Overheard

“The desire of the man is for the woman, but the desire of the woman is for the desire of the man.”

“Do stuff. Be clenched, curious. Not waiting for inspiration’s shove or society’s kiss on your forehead. Pay attention. It’s all about paying attention. Attention is vitality. It connects you with others. It makes you eager. Stay eager.”

“The tragedy of life is not that it ends so soon, but that we wait so long to begin it.”

“The bonds of matrimony are like any other bonds - they mature slowly.”

“When, after a few years or a few months of a relationship, we find that we’re still unfulfilled, we blame our partners and take up with somebody more promising. This can go on and on—series polygamy—until we admit that while a partner can add sweet dimensions to our lives, we, each of us, are responsible for our own fulfillment. Nobody else can provide it for us, and to believe otherwise is to delude ourselves dangerously and to program for eventual failure every relationship we enter.”

You've got the gist of it and our frustration level right on. But the details are a little off. That's okay, though.

To be honest, we're actually not nearly as pissed off with Telus as we are with the company who we actually deal with for home phone service - Sprint (now Rogers).

You've galvanized me into action again, though, Trav. Thanks! I think it's past time to right Ted Rogers a nasty letter. Who should I "cc"?

Telus does not provide good internet service It is high speed but often ( 7 out of the last 14 days ) has been unavailable during the day . This really poor if you use internet function such as banking services . Subcribe to telus and learn what the TSX did yesterday !
Highly unreliable service and to think they want to go into providing internet based TV .
