Deep poem

Woman with Flower by Naomi Long Madgett.
I wouldn't coax the plant if I were you.
Such watchful nurturing may do it harm.
Let the soil rest from so much digging
And wait until it's dry before you water it.
The leaf's inclined to find its own direction;
Give it a chance to seek the sunlight for itself.

Much growth is stunted by too careful prodding,
Too eager tenderness.
The things we love we have to learn to leave alone.

Why is Comcast so......

Why do they make me so angry?
I've been having trouble with my internet speed. I've also have had trouble with lost signal on my TV.
The trouble's I'm having is mostly noticeable on Netflix streaming movies. If it was not for Netflix I'd never have known that I'm paying all this money for a service not working correctly.
I've been putting off calling Comcast because I know how past experiences have been. I started e-mailing them with what the issue was. They e-mailed me back with tests to run. None of the tests worked. So they told me to call them.
I called Netflix first instead. I spent 2 hours on the phone with this wonderful techy guy. We tried all kinds of tests. In the end he did a pathping test which showed one of Comcasts servers losing packets. This all being done hooked directly to the modem mind you. The netflix guy & I determined that the problem is on Comcasts end.
I fianlly called Comcast today. Firstly the number my E ticket gave me to call was the wrong number for my area. Second the lady that I got never asked about the problems I had been having. She went straight to turn off your computers & reboot your modem. That's it that all the "testing" she did. She says my modems working fine. I'm still having the slow speed issue. She says it must be your Router. This is Comcasts standard answer!
They never admit or will test that anything can be wrong with their servers or equipment & just keep charging more & more money. (I don't even have High Definition serve available here!)
She lastly scheduled a man to come out. (You know this will be a dude who knows nothing of computers or servers.) The last thing she said was you will be charged for this guy to come into your house to tell you your router is not working. OMFG This woman! "I told you lady It is not my router!" She never even gave a thought to the fact my TV was losing a signal too.
At the time I was talking to this lasy my test @ speedtest .com was 890kp/s & she said everything was working fine, no packet loss according to my modem. *GRRRRRRRR*


I'm done with my rant until Friday.

The Robin

I forgot to tell you all that I saw a Robin! Actually I saw 4 Robins in a field on our way home Wednesday.
The Robing says that spring is here. The weather/Mother Nature is not listening:(

Forgetfulness

How often do you go into a room, then forget what you are in the room to get? How many memo's do you write to yourself?
Have you ever forgotten your mother?
Today, for the second time, I forgot my mother. I was supposed to take her to the car dealership after work.
It was a very busy day, my mind was filled, it was Friday (woot). I was excited about getting to the gym to relieve some stress & then start the weekend. I swiped out & went directly to the gym. I got out of the car & almost to the gym door before I went Oh noes!I forgot my MOM. So I go to call her & my cell rings, she had already started walking in the coldness:( SORRY MOM!

The first time I forgot her was one morning, I was supposed to get her from the car dealership & bring her to work. That time I did not even know I'd forgotten her until 10 minutes after work had started. On top of that it was pouring rain. Someone was sent to fetch her but she had already started walking & she got that drowned rat look.

I forget things all the time & it IS getting worse with age.
What's the worse thing you have forgotten?

The Shins - Australia

The Shins - Australia Lyrics

Time to put the earphones on:
No!

Born to multiply, born to gaze into night skies,
All you want's one more Saturday.
But look here, until then
They're gonna buy your nice time
So keep your wick in the air and your feet in the fetters
To the day.
You come in doing cartwheels
We all go out by ourselves
And your shape on the dance floor
Will have me thinking such filth and gauge my eyes.

You'd be damned to be one of us girl
Faced with a dodo's conundrum
Ah, I felt like I could just fly
But nothing'll happen every time I try.

A dual tone under wall
Selfish fool and hoped you'd save us all
Never dreamt of such sterile hands,
You keep them folded in your lap,
And raise them up to beg for scraps,
You know, he's holding you down,
With the tips of his fingers just the same,
You'll be pulled from the ocean,
But just a minute too late,
Or changed by a potion,
We'll find a handsome young mate,
For you to love.

You'll be damned to pining through the windowpanes,
You know you'll change your life for any ordinary Joe,
And though your night will go on,
Your nightmares only need a year or two to unfold.

Been in love since you were twenty-one,
You haven't laughed since January,
You try and make this up this is so much fun,
But we know it to be quite contrary.

Dare to be one of us, girl,
Facing the Andrum's conundrum,
Ah, I feel like I should just cry,
But nothing happens every time I take one on the chin,
You're humoring your cote,
You don't know how long I've been,
Watching the lantern dim,
Starved of oxygen,
So give me your hand,
And let's jump out the window.

Another book down......

Duma Key by Stephen King.

I throughly enjoyed it. King is my favorite author. He is by far the easiest read.
He even had me screaming at the characters in spots.
