When I set up my first account here, I chose the PayPal option not knowing it would only allow me to pay for 1 month at a time. Getting that account set up turned out to be sort of comical - not anyone's fault, just one of those things - and took some effort to get resolved. Thanks again, Bill. At the finish of all that, PayPal would only allow me to give TCH a measley $4, minus the PP fees! I was actually a bit embarassed to tell you the truth. I thought I was going to be able to pay for multiple months but it only allows for a per-month auto deduction. I would like to have known about that beforehand. If I had known, I would have used the multiple-month direct pay via credit card option. I just use PayPal when it's offered because it's quick and easy for me. I have a note on my monitor to contact the billing folks this month to get it changed. Thumbs Up Beth

Bruce - Is there somewhere special we're supposed to be looking?

VI - Must be a regional thing - it's really popular here in northern Ohio, comes with all the delivery pizzas. Kinda good actually if you don't over do it - I just like it with the crust. Dang, I have to pee - hurry up Bill!!!!!!

Well??? My clock says 10:01 PM

OK - put the pizzas on hold - move the party to Glenn's house - we'll help him celebrat the Mrs' Birthday!!

Well, whatever it is, I'm ready. Got 3 large pizzas, double cheese, double mushrooms. Garlic-butter dipping sauce on the side. Anyone bring anything to drink? Beth Rock Sign

My professional life was spent full-time in academia and part-time in law enforcement. There was no such thing as an unfilled service request, and it better be delivered with a smile or you'd have some tenured proffessor or tight-arsed lieutenant crawling up your netherlands in a heartbeat, making your life miserable. And, I never made as much as people in the private sector for all of that. I really believe most of the rest of the world has no idea what that kind of service is all about - well, except for TCH that is. Thumbs Up I spent this morning going around with my ISP of all things. I've been a customer for 6 years, with an auto-pay account. They get, maybe, 2 calls a year from me and my bill is always paid on time, obviously. This is a local company, but I've gotten good service and I like them a lot - they've always been great about communicating with their customers. The credit card they've been billing for 3 years expired 02/04 (meaning it was good until 2/29/04). On 1/31/04 at 9:15 PM my account was disconnected - no e-mail, no warning, no how do you do. I make a call to tech support and 10 hours later my account is restored but I hear nothing back from tech support at all. I provide the company with the updated credit card expiration date and we move on. Hey, mistakes happen, no harm-no foul. Last night, 2/29/04, 9:15 PM - guess what? Yeah - my account was disconnected again. I send tech support a less than enthusiastic e-mail. About 3 hours later my account is restored but I hear nothing from tech support whatsoever. At noon today I called and talked to the Office Manager. Got a "don't know what happened" sort of story, and he was completely unaware of what had happened a month earlier - it had never been recorded in my customer account record. He also tells me that my credit card is expired - seems no one bothered to record my new information! He was a pleasant enough guy, but basically did the song-and-dance routine - he's new to the position. I've had great service fromt this company for 6 years and I'm not going to let a few individuals' inattention to the details of their job take it away from me. I go out of my way to "shop in my own backyard" and this is a local company I want to continue supporting. I now have the name of the company president/owner. If I have to do this again at the end of March, I'm not going to pull my account. I'm going to show up in their offices in person and let the owner of the company know what's happening to one of his customers. I think it will matter to HIM that his tech people no longer respond to e-mails and his billing clerks don't update accounts. Then again, maybe I'm just a witch ... well, you know what I mean Beth

Gee Glenn, I think they make an ointment for that nowadays. Happy Birf'day to the Wife!! Pisces Rule! Thumbs Up

Welcome Nathan James!! The World Is Already A Better Place Because You're In It!! Congratulations Mommy & Daddy!! Thumbs Up Beth

Congrats Eric! I remember getting my first car - bought mine with babysitting money, too. It was a very used '62 VW bug, pumpkin orange with a heater that existed more in the owner's manual that actual practice. But, it had a killer radio and great mileage. Had a lot of great times with that car. Have a blast! Beth

Thanks for the giggle Thomas - those were good. Thumbs Up Beth
