I have been working on MySpace.com today. It still feels like a strange process to me to ask someone to "be your friend." I am amazed at how many friends some of the musical groups have on this site. They must spend all their time requesting that others be their friends. That, or someone is requesting it for them. Either way, it is a time consuming process so some people must do nothing but this.
Nothing much to write about today - much of it spent at the oral surgeon's office and finishing up some things for the organization for which I do volunteer work. The oral surgeon's report was mildly hopeful; I am beginning to have some tingling where the nerve damage from the teeth extraction is. Hopefully that means the nerve is rejuvenating itself. I left Doogan in the crate again today while I was gone - for about 2 hours - and for the second time in a row, he was a perfect angel! Thank goodness maybe we are past the worse part of the separation anxiety. He still cries when I leave, but if crying is all he does, (although it makes me feel really terrible to leave him) I guess we can live with that. I hope that part, too, will end as soon as he is absolutely certain I am coming back!
I suppose there is no such thing as truth in advertising anymore - at least for some companies. I went through hell a few months ago changing to Earthlink's TruVoice system. No one I talked to knew what they were talking about; I was passed from one technical support person to another and told something different by each person I spoke to. They had lied about the cost of the services I was supposed to be receiving - - left out the part about the Internet access, that was supposedly included, being extra. The reception was horrible; everyone I have talked to since having this service has complained about noise on the line, inability to hear what I'm saying, etc. Finally, I had had enough and have arranged to change phone and Internet service. When I called to cancel Earthlink, they had the nerve to tell me there would be a $100 plus charge for the disconnection fee! They claimed I signed a contract for one year, which it has not been; no one even mentioned a one year time period - I would have thought they were talking about how long it was going to take to get it set up and working, if they had! I haven't signed anything for them and I'm not about to pay a disconnection fee. How do companies get by with such things??
I have talked about my phone and Internet access problems before but don't believe I have indicated the company to which I was referring. Well, I am now...................Earthlink and Earthlink TruVoice service. Take the advice of one with experience - a horrible experience - you don't want to sign up with them!! Two cans and a string would work about as well as their phone service!
