Well, my TV is finally back. God bless the one woman at Verizon who has been helping me since yesterday morning. She's been calling me on my cell phone giving me updates. THAT is the type of customer service I've always experienced from Verizon until this crapstorm. Meanwhile, I've got about two inches on the ground already (maybe even an inch more) and a 3-1/2 foot long icicle hanging from my front bay window.

Second storm has arrived.

Was on the phone with them for nearly 85 minutes yesterday. This morning, 60 minutes. I'm told my service will be restored "some time today". I'll believe it when I see it. I'm totally defeated. I have no more fight in me.

1. Don't touch my mama. 2. Don't touch my Doritos.

The University closed today which I'm really surprised they did. I can get out now, after shoveling for a total of 8 hours Saturday and Sunday, but my road is one long sheet of ice. Yikes!

On the Internet. Someone posted a live feed. LOL. I'll deal with Verizon tomorrow.

lol.

No poop! What's going on? If you work in DC we should definitely get lunch or something. No reason not to. Just don't wear that black and gold crap!

I told Force that you were on Bourbon street getting drunk. He said no, you're in your dorm room getting drunk. Your post suggests that you are in your dorm room sober as ever correcting the board's crazy man.

The service at my house is in my sister's name. She's moving into her own place so I'm switching the entire SAME service from her name to my name. No biggie, right? Called them up on January 27th, told them what I needed. They ran the standard check, treating it like an entirely new account (why? I don't know.) Operator said I'm all straight; service is in my name. I get an email from Verizon saying that the installation for my service is scheduled for February 2nd. Install? What install? I don't need an install. I have all the boxes and everything is hooked up. I call them. Ask them, WTF? Well, they have to come out and take the boxes and replace them with new ones so they are in my name. Why can't they just change it in the computer? They know the serial numbers? And what about my DVR? That has two years worth of stuff on it. You can keep the DVR, they tell me. Then why can't I keep the other boxes? Blah blah blah. Bullshit, bullshit, bullshit answers. I tell them I will not be here on February 2nd and they need to change the install date. How about the next day, they say. Sometime between 8 am and 5 pm. No, it needs to be on the weekend. I'm not taking off of work for you to come out and replace something you don't really have to. OK, they tell. Saturday, February 6th between 8 am and 12 pm. Fine. January 30th comes around and they cut my phone off. I call them. Why is my phone off? Because you have an order in to do an install. The install isn't for another week. Turn the phone back on. Well, we have to turn the line off before the install in order for you to keep the same number. THE INSTALL ISN'T FOR ANOTHER WEEK! I HAVE NO CELL SERVICE IN MY HOUSE SO TURN MY FREAKING PHONE BACK ON! We need to transfer you. Why is my phone off? We need to transfer you again. Finally got the phone turned back on. Oh yeah, this was done remotely without anyone coming to my house. Thursday night I have a message from Verizon saying my install needs to be rescheduled because of the snow storm that is coming, please call them. I call them the next day (yesterday). Hi! I got a message saying I need to reschedule my install because of the weather. We need to transfer you. Hi! I got a message saying I need to reschedule my install because of the weather. OK, we need to transfer you again. Hi! I got a message saying I need to reschedule my install because of the weather. OK, we need to transfer you again again. Hi! I got a message saying I need to reschedule my install because of the weather. OK, we need to transfer you again again again. I NEED TO RESCHEDULE MY FREAKING INSTALLATION DATE AND IF YOU TRANSFER ME AGAIN, I WILL CUSS OUT THE NEXT PERSON WHO ANSWERS! The next available date is Saturday the 27th. Fine, what do I have to do to make sure my phone, TV and Internet isn't disconnected tomorrow as scheduled. I can go ahead and change that for you. Great, because you guys f'ed up the last time and I need my phone and TV this weekend, especially with the snowstorm coming. Oh, I understand. We're on the Eastern Shore so we're expecting it. You're all set. Your installation has been rescheduled for the 27th and I've moved your disconnect to the day before on the 26th. Great, thank you. I wake up at 7 am to NO TV and NO Phone. Somehow, thank God, I have Internet. I call Verizon at 8 am when they open and I get transfered twice where I'm told that nothing can be done because it has to be done locally and they won't be back until Monday, at the earliest. Asswipes. So, I'm not going to have phone or TV for the next three days because you Aholes didn't do your job? Yes, ma'am. Thanks, I'll be going to CONcast. Click. For shits and giggles, I'm about to call them again.

Dish also doesn't have on-demand, which is how I watch most of my movies and cable series.

TV? What the hell is TV? Verizon cut my service off this morning because they suck butt and are completely inept. I'll be missing the Super Bowl tomorrow. Oh yeah, I have no phone service either and get zero cell coverage in my house. By the grace of God do I have Internet. You all know how much I hate CONcast. But I'm going to have to go back to them. God help me.

It's snowing in Baltimore! Dang, I beat Max AGAIN!?

The Susan Finklestein reference was worst.

I saw that and agree.

Which contradicts the people that were there shouting that he didn't do anything wrong.

Yeah, MGS cut scenes keep getting more and more ridiculous in length. I liked it at first with MGS1, but then as you progress, it is the same message over and over. Ugh. I bought a used Wii this past weekend and it came with one shoot 'em up game. Can't remember the name right now though.

Oh snap! I can listen to Baltimore sports radio again! Can you feel a brand new day?! PS: LMAO @ the subtitle of this topic.

No disrespect taken. I don't believe they aren't mutually exclusive, but there are degrees and in the past, the Ravens (the most vocal of them) showed an unbearable amount of undesirable (at least for me) attitude.

I know people will disagree, but I'm not one of them. It is one of things that I couldn't stand about the Ravens as a team, especially the last decade. Slowly, but surely, the loud mouths of the Ravens have left. In the weeks leading up to the 2000 Superbowl, I remember thinking to myself that the Ravens had better win because they've done enough trash-talking to embarrass themselves for a lifetime if they didn't. There are a few holdouts still, but as I watched the build-up to this past weekend's games, it struck me that Ryan was probably instrumental in a lot of that attitude. Confidence is one thing, attitude quite another.

Yeah, for the most part. And that's the problem. If there are similiar games, I would be interested. It's just that most of the other shoot 'em up games, I don't really like the views they give you. I like the combination that MGS gives you. I like being able to see the character, as opposed to seeing myself "holding" the gun, ya know? And, you have to remember that I'm a girl. So I don't want anything too extreme. Not sure what else I would like though. The neck breaking vibrations on PS2's controller still gives me the creeps. LOL.

Farve on the ground Farve on the ground with his helmet turned sideways Looking like a fool with his mouthpiece out Looking like a fool with his helmet turned sideways Farve on the ground Farve on the ground throwing interceptions with his back on the ground

Not to hijack the thread, but would you say MGS4 is worth buying PS3? I've played all the other MGS but it seems like now there's only one or two per system.

How is he "the next closest thing" to Jamarcus Russell?
