Can't give up Speakeasy by ucblockhead (2.00 / 0) #1 Fri Sep 01, 2006 at 12:03:37 PM EST

There are two seperate companies selling Cablemodem/Cable/Phone packages that would save me a bundle, but I can't give up having a sane ISP. :-(

: I don't want to give up my 10+ year old email addy by georgeha (2.00 / 0) #3 Fri Sep 01, 2006 at 12:08:56 PM EST

by switching to Time Warner for everything, I know what you mean. Plus, my cable is out far more often than my DSL.
And dishes are space age cool.

I would love to be a phlebotomist by lm (2.00 / 0) #2 Fri Sep 01, 2006 at 12:04:14 PM EST

I'd be willing to walk around all day and poke people with sharp objects for free if I wasn't putting a roof over the head and food on the table for a wife and two kids.

27k median salary here by georgeha (2.00 / 0) #4 Fri Sep 01, 2006 at 12:09:54 PM EST

I know I couldn't take care of my family on that, but it would be a nice supplement.

But Mrs. Ha wouldn't work full time anyhow.

: It isn't much lower down this way by lm (2.00 / 0) #5 Fri Sep 01, 2006 at 12:12:53 PM EST

But that's about 5k less than the feds say that a family of four needs at minimum to get by.

Your wife sounds like by debacle (2.00 / 0) #7 Fri Sep 01, 2006 at 03:55:45 PM EST

The perfect phlebotomist.

"Oh, heh, sorry, I missed the vien!"

"HAHA OUCH! OH EFFING LORD!"

Still, it opens up doors.

Cable is fucking nuts. Companies are doing away with basic subcriptions in favor of these super expensive 120-channel plans that no one really needs.

I wish we were still elgible for DSL. Having an internet bill go from 20 to 60 blows. Time Warner, in fact, blows pretty bad.

Can you try wifi? by georgeha (2.00 / 0) #8 Fri Sep 01, 2006 at 04:00:34 PM EST

I had rotten luck leaching in Tonawanda, but fire up a wifi PC and see who can you leach from.

Everyone has shit stations by debacle (2.00 / 0) #9 Fri Sep 01, 2006 at 04:05:59 PM EST

We can leech if we stand just right on the kitchen counter.

Yet I catch the neighbors sloshing in our bandwidth every other night. I prefer to fuck with them rather then lock them out outright.

most common boards are web-banned. So how can I excite my husband ten different ways?

Buy him the Lego monorail
Mow the lawn
Stop bitching about your hips
Your thighs
Your ass
His mother
The weather
Make dinner. Anything that comes from a box is not dinner
Take off your bra
You're bitching again

I wholeheartedly recommend the DISH by dev trash (2.00 / 0) #16 Fri Sep 01, 2006 at 07:46:42 PM EST

Not Directv though. My DISH is still at my parents's and I was going to cancel it but DISH lets me just pay for locals for $6.35/month.

WIPO: Over the air, digital. by ambrosen (2.00 / 0) #17 Sun Sep 03, 2006 at 11:44:02 AM EST

That's $80/month for the phone, internet and TV, I take it. Sounds reasonable. In UKia, TV costs £12/month compulsory tax, plus whatever you pay to any other providers. DSL and phone can be got for around £21/month, calls included.

Phlebotomists are great. The ones at my local hospital know me by name, and they do a much more painless job than the average GP or nurse.

phlebomotist by jimgon (2.00 / 0) #18 Tue Sep 05, 2006 at 08:17:22 AM EST

A friend of mine is a full time phlebomotist at a hospital. She started the job right out of college. She was the first one of my friends to pay off a car loan in advance. So, it's a good job. As part of my wife's Medical Assistant course they instructed them in taking blood and giving shots. The first doctor she worked for had her doing it. Naturally she still got a standard medical assistant's salary.
