I was about to make a birthday thread to Abaddon, but he isn't here anymore.
I expect you are alluring to the fact it is your birthday?

I think I've just had a wasp sting on my testicles. That can't be healthy, surely...

No, that can't. Watch where you put those things, salty. It also can't be healthy for your soul to have to see a doctor about that.

The phone company managed FOR THE SECOND TIME to accidently (accidently???) drop my free 'cost-free' feature for calls between my own phones (cell-home, cell-work, home-work) from my account. In May! Now I have to get the bills, check trillions of connections in fine print, add them up, add AVT, write them a conplaint letter and pray I get my money back - AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!
ahhhh, venting helps, even it is the laptop I am yelling at, and even if it is yelling only in electronic form

I think phone companies invented bill padding. Either that or thier ancestors did.

Yeah - I WILL send a nice short letter to the AG, too. Titled 'Report on financial fraud'. They have to check up on such things, too
And even if it was an accident, the fact that 'the system' re-generates this 'error' again and again makes the company liable, including personal liability for those responsible. Lucky me this comes under German jurisdiction now that I moved, and German laws have become quite tough on the fraud-prone telecom business.

Simple Simon, I think you would really enjoy this book. If you can find it, it has some great stories about sticking it to the man (and regular, very rude people), and inspires some ways to fight back. I think they have a website too, but I'll leave that for you to find.

Sounds nice - but I don't really have the energy to 'stick it' to them. Just a nice little report, and the AG's office handels the rest..... Last time I got pissed off by a company I had my lawyer threaten such a report, and BEHOLD! the desired and ordered and paid but never deliverable gadget was delivered the next week, along with flowers for my wife (they yelled at her on the phone) and a 20% discount.

Poor you! If the TV program here is an indication of yours, the M*A*S*H is the cream of the crop, so if ti is not on that's close to cruel&unusual......

We rented out Thank you for Smoking. Then, the parental units looked at the rating (R), and flipped out. I suggested they fast-forward through the "brief sexual content", but instead I got a massive lecture on responsibility, followed by my parents fears that under in the influence of American culture, i would grow up to be a perverted freak. I then told them only old Japanese men who rode escalators 10 steps below women were, resulting in another massive lecture.

Where did you move here from? Or am I assuming too much already? If it helps, I would suggest Morgan Spurlock's Super Size Me as an alternative. Though I think it has swearing in it, I don't think it's R rated. And if that doesn't work, there's always An Inconvinent Truth, if you're going for the documentary genre. I also suggest that you not mouth off to ma and pa if you're looking to avoid massive lectures. I found the best way to deal with this is to try and act as much as you can like a grown-up. Parents tend to treat you the way you behave. Remember that grown-ups don't just watch R rated movies, they also don't make excuses or whine. Not saying that you do, I don't know you. But it's very easy to forget.

My new phone, aka my parents' old phone, is still alive.
The battery dies in about a day.

I'm sure there are phone company tricks that prevent you from doing that.

Recharged. But other than that, I want to send all of my old pics to a memory card for the phone I want. Which will be the same type I will have.
Wait, is there some kind of warranty? Wait, it doesn't apply. Crap.

Damn laptop stopped charging again. Hopefully I can get a couple hundred bucks from it towards a new desktop. I'm so pissed about this too!
