Overheard

“We were addicted to the intensity of our hunger—the almost limitless depths of it—and to the certitude that we were needed, that we were vital.  Such a feeling is not as wonderful as the condition of being loved, but it is similar, with its dependencies, and far more reliable.”

“When authorities warn you of the sinfulness of sex, there is an important lesson to be learned. Do not have sex with the authorities.”

“From the backstabbing co-worker to the meddling sister-in-law, you are in charge of how you react to the people and events in your life. You can either give negativity power over your life or you can choose happiness instead. Take control and choose to focus on what is important in your life. Those who cannot live fully often become destroyers of life.”

“Don’t let your victories go to your head, or your failures go to your heart”

: “If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives; be kind anyway. If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies; succeed anyway. If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you; be honest and frank anyway. What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight; build anyway.”

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 .
