Can I just say that I am about to go off the deep end and Time Warner is at the center of my circle of hate? See ever since they've changed to this Maestro system nothing about my cable has been the same. I can't look at my guide up in the bedroom because it sends the cable box into some sort of weird tizzy funk where it keeps trying to reboot but never does and I swear, one of these days the whole system is going to blow up. No where in the house, on any cable box can I search for shows (like Harry Potter) and if I try, it sends the box into a tailspin leaving me watching a black screen until I usually have to call the freaking cable company to reboot from their end.And when I've tried to talk to a rep about this, they just say that, yes, they know of the issues but they can't do anything about it until all systems have been upgraded. At that point, their engineers can then focus on fixing or tweaking the flaws. Shit!!! Why would you put something in place that is so effed up? And why am I paying for something that doesn't work? It's a bunch of bullshit!!! Oh, and when I say to the reps - hey, what can you do for me in the meantime so I'm not cancelling and you lose a customer? They say they can't do anything because I'm on the lowest tier as it is - in other words, for my cable, I'm paying less than most customers. Well, if I'm paying for a service, isn't it reasonable that the service should work? COME ON!!! And really, what's my alternative? They don't care if they lose me as a customer they've got millions of others who keep them in the money. I guess I'll just keep bitching here. Sucks for all of you.
On another front - I need a new digital camera. I took a bunch of pictures last night of sweet little J Bird in his cute little Bengals pajamas but somewhere near the end of the end of the night, my disk went on the fritz and I've lost all photos! Sorry Maggie. It's what you (I) get for using such an ancient piece of equipment. In the meantime, you can enjoy this photo of J.J. from July and hope that Jim takes the hint and gets me a new camera for my birthday.Off to Costco...later.

I hear ya about Time Warner. They absolutely suck!! We always have issues with their equipment. I hate the way the new guide is anyway. It's a lot more complicated to search for a show by name now. I hate their new system!! Why do businesses have to keep changing things? I mean, if it was because they are adding many more HD channels, then maybe I could be okay with it, but c'mon, TW's lineup is horrible compared to other companys' lineups. It's like at the grocery store too. They still sell the same exact products, but every 6 months or so, they have to go an move everything around. WHY? I fear there is no logical reason except to screw with our routines. Okay, I'm done ranting. :-)
