That post is longer and will be coming up in the next day or two. But, this caught my attention as I was reading Boston.com and cleaning up my inbox today and I thought I’d share. Personally, I’m a little disappointed they didn’t get away with it.

New England weather is notoriously unpredictable. Even with the vast improvements in technology and knowledge, no forecaster is going to be able to predict the weather with absolute certainty, especially far in advance. But when virtually all the meteorologists I read start sounding really concerned about a weather event, it might be time to start paying attention rather than poo-pooing it.
As you probably have heard by now, most of the eastern seaboard is dealing with a little storm. There are a lot of closures and various emergencies being declared including right here in MA. Tonight I was at a party after work for a retiring colleague when my boss, at the request of another coworker, pulled up the MFA website on her phone to see if they were closed tomorrow. This is what she saw.
This past week Kelly and I ended our service with our satellite provider. Kelly had been a customer with them for some six or more years, and she loves them. But we have been unable to get them to fix our problem for us, and so we ended our service. No point in paying for something that isn’t working, especially when you are as poor as us.
If you get regular Groupon emails you know that they’re always trying to be a little edgy. Or, at least sometimes, their humor is a bit tongue in cheek. This time, however, they either missed funny entirely, or someone re-purposed their Mother’s Day email and didn’t check the results of the Find and Replace function completely. Whoops.
Just wanted to let everyone know that the home phone is working again. Hopefully that will last a while. So call us. While you still can.

P.S. Yes, I know Kelly had already posted about this, but she did not emphasize the urgency that comes with never knowing when the phone will go out again. It’s like we live in a Third World country. Thanks, Verizon.
P.P.S. Of course, putting FiOS in would solve this problem, so if anyone from Verizon wants to go ahead and do that, we don’t mind.
This is just a quick note to let everyone know that our home is connected to the real world again. After a week with no home phone service and several Verizon techs being dispatched to several places, we have a working home phone again.
Yay?
– posting from my phone, Kelly
Kelly and I wanted to let everyone know that our home phone is no longer working as of this past Tuesday. A tech came by on Thursday and we thought he fixed everything, but apparently that is not the case. So we have been almost a week without a home phone. We will let you know when it is working again.
This is really really really getting old.
