Scare the crap outta me, why don'tcha?

Stupid Embarq.

That's the local phone company.
Used to be Sprint.
Now they're Embarq and, overall, I'm not impressed.

Their website sucks.
Trying to pay my bill is an excercise in tedium, waiting for their shit to load.

Then, about 10 after midnight, something happened and I was out of commission til just a while ago.

Wudn't my fault.
I paid the stupid bill, just in case that had anything to do with it, but it didn't as they confirmed when I finally spoke to CS after the office opened this morning.

CS transferred me to Repair and I told that dude the whole story, including the many steps of "process of elimination, culminating in my deduction that this is Y'ALLS problem" I'd gone through and he cheerfully made notes of eeeeeverything I said, then told me they'd get right on it and stay on it til 7pm.... TOMORROW NIGHT.

Df?
(Da fuck?)

7pm tomorrow night?

I may be offline til tomorrow NIGHT?

For reasons I cannot ascertain, you expect me to be just hunky dory with the idea that Gut Rumbles is maybe gonna hafta SIT til TOMORROW NIGHT?

Are ya fuckin' HIGH?

Well, I AM AND IT AIN'T HELPING!!!!!

I remained pleasant with the 'droid on the phone, then had a "Fonzie Freak Out Moment" up to and including his "pullin' it back" gesture and did NOT immediately call Paul and the National Friggin' Guard or the stupid President or anybody else.

I got up, I went into the kitchen and cooked breakfast for three.
(Jr. was out hunting already.)

While I was doing that, I kept calling the house number with a cell phone til finally... IT WAS WORKING AGAIN!!!!!!!

Thank yew Jay-zus!!!

And, it's been fine ever since.
*rapping skull with knuckles*
(instead of wood...)

And, you betcher ass I already did GR, too.
*big, cheeky grin*

Oh and that roast?

Came out SO damned good and tender... *drool*... it came out so good, I'm doin' it again today.

Might even bake a cake, too.

Laundry is done.
Living room got done last night.
Kitchen ain't too bad. Breakfast dishes are already done...
Need to do the front room and Lord GAWD, do I need to do something about Donnie.
I don't know if it's her diet or what, but, damn when that duck poops...
Christ almighty man.

Plus, she seems to enjoy making it "projectile" and I even saw her purposely try to aim it at the white rooster last week when I was letting him run around while I cleaned his house.
My hand to God, Donnie was pissed at Foghorn.
I have no idea why.
But, she was watching him, pacing him back and forth across the front of her cage as he went back and forth, then at one point, she turned around, looked back and SHIT in his general direction.

He musta known she was gonna do it, because he leapt to the side, it missed him, she got even more pissed and vocal and I was just wiggin' out over her purposefulness and her frickin' mess.

There's a three foot Winnie the Pooh crammed into a rocking chair next to her cage that looks like he's been in Nam, he's so splattered and speckled and... green.

I'm not even gonna discuss what I saw this morning involving the goddamned miniblind and window sill...

Let's just say it's what gave me the idea of putting trash bags around the outside of the cage.
Tuck 'em into the shelf underneath and next time she shits, it'll hit the bag and slid into the bedding underneath and be absorbed, like it's supposed to.

Meanwhile, I need to google "solid duck shit" or "decent duck diet" and see what can be done if anything.

Don't ducks shit like chickens, only bigger?
Little, managable piles, like?

I've seen neater goose shit than what Donnie's doing and it just doesn't seem right, unless ducks shit totally differently than geeese and chickens.

Watch.
There'll be ONE breed of duck that shits like a geyser and that'll be the breed Donnie is.

It just occured to me, too...
if this post is any indication, this is gonna be an iiiiiinteresting year, don'tcha think?

Duck shit....

God help me.
