De ear me said the one facing the sword of two edges ... and Peter Ustinov wrote a novel based on Dear Me ... thus we haven't heard the end of it!
 
Neighbours let me know I had a visitor eating breakfast in my garden this morning - I ended up freaking her out when I snuck around the house so hopefully she's okay - she should be on the path!

Telus out and hooked up my TV - I don't get Global Calgary in my basic package as we're just a bit too far north so default to Edmonton :P Now I'll have to see about cancelling Shaw...there are days that being a responsible adult is not fun
 
I was told when I signed up last week that Telus would cancel but the guy today said I have to do it :P so I phoned Shaw and told them I was cancelling as mom passed away (which is true but not the whole story) and the gal was very helpful :) (I'd stay with them but they cost way too much and over the past year has increased the bill by $5 every 3 or 4 months for no reason)...Telus also told me that I would have to return the Shaw equipment but the gal said I didn't as it was paid for and thus we own it so now I need to figure out what to do with it!!!!

I still have a Bell satellite receiver/PVR in the basement from when I cut the cord. Probably will never use it again since if we get TV again it will likely be either Fibe or the Internet-based offering from our ISP.

I usually take stuff to work and sneak it in with the company's electronic junk when my team takes a load to recycling.:cool:

The community 15 minutes to the north usually has an electronics roundup in the fall but they haven't for the past 2 years...I have an old electric typewriter that won't type that needs to go too...kept the manual one as it always works ;)

I think we finally got rid of Mom's old typewriter. No need for it. Even if we had it, I doubt my fingers could handle a manual anymore (arthritis in the knuckles).

Yeah, Mom's wasn't quite that old. It was a nice portable that she must have picked up in, perhaps, the sixties or seventies. I used it to practice when I was learning typing in grade 9 and then for typing up some of my school papers until I got my first PC (a Commodore C64 c. 1983).

I used mom's manual, or the electric, until the church got it's first computer in 1994 and I was allowed to type my university essays on it in exchange for typing the church newsletters and bulletins up
