Sarilas' O-fficial Pre-Trip Report (a.k.a. Vacation, Take TWO!) - Jan. 30-Feb. 8, '09

Ah, so the only way for a Lapuette to get a tag now would be to time travel back to the pre-Lapuette days, hunt 'er down, and say something clever. Normally I'd get cracking on my time machine right away, but who wants to travel back to pre-Lapuette days?

Certainly not this LapuLapuette.


Great new phone Lara!

 

[Sarilas]

Thanks, all! I can't believe the learning curve associated with this thing! I'm STILL figuring stuff out! LOL

 

[Sarilas]

Today is day 180 till our trip to Disney World! Our FIRST trip! It's so exciting to be taking the whole family... the last Disney trip we had was just Kyle, Tatiana and myself at Disneyland in 2004, right before I married my DH... it seems like a lifetime ago!

Okay, I should be able to be online more regularly now; we've had HughesNet satellite internet for ages, and while it's a good option for those who truly can't get any other internet service, we're finally able to get Comcast cable and today they came out and hooked us up! The speeds are so much better, AND, the big clincher... if you downloaded over some magical speed number with HughesNet they would penalize you with this "Fair Access" policy thing meaning they'd drop our speed down to almost nothing (much less than dial up) to punish you. So, for instance, if my computer automatically downloads updates AND I try to download a podcast at the same time, I'd be punished. It's ludicrous! But now I'm downloading and singing "neener, needer, NEENER" to my heart's content.

Comcast is what we have here at the house. It's one of my bestest friends in the whole world!

We have Comcast too.

I hope all you Comcasters get better customer service than what I had in Chicago and better than what's out here! (I'm on Qwest high-speed DSL that used to be faster than cable before all the upgrades.) I had very, very bad experiences with the Comcast customer service in Chicago. Haven't used them here, but while I've had issues with Qwest, too, they're still more highly rated than Comcast.

DirecTV, by contrast, has been wonderful. Too bad I can't use them for all my issues.

Congrats on better service with Comcast.
No Comcast here in Gotham. We have TimeWarner.

 

[Sarilas]

HughesNet was contracted to India... very nice people but not the best for solving a dilemma when you can't understand one another!

I have a hook-up in the Comcast customer service game...

January Hours are up! January hours are up!

I still can't find the EMH, but the hours themselves EXIST. It's a start!

 

[Charleston Princess]

It's about time! Only took them three weeks to do it! But they are up and that is definitely worth celebrating!

Shoot, I wasn't worried at all. I was just chillin', waiting patiently and idly by for someone to GET OFF THEIR BUTT AND POST THE DANG HOURS!

I don't think they're finished with what their doing though. Only Sunday's and Thursdays are listed for EMH - and historically speaking (thanks Jackie for suggesting I look it up on Intercot.com!) those are Magic Kingdom's EMH dates. Late Sundays, Early Thursdays. So I can go with that till the other park EMH's are happily released and I can GET SOME SCHEDULING DONE!

But I'm not anxious. Cooooooool as a cucumber.

I don't believe you for a second! But, like you said, you can get some scheduling done!

 

[willwriteforears]

Yay! At least you have a base to start with, even if EMH isn't listed yet.

WOO HOO!!!!​

...........finally.​
