Odds and Ends

OK so it's 2011 and so far I've seen wind and rain. When does the fun start? My brother in law tried to call at 1 am. He's either not that bright or he wanted to begin the New Year on my bad side. I just love the phone waking me in the middle of the night when there isn't anything wrong. I'm wondering where the "Jetsons" and "One Tree Hill" went on my "On Demand" menu.

The new bill will be $72.95 before taxes with the $15 discount that runs through July. That's more than the special that I have now but the end bill will be less than this end bill. The regular bill before taxes on these is $87.95 a month. There went the money saved on pest control. I'm going to check into prepaid Internet and eventually cut the cable off as soon as I find the shows I want to watch online and on DVD. I'm looking for pre-paid Internet because while I work from home my time online has been reduced as I write more and more offline. I spend a couple hours a day online which isn't bad.
