Help Please:

Email received from ex-wife:

Subject: DirecTV

Since I was under a two year contract, and I am breaking that 6 months early, they are charging me $20 per the last 6 months for a total of $120. I think that it is only fair that you pay me for that.
I'm thinking DirecTV would be willing to let me take over the account instead of breaking it. Any advise?
If you ignore the email it will just go away right?

I know, right?
Dear god.. not you too.
He was being ironical, me thinks.My sister used this at dinner the other night. I called her out on it. We have a firm rule of busting each other's balls when we resort to "Bachelor" speak. Using the word "Amazing" is akin to dropping a "C" word during dessert.
 
Bogart > check out OKCupid too. I found I had more luck on there than match
:goodposting:And it's free. And if you play your cards right we could become eskimo brothers.
:hifive: OKCupid has been an education that I still haven't figured out. The whole goal it feels like is to have a profile that is eye-catching and different, some decent self photos that aren't bathroom mirror shots or FaceTime shots in the car, and all the while, everyone else is doing the same "different" things.And even worse is messaging females that you would like to meet, trying to find that compromise between a one word/sentence response that they probably get a ton of, and writing a book that they don't want to take the time to read.Guess I need to read the iDating thread and get some pointers.
 
Another stupid question:

I'm going to let her cancel DirecTV and get her name off the account. Then I'll set up a NEW account with this coupon I have that is ridiculously cheap and might allow for me to get the NFL Sunday Ticket. Currently, there are two dishes on the house (one for HD was put up there a couple years ago). If I sign up as a new customer, will they have to install a 3rd dish? It looks so ghetto right now...I'd hate to add a 3rd dish up there.

 
New girlfriend knows I'm swamped with trial prep, so she went into the bathroom at her office and texted me a picture with just bra and panties to brighten my day.

So marrying her.

 
I have recently had very, very poor customer service with Directv, to the point where when our contract is up next Spring, we will never use them again (and this is after Romo has been with them for the last 8-9 years). Very few service providers have made me experience true rage like they have in the last year. I hope you have a better experience with them than we have. Just know that to get that new sweet deal with NFL Sunday Ticket, you're going to be opting into another two year contract. Good luck, though.

 
I love Directv.

No you won't need a 3rd dish.

Still might be better to call them and try to negotiate the new subscriber deal while getting rid of the dumb fees they are trying to stick flags with.

Definitely hop into the iDating thread. Some good info there. Used a lot of tips there and elsewhere to streamline an approach that worked well for me.
 
Wife and I were propositioned one night when we were out of town for the weekend. Got pretty drunk at the local bar and met this couple that were nice and friendly and the chick kept flashing me her fake boobs all night. We walked back to our hotel and had a beer with them in our room. Then we told them we were going to call it a night and it was nice to meet them. The guy looked right at me and said, "I'm not going to play any games here, but I'd really like to #### your wife." I told him we were flattered but so did I and it was nice to meet them and good luck in the future. So that's my experience.
i was shocked, shocked, by this outcome.
 
I like camping, but hate waking up in a tent as hot as a sauna when you go in the middle of summer. Much better in the fall or spring or in Oregon aparently.
How about camping sober?
After 15 days of unlimited withdrawals the bank put a stop on the account, but not before $1.5 million was withdrawn and then gambled away.
If you get $1.5mil in free cash, you've already won. Why gamble with it?
The guy obviously isn't bright. I can't imagine how the thought process he went through before taking out all of that mony.

in my experience this does not last.
In my experience, she'll end up taking half my stuff. Joke's on her--it will only be a fourth.
:lmao: :lmao: :lmao:

With the new equipment you shouldn't even have to have the 2nd dish. You can get hd with just one, and you should call them and explain that you need that to continue with them.Add me to the camp calling them and explaining the situation. Give them an option of waiving fees, no bill until you move in, replace the 2 you have with a single hd capable dish, get Sunday ticket with coupon, sign up for 2 years, get half a year of the nudie channels and profit, or you'll go with another provider. They will agree...

no such thing
I witnessed it and I've been to Vietnam, Afghanistan, and Iraq, and I can say without hyperbole that it is a million times worse than all of them put together.

