hurricanes just love the beach.

4. What is the first thing you should do
if a hurricane is confirmed to be heading in your direction?

— Check your supplies for the big hurricane party,
and then begin drawing plans for the new house you will be building.

5. What should you do first after a hurricane passes?

— Determine if your computer is operational,
then see if your spouse, kids and pets are around,
then get back to your computer.

And lastly,
6. How can you protect your house in the event of a hurricane?

— With Duct Tape. No further questions.

Okay, okay!
Maybe they weren’t the best answers.
But one thing is for sure.

My computer is still working. Haha!

Anyway,
here are some cool links if you have read this far.

****************************
On a side note:
We will be moving to our new house, (which is still standing, Thank God.)
So, I might not be able to update for a while.
The DSL people told me that the transfer of service might be delayed
because of the hurricanes.

Stupid Storm.

*Sighs*
God I hate Mondays.

Today,
Tracy and I are officially,

“HomeOwners.”

Damn right!
We did our closing today,
and we shall be moving into the new house
on the 1st of next month.

Praise God.
We are truly blessed.

We have not even been here a year,
and we have accomplished so much.

Tracy’s new job,
getting married to each other,
1 new car,
a new home,
and (3) (4) 5 deadly hurricanes.

Hurricane Jeanne is making landfall tomorrow.

Hah!
No matter.
I will not let these storms ruin my joy!
I have no time to worry and be stressed.

Now if you would excuse me,
I need to go and get us some food before Armageddon starts.

Stupid Storm.

After Ivan,
there’s Jeanne,
and possibly Karl?

I can’t handle anymore crisis.
My schedule is full.

But I have time for one joke,

“What did the hurricane say to the coconut tree?”

“Hold on to your nuts!”

Hahahhahhahahaaaaaaa!!!!

Weather Stress does things to your brain.

Stupid Weather.

Stupid Florida Hurricane.

Okay, let’s look at my new checklist:

1. Hurricane Bonie (check)
2. Hurricane Charley (check)
3. Hurricane Frances (check)
4. Hurricane Ivan (bring it on!)

I think we’ll just leave our windows boarded
for the rest of the year.

Stupid weather.

Oh well,
at least Canada is “kicking ass” in the
World Cup of Hockey.
