Shame, Shame
Everybody knows your name.
Well the good folks at SBC decided my building didn't need phone or DSL service yesterday...and the good people who run the spamblocking software on my main email accounts apparently decided to tweak the product so that every-fucking-thing is now apparently regarded as a solicitation for enhancing your penile grandeur, seriously debilitating my handheld (to which I have my main accounts forwarded) as a means of contacting the outside world. So off the grid I go. And I still am as of this A.M.; typing this only because a friendly stranger saw me sleeping under the digital viaduct under the Bridge to the 21st Century and offered me some bandwidth.
He offered me a ride in his van too...to wherever I want to go.
Not to worry; I know I can trust this guy. It smells kinda funny -- like old, wet pennies -- but his van is positively festooned with "Bush/Cheney 2008" and "Jebus is Coming and you're all gonna Burn" bumper stickers so I know he's a good Christian. And I know I'll be perfectly safe because he has lots of guns and machetes and flensing knives and such hanging up in the back in case we're attacked by heathens and run out of cheeks to turn.
They make a pretty, wind-chimey sounds as we jounce along down this empty, country road.
I'm hugely pissed at SBC, and was showering and such this A.M. under a dark cloud (And if you think that's not tricky -- showering under a dark cloud -- you try it.) until I turned on the only wireless device in Castle Driftglass that is functioning -- my radio -- and heard of the hurricane and the devastation that it has left in its wake.
Followed closely by a reminder by Springer on Air America that more than two years after the invasion, millions of Iraqis are still without electricity, clean water, security, and basic sanitation.
So I put Dylan on the CD player and got over myself.

Love your site - have dded it to my favs -- hope your connections back soon
What with this being the very firstest site I hit on the Internets in the AM, I got all sweaty and panicky when there wasn't a shiny new post for me to roll around in this morning. So happy to hear it was just a small detour on the Information Superhighway.
Wet pennies... Wind chimey. Some writers can make their words sing. Yours do arias. Stay healthy - this site is like crack - one toke and that's it - you're hooked.
"Dittos" to the comments above :) You rock, drifty.
I lost (was robbed of) internet/e-mail for two days this week and really needed this reality check. Thanks Driftglass! BTW... BellSouth remains evil despite my attempts to understand and forgive. Must look elsewhere...
SBC IS Evil, and they're from Texas, which makes them Double Evil. Now they're merging with AT&T, which used to define evil along with IT&T. (Whatever happened to the latter, anyway, once they finished killing Allende in Chile?)
It's why free/cheap municipal internet and cable service is the only way to go to make things any better. There's a movement afoot in San Francisco to do just that, though it will probably be years before it happens since there are so many vested interests here making money off the peasants and their communication devices. It's time you got involved in Chicago in the very same movement. The kids coming along will probably be the leaders, and thank God. We need some of their Parsifal energy and they are looking for a bit of wisdom. That's where you come in.

Snort. Typical liberal. Identifying the problem without calling attention to the cause.
The *real* reason that Iraqis remain without electricity has been withheld from you. But it's my understanding that, just as the Halliburton engineers at the master distribution station were triumphantly ready to throw the switch and restore 24-by-7 power to all of Iraq, Bill Clinton's penis floated in over the transom like an apparitional pink Zeppelin, and shorted across the main bus bar in a shower of sparks.
But will you hear THAT on the evening news? You will not, thereby proving that Bernie Goldberg was right.

No Driftglass this morning made me sad.
But I've always found regular getting over myself to be highly useful spiritual exercise.
Y'all will make a man blush :-)
mac,
I just sniff around on Yahoo and (sometimes Google...) Images for stuff that fits the mood and that is not, as far as I can tell, copywritten or violates any ideas of fair use.
A few I snap myself; you can usually tell those by the thumb eclipsing the important bits.
Never had a problem with Southern Bell, although it's been many years since I dealt with them. SBC, on the other hand, I grew up with, and they've always been trouble. In fact my mom bought stock on the rationale of "if they treat their customers this bad they must be making money hand over fist."
sfmike has me wondering how AT&T can even legally merge with SBC given the 1982 divestiture settlement. But the old Standard Oil companies have been doing it for years.
Bernie Goldberg is a phallic worshipper.

Have you ever been working on your homework from school or just been there working on a project that HAS got to be done and you drift off and start surfing the web about weird things like Page hosting. That is exactly what happened to me today. And so I had to come here and write about it and tell you about where I was led to. First, it really gave me a bunch of options and even some reviews.

I got so frustrated today when I was trying to find a really great site about Host to host bridge. In fact, I was so frustrated, I got into a fight with my girlfriend over something totally unrealted. And the fact that I could not find a site that would give me relevant information. Just short of breaking up with my girlfriend, I found it, you know, the site with the perfect information that I was looking for in the first place. And quite simply, it saved me from breaking up with my g-friend. Phew! Close call there.

Hello ##NAME##, with all the information on work at home jobs I became very overwhelmed. Anyway, I was online doing a specific search for the most current information on work at home jobs and somehow I ended up on your site. ##NAME## to be frank, ##TITLE## wasn't not the exact match to what I was looking for, but boy am I glad I'm here. You've certainly managed to grab me attention and peak my interest. I must say this is a great blog and I'm most certainly happy that I stopped by eventhough it wasn't the work at home jobs related information I was looking for. Thanks. Keep up the good work.
