That is indeed a lot of patience N. 5 Years, holy crow.
But I knew you could diagnose the problem because you are indeed the technical expert. J (Note: who is or what is this J?)
In the last 5 years I have had to call BELL 8 (no word of a lie) times for the same problem, squirrels chewing the wires at the pole.
You don’t need to be a rocket scientist to figure out that’s what happened. Check the box going into the house and see there is no external signal, ergo the problem is outside and not inside. Go the pole, see the chards of protective wire coating covering the ground around the pole, then look up and see the exposed wires on the pole.
At least with Rogers you didn’t have to deal with “Emily”, the automated voice activated BELL Biatch that is supposed to assist you with your problem. Just for laughs you should give it a call sometime. It’s hilarious talking to that thing. Throw in the odd swear word and it gets even funnier,
And of course when “Emily” can’t figure out what the heck you want you get re-directed to the BELL call centre located in Mumbai, India. Even more of a hoot dealing with those folks. Try describing a squirrel chewed the wires at your pole to them . Toooooooo funny.
Glad to hear you are up and all good now bud though. You da man !!!!!!

Your patience in dealing with Rogers is amazing! That's enough to drive anyone to drink!

Why thankyou D. ...I am the expert...the solution is
Call Rogers and make an appointment
-get really mad cause they don't come
-have them come 3 weeks later and redo all your inside stuff for the 4th time
-still have problems- make another appointment
-tell rogers to climb the darn pole and check the darn wires
Solution....oh yes Sir it seems squirrels have been eating your wire for years I'll put a new wire to the house.
O my gosh stuff is now working....it only took 5 years of calling the bad people at Rogers

I'm blaming it on Hotmail - if it was sent, what the hell is it doing in my
Drafts folder. Damn computer geeks!

Thought I had sent this last week, but just found it in my Drafts file .....
I wondered how long it was going to be before we heard from you, B. I
like the badminton idea, but I'll concede any kind of track & field
competition (I hate that stuff). I'm not much of an ultimate fighting fan,
but it might be fun to watch you and N. square off.
I'm looking forward to the intensity of the bocce tournament already. Well,
at least until the beer takes effect.

That comment from A. that he and P. have been searching for competition
since 1994 really gets me mad. Do you want me to put up a badminton net?
Do you really want to see a track and field competition? Do you want to do
an ultimate fight competition? You two know golf and ball hockey, oh yeah,
and curling. You two are going to get the poop-kicking that you deserve in
bocci and whether I am paired with M., N. or D. does not matter. Yous
going down.
B.
PS
All the best to N. and D. with their moms.

No - not directed at you, D. P. and I have been searching for
competition since 1994.

OUCH !!!!!
I feel that remark was directed squarely at me given my abysmal performance playing with N. last year.
In a pitiful attempt to defend myself I would simply like to point out that last September was the first time I played bocci ball since 1994 when we held Septemberfest here at my place and it took me two years to make up with my neighbours after our, uhh, escapades.
But I've been practicing and am looking forward to this year's challenge.
N, I will do you proud this year. Well, actually, probably not at bocci ball but with the 55 pack of Coors light I'll bring courtesy the "King Of Beers" in Alymer !!!!! J. (Note: not sure who J. is)

You should have been able to figure it out, P.. I like competition - and,
well .... let's just say that I sometimes find that at the curling club.

You are right D., curling vs bocci. How can someone even consider this
option. It gets easier to figure out though when you consider this is from a
guy who runs around Perth in a kilt!!!

CURLING !!!!!!!!????????
PULEEEEESEEEE !!!!!!
You would pass up the World Cup of Boccii ball for Curling ?
Actually A., good point you have. I'd also pass it up in favour of
curling.... or a root canal.
Anything in October is perfectly good with me. I have absolutely no social
life so my OUTLOOK calendar automatically closes itself whenever I try to
open it and enter an appointment.
It just responds with the message "Who are you kidding that you actually
need to record something in here"?

OK dudes, I think it's time we started using the actual dates for these
weekends, because I've been staring at my calendar for at least 5 seconds
and the 2nd weekend in October is Thanksgiving. So I'm going to assume that
B. is proposing the weekend of October 15th. This should be OK, but it's
getting dangerously close to curling season and our Opening Bonspiel. I'll
say I'm good with it for now.

Der,
Well, the thing is, don't ya know, I have a new email address and could not
or did not know HOW to transfer your address over to this machine. THAT's
because I knew what comes around goes around and it did not matter thanks to
"reply all".
As for the DATE, I think that we are into October. I like October because
with HALLOWEEN I have an excuse to really scare you. Exactly which date
does not matter as M. will stay over with her parents. I propose the
second weekend of October, not Thanksgiving.

Thanks for forwarding this M.
NOW SAVE MY FREAKIN' EMAIL W...DOUGHNUT...I FEEL LEFT OUT !!!!!!! J
P. kills me. "Due to holidays". You're retired now you goof, EVERY DAY is
a holiday !!!!!!!
Only time that would not work for me is the last week in September as C.
is going to Italy then so I have to look after dogs, cats, birds and horse
that week.
Otherwise, I'm good for anytime.
Thanks for the invite B. Appreciate it.

Aug is a no go for me and probably others due to holidays etc, so i guess we
will be looking at Oct. I have no problems with that month

Hi Men,
I would include D. on this email but I don't have his address on this
machine. Perhaps one of you could forward this to him. The last weekend of
August, Saturday the 27th will work for me. To discuss...
