Wow, sure has been a while since I’ve written here. Sorry bout that! The past near-month-long posting drought is proudly brought to you by: my birthday, Beth’s graduation, family visits, moving Beth into a new house and most recently, putting together a whole slew of wedding invitations. (thanks again SO much to all who lent a hand!) I’ll probably get around to talking about the new house some day, but for now suffice to say that it’s a cozy little house on Main street and we’re loving it! Of course, along with new rentals comes the fun of getting utilities & such set up, which brings me to Comcast. We decided basic cable was enough for now and as I was talking to the sales rep the following exchange took place:

M: I want to sign up for basic cable.
C: Great, our basic cable has 130 channels… and is $56 a month.
M: $56?! Don’t you have anything cheaper?
C: No, sir.
M: I was looking around online and saw a package for around $15 a month. What about that, how many channels does it have?
C: May I have your address? …collects contact info, etc…
C: Yes, we do offer that in your area, you’ll get 26 channels.
M: Great! That’s what I want.
C: Don’t you even like to watch TV??
M: Actually no, I just don’t have an antenna, so I can’t go that route.

Ha! I wasn’t really impressed by the whole run-around with trying to stick me on a more expensive plan, but asking if I like to watch TV? lol! Luckily I was in a good mood and could laugh it off. Good ‘ol crazy marketing tactics. Now we have 26 wonderful channels of TV

Alright, I’m gonna run, but in case you want something else to do check out the new photos I just put up. I’m making good use of the scanner I got for my birthday!
