AVR News Update
Hello and Happy Sunday! 

Ugh! So I've been having internet issues all week. Once again AT&T is fucking us over with their shitty substandard service, yet they've raised prices twice in the last year. The internet here goes down more than a $5 whore with a half off sale. I'm serious! If I had other options, ANY option, I would switch so fast I would leave skid marks. On the road, not my underwear. I asked the Magic 8Ball if I should blow up AT&T and the answer was "Yes. Definitely." Damn that M8B, gonna get me in trouble.

In other news, my youngest son's birthday was Tues and he's now 14! *thud* Since he's a Dresden fan I posted this to his FB wall with a Happy Birthday message. :)

It's cold and rainy today, but we're supposed to creep back up to the 80s Monday & Tuesday before heading back to the 70s. I like the 70s. I mean temps. For music I prefer the 80s. lol

That's it for me. AVR News Update signing off. May all your books enthrall you.

    1. Oooh, I'm so glad I gave you a laugh especially one you needed. Those are the best ones to give. :) I have no hope the issues will be resolved or stay steady. AT&T sucks. Plain and simple.

  3. I have to say your post cracked me up...I hope AT&T gets their shit together but they probably won't. Our provider charges through the nose and our service is... whatever. So typical...

    Hope you had good weekend!

    1. *bows* I'll be here all week. If the internet stays up, that is. lol They won't. It's nice to daydream about, but it won't happen. This issue has been ongoing for years now. I guess living on a rural road with few houses means we get shitty service. I hate monopolies!

    1. Oh, shit. Don't encourage me. LOL Thanks! His birthday was the last one in the family for the year. Now, I can concentrate on Christmas. *gasp* I said the "C" word!

  5. I did not enjoy AT&T when we had service through them. All the unexplained price increases drove me crazy. Luckily we had other options though I can imagine your frustration. Blowing things up probably isn't the answer though. I'm not sure how good your access to new releases is in jail. Have a great week and happy birthday to your son!

    1. They.Are.Horrible. le sigh I wouldn't actually blow them up though. Not only do I look awful in orange, but no soft jammies or new releases?! The horror! I'll just keep hoping that Time Warner finally comes down our road. Could they be worse? Crap. Maybe I better not say that.

    1. If they would bury the lines then I would think there'd be less problems. But maybe that's too sensible. *sigh*

  7. Lol your love for AT&T is like my love for Comcast and I dropped them so fast they didn't see it coming this was after the cursed like a truck driver at the woman on the phone. I was really mad ;)
    I LOVE the covers of Nero's Fiddle and Obsidian Eye, I hope you Enjoy all your new reads!!

    Have a great week Carol, try not to blow anything up! ;)

    1. I wish I could drop AT&T. I hate them with a burning passion.

      I'll do my best to resist, but no promises. lol

  8. I'll post bail if you win, as long as it's under $50. :P I have Comcast and they've been pretty decent. I know some people have trouble with them but I haven't.

    That said, I did drop my cable after I was laid off and have been managing quite well with NetFlix, Hulu and Amazon Prime, which is still cheaper than cable.

    Enjoy your books and stay cool.

    1. My son said to ask the M8B if I would go to jail, but I'm afraid what the answer will be. lol I'll try not to do anything that might get me in trouble. :D

      The only thing we've really missed is the football package. That's it. We also have Netflix and Amazon Prime, but we're piggy backing on someone's else's Hulu account (we rarely use it~commercials? really?!) Plus an occasional Redbox movie. Add in the internet (when it's working), gaming systems and books and we have more than enough to keep us entertained. :)

  9. Bwahahaha!! Love the M8B!! It gets a lot of us in trouble. Hope your internet has improved.
    Looks like you've picked up some interesting reads... lots of York books. Enjoy *wink*

    Thanx for visiting My Weekly Wrap-Up!