Watching decade-old Vegas shows on Destination America. Definitely have a problem. :unsure:

what did they do, kill your dog?
Not me. My company. Not a dog. Some trees.
Sounds immaterial. And I don't do litigation, so unless it reaches well into eight figures, it doesn't affect me in any way. :)
:whew: six figures tops. Just green light the payment...we can make this all go away ;)
 
Only the lawyers will care:I'm trying a case beginning next Monday. Pre-trial motions were due today. The first set we got was a third-party asking to exclude any expert witnesses, testimony or reports that weren't disclosed on time under the court's case management order. They're the only one that missed this deadline. They probably just excluded their own expert.
lolz

Last summer I had a couple make it clear that I could come back to their hotel room. I did get a picture with her while she was showing her boob, but otherwise I passed. Seems creepy. Maybe it's different if you know the people. Maybe it's more creepy though.

they would, but you would probably be better off giving her the $60 and signing a new deal with DTV and getting a bunch of new HD receivers for free.

Actually, the fact the you mentioned a "company" and a contractor makes me think this is TruGreen LandCare, not TruGreen (which is residential lawn maintenance, not commercial landscaping). Yes? If so, not associated in any way with us at this point.
 
We had Famous Dave's for lunch today, but instead of delivery, I like to go pick it up. Free beer while I wait at the bar for it. WINNING!

Also, had the Manhandler, but subbed pork for brisket and topped it with slaw. Outstanding for a chain. :thumbup:
I only eat Famous Dave's if I arrive on Scupper's party boat
This one lets me order pitchers of captain morgan and diet coke. :thumbup: If I lived in Louisiana, I wouldn't have to eat at Famous Daves either. Not much BBQ in Tualatin.

Today, the assistant manager of Dicky Joes waltzed into our office and asked if we'd ever had their burgers. We assured her we had and she left us a huge coupon for free food all day today. Not believer her, my trader zipped over at 11 and came back with 5 bacon cheeseburgers, 3 chocolate shakes, 3 orders of fries and 2 onion rings. ALL FREE! No catch.

Hey 5 Guys - SUCK IT IN THE DOOR!
I've never seen anyone with so much hate for a fast food restaurant.
 
Rock of Ages is a broadway musical they turned into a movie.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rock_of_Ages_%28musical%29
From Rotten Tomatoes.....
This hugely dislikable film of the rock musical currently running in London's West End is set in 1987 Los Angeles and stars the colourless Julianne Hough and Diego Boneta as out-of-town innocents who come to Hollywood to become singing stars. It's love at first sight, success at second try, and they are the only pure spirits in a world of sleazy rockers and corrupt politicians. The tone is uncertain, the music loud but tame, the performances misjudged. The dialogue features such gems as a noisome gay rock venue manager (Russell Brand) describing his opponent, the mayor's moral-crusading wife (Catherine Zeta-Jones), as looking as if she's been "hibernating in Margaret Thatcher's bumhole". Never has Los Angeles looked less enticing.
My sister saw this the other day. She said "I didn't really like it at first. But once I figured out what it was supposed to be I thought it was OK." I asked her "What is it supposed to be?" She said "It's like 'Glee' with 80s rock songs."Yeah.
:lmao: At what point did she "figure it out"?

She went in thinking it was just a cheesy, straight-forward movie. Not some half-assed musical.

I'll give it another go. I struck out today. Do you want a low-fi dish or should I take this thing down and sell it to disc golfers?

They forgot the meat in my burger, dawg. The meat. Not the pickles or the cheese or the pineapples...the freaking meat. Then they made it seem like a simple oversight with no gesture to fix it. That's some bull spit right there, I don't care how many free peanutes they give you.I thought you retired?

I only have one HD TV. :bag: Maybe I'll go to Best Buy and get another one.

 
Moving sucks, but at least its an excuse to clean out the drawers. Found some rubbers that expired in 2008. :bag: Found some fake marijuana (Black Spice?) in a pair of old gloves. Forgot I had a long, Burberry (sp) coat that I inherited. Not sure what the hell to do with that. Got rid of about 20 ties. Don't worry Shuke, I won't offer any of them to you, Big Slacks. Done being nice to you. Found two Niel Diamond records. Odd since I haven't owned a record player since I was 7.

I sure have a lot of books I've never even come close to reading. Hope those do well at garage sales.

4 more days.
