i already have a complaint in with the FCC about it. it will take up to 30 days for investigation, then after investigation it MAY go to enforcement, but i will never get a personal phone call about the issue, only fcc slap a fine on the company.

trying to find the numbers that i need to call for the president. and my calls are being humg up on. not a happy camper.

and its my internet provider. outage in all of indiana, and most of illinois. they dont know how long it will take to fix, its after 5pm so any calls are routed to the after hours self help desk. my internet died while i was in the middle of a call with the president of old cell company and i didnt give him a call back number before i was dropped from the call. anyone have some bourbon they can share?

*edit
want to see FB page of my company?
https://www.facebook.com/NewWaveCommunications?filter=2

they HIDE any negative comments after giving you a day to see it. unless its a positive comment (i love your service, please thank so and so, ect) they hide it so they look better. grr. leave all of the comments there. id rather see the good and the bad and see how you deal with issues than only see good things if i were looking for a new internet company.

We are home and I am bushed! I'm thinking soup and sandwiches for supper because I am NOT cooking. Still no comma key.

Have a good evening!

Soup and sandwiches sounds like a good option for dinner.

I would consider the semi-colon key. I think it has more personality and adds a little panache to a statement. Commas can be so boring sometimes.

How can this be? I have been smoke free for 90 days. Whoopee!!!! :banana:

Grats on 90 days FQ! :banana: :rickroll: :banana:

any on to todays news. old cell company does not want to release my phone number to new carrier, after forcing me to get a new carrier by dropping coverage in my area. i have a press release from ceo of company saying they will port your number to any carrier, and a dozen recorded calls of customer service reps who say they will only release to att, verizon or sprint.
now to find the CEO's phone number. if i need to get him home and cell number i will.. but i dont want to have to go THAT far, just want my number transfered because of all the medical information tied to the number.

You would probably get somewhere faster by contacting one of your local television news station. They love to do consumer stories and usually get results very quick once they're on TV, or facing the threat of being on TV. :)

still unsure whether its google servers or my internet. goin to reset my connection here in a minute once i shut off all the computers.

I know you have your answer now, but in the future Down For Everyone Or Just Me -> Check if your website is down or up? is handy.

Locally their have been a lot of negative things here regarding vaping. A major college just banned all e-cig use on campus, and a couple cities banned tobacco use on city property and they are including e-cigs as a tobacco product. The local news stations are citing that ecigs could be dangerous (but they strongly infer that e-cigs ARE dangerous) citing a "recent report from the CDC."

I'll say it again, I can't wait to move to probably the most tobacco friendly place in the country. :)

Hello ecf family! How is everyone? Just wanted to check in and share some news...... We have a local vaping shop in my town now! Woohoo! They are small at the moment but they are expanding & off to a great start, just opened this weekend & I got to stop in today. They have a tasting bar to sample favors, right now just carrying virgin vapors & halo juices but looking to start carrying more. Hardware is halo, which I love, & some basic ego kits, igo batteries & an assortment of clearomizers. It's 2 girls & they are very knowledgable. I spent a half hour just hanging out there and chatting, it was so cool! I am so excited to have a great local place for me & excited for them too, so far they've had an amazing turn out for only being open a couple of days.
Everything else is going good, normal craziness with all the kids, I'm working on getting a referral to a more natural/homeopathic doctor & the route I'm taking it's looking like it will all be covered by insurance, yay. I'm hoping sometime in the next year for less fibro pain. I know it's a process but I'm so tired of it all. I hope you all are doing wonderful & for those who aren't I'm sending some extra hugs your way! Much love to you all!

Thanks, i use that site, but the shorter version isup.me :p and i wasnt sure if it was a bad routing or google server issue. i (like to think) i work in IT (since im technically unemployed, but have trained to work and did work for Comcast for a while.. then had to leave job due to internet issues that i worked on for comcast...) so im fairly competent in what i do. im atleast better than the people who answer the phones for my ISP. in my 250+ "trouble" calls in the last year, only around 50 were with people who tld me exactly what the problem was, the rest said we dont know what the issue is, and try again tomorrow.

currently playing with new phone and rooting it.. and i already messed up and forgot to update phone to latest version before rooting (i like using the latest version before i break updating..) and now im stuck 3 versions behind and cannot find the files i need for my carrier. lets hope that i can convince support to send me the files i need..

Great news. Hope the homeopathic path works for you. And how great is that to have a vape shop right in town. And one that carries some decent liquids and not rebranded cheap stuff. Good for you. Have a wonderful weekend.
