Brief messages don't take long to type, but longer messages take you past the session deadline, forcing you into a new one, hence the new verification request. I guess you're just getting long-winded, Rosebuckle :-)C.L.J.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01734352657431970430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12065579.post-73895210687370042112007-11-17T17:58:00.000-05:002007-11-17T17:58:00.000-05:00We only have a land line because our alarm is on i...We only have a land line because our alarm is on it and because since we've moved here, the cable hasn't been connected to our building, otherwise we'd only use our cell phones and cable.<BR/><BR/>Hope things do get better real soon.

Reception is also spotty in my home.<BR/>NONSEQUITER : has anyone else had problems with the word verification here? Lately it seems like I have to do it twice. I check carefully (like just now) it's correct & yet I get sent back to verify a second time. Make that 3 timesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12065579.post-90532740200693554122007-11-17T12:42:00.000-05:002007-11-17T12:42:00.000-05:00Dirch the phone.

We dumped it after storms had our phone knocked out for a week and there was still no end in sight and I was still being charged. And I am cheap and cannot have that. And the people were not sympathetic. So off it went and we have never regretted- or even noticed it. As a plus- no telemarketers. <BR/>It doesn't end up saving that much money because all of your calls are now billed (at least on our plan). But I like not having to play for something we rarely use. Oh, did I mention I am cheap?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
