Alright it’s called facebook. I repeat FACEbook. I enjoy this site but the number of members without a FACE is unbelievable. To find to see if someone has an account with FACEbook. You type in a name and voila if they have an account you got em. Now sometimes not having a face isn’t the end of the world but I know a John Smith. Alright again it’s called …FACEbook

Best Sit Down for This One।

Today for the first time in many years I attended Church Excuses are many and varied, but today I went. I was invited by my friends Rolanda and Gordon. The service was held at Calvary Baptist Church in Chateauguay. It was about a twenty minute drive from my home and I was waiting in the Church parking lot when Rolanda and Gord pulled in.
The order of service was much the same as other Baptist churches I attended before but still very very nice, The people were friendly and kind and the preacher was not long winded, with the sermon based on a portion Mark chapter 6 I believe. At one point in the service one of the parishioners stood up to explain she had had a traffic accident and had bump into one of the other church members who was on driving his bicycle , but he was sitting beside her and felt ok. The pastor took time to lead the congregation in a moment of prayer for both.
The only thing that surprised me was that they didn’t sing any Hymns I knew, or perhaps they knew I was there.
So I was in Church and the roof didn’t cave in, the earth didn’t open up and swallow small children, however from the last few days of rain, I believe I saw the animals lining up two by two.
Thanks again Ro & Gord, who after church had be back to their home for a great Bar Bq complete with water melon, potato chips and ice tea.

Where the Heck R Ya ?????

The teacher of the school geography class was lecturing on map reading.

After explaining about latitude, longitude, degrees and minutes the teacher asked, "Suppose I asked you to meet me for lunch at 23 degrees, 4 minutes north latitude and 45 degrees, 15 minutes east longitude?"

After a confused silence, little Johnny volunteered, "I guess you'd be eating alone!"

Now What do I Do...........part deux (thats 2 for you English folk)

Well it turns out (see previous blog)
that there were 30,000 Bell Sympatico customers affected by the outage. It seems there was a router problem at one of the main Bell hubs in Montreal. Of course there were no spare routers in Montreal and one had to be brought in from the center of the universe, Toronto. Service was affected for about seven hours,
What I was really surprised at was the reaction from many who found themselves with out internet connection. Knee jerk reaction had many changing parts pieces and various paraphernalia to solve “their problem” I base these finding having listened to about thirty minutes of a talk show on CJAD guest hosted by Abe Hefner.
I tried a few things but I didn’t change any pieces. I simply called customer support.
An even bigger surprise is that Bell is considering compensation to those denied service. Let’s look at that.
My Sympatico bill is pretax 39.95$ per month, that’s 1.33$ per day or 5.5 cents per hour. Base on pro rata math, being out for approximately seven hours means I can expect about a thirty cent compensation,
I really look forward to that insult.

Now What do I Do

Of course….it’s Monday.
Most times I leave my computer on 24/7 and my connection to Sympatico connected. Only when things seem to slow down do I use the magic if a restart or on the rare occasion a complete cold boot.
This morning although I was still connected to the Internet (at least I appeared to be) I was unable to retrieve my mail or contact voluminous names on my contact list.
I said to myself…..”self” just reboot and all will be fine. So that did I.
I then made numerous attempts to connect to Sympatico, but alas to no avail.
Then with great trepidation I dialed 310 surf, resigning to myself that in moments I would be chatting with one of the wonderful habitants of East India.
Imagine my surprise when I got a voice talking to me from just east of Toronto (I know, I asked) After a series of trouble shooting steps it was established that the problem must be with Bell Canada (imagine my shock & aw )
I was assured that everything possible would be done to correct the situation. I asked what areas might be effected she said possibly just those in the 514 area code, that’s one heck of an area.
So I took advantage of this time write a blog entry, Happy Monday to all of you.

What's Up Doc ?

A 92-year-old man went to the doctor to get a physical. A few days later, the doctor saw the man walking down the street with a gorgeous young lady on his arm.

At his follow up visit, the doctor said to the man, "you're really doing great, aren't you?"

The man replied, "Just doing what you said Doc. Get me a hot mamma and be cheerful."

The doctor said , "I didn't say that. I said you got a heart murmur. Be careful."

The Pill

A lady walks into the drug store and asks the druggist for some arsenic. The druggist asks "Ma'am, what do you want with arsenic?"

The lady says, "To kill my husband."

"I can't sell you any for that reason," says the druggist.

The lady then reaches into her purse and pulls out a photo to show the druggist. The photo is of a man and a woman in a compromising position, the man is her husband and the lady is the druggist's wife.

He looks at the photo and says," Oh, I didn't know you had a prescription!"

Sometimes I Can't Control Myself

A man visits doctor with apple stuck in mouth, celery stuck in each ear and a carrot stick up each nostril. He mumbles, "Doc, I'm just not feeling well."

The doctor replies, "Maybe you're not eating right."
