Over a month ago we bought a new HD TV with our stimulus check.  We had Dish Network for our satellite provider.  We've always been extremely happy with them.  I called the number off their website and somehow got ahold of something called FunDish.  They  ttold me that in our area, DIRECTV was the better server and they were switching us to them.  She told me that Direct is NEVER bothered by weather....found out that's a lie.  Then, they said we were to get professional free installation.  The guy told me that he had to have a check for $90.00 before he would turn it on.  He even used our cement and my husband dug the hole!  Called them back and they said we shouldn't have paid him.  Uh, yeah....they told me they would send us a partial refund....never got it.

Now, I paid my first bill online and got a confirmation of payment along with a confirmation number via email.  Yesterday I got a late payment with a late fee tacked onto it! I called my bank and she told me that the money had been deducted from our account and sent to DIRECTV. I checked my bank statement, and yep, there it was made out to DIRECTV.  I called DIRECTV, and they told me I hadn't paid my bill. I told them that I had proof in the email comfirmation, the bank, and the bank statement.  She says I have to fax a copy of my bank statement to them to prove I paid it!  What the heck is going on?  I don't know what to do.  What's seeing my bank statement going to do.  They still clain they never got it.  I won't pay it again, and darn sure won't pay that late fee!

I won't be sending them a copy of my bank statement!  Where do i go next to alleviate this?  Help me Fox 2!!

I was wondering who won the Rams tickets from the song of the day contest?  I think you guys should post the winners of every contest.  I've seen some, but not all by any means.  That's just like the Toby Keith tickets.  Didn't seen who won those either. 

Could you do that for us?

Having just heard what Randi just said  on the news about abortion, I'm appalled!  60% of all abortions are performed on women who have had at least 1 child!  After already having a baby do you all not know how to prevent pregnancy?  It's not abortion  people.... for God's sake!  If you don't want any more children or not at this time, how about using birth control instead of just killing it!

Let's see how many agree with me on this, or how many are gonna fight me on it. I realize it's a woman's body to do with what she want's, but how about using something to prevent pregnancy to start with! Geez!!

Okay....I just watched this goofy lawyer of those parents who left their baby to die in the hot car.  He says that the two cases, this one and the one with the black nursey worker, don't even compare.  He says she KNEW she was responsible for those little kids. It's the law.  My problem is, she knew she was responsible, but the parents aren't I guess?  If they aren't who was?  Was it her fault? Did she get in that car by herself?  That mother knew she hadn't dropped her off at the sitter's.  If she was calling her husband to park her car, why did she not inform him she had taken the baby yet, and if she hadn't, why was she worried about parking her car yet?  He's not guilt free, but I see it as she is the most at fault.  Whether there was criminal intent or not, a little person died, and someone should assume responsibilty for it.  These parents are not little kids who can just use the age old excuse of, "I didn't do it...or I didn't know". I didn't let my own kids off with BS excuses like that!  This just infuriates me! 

One time a deputy came by here and accused me of neglect of one of my dogs cause at that time, he had run out of water. I had not done the chores yet at this time, but she wouldn't hear of it. She was going to press charges for animal abuse!  I take very good care of my animals, but I was going to be arrested!  How is this something worse than the death of a child?  BTW, my dog didn't die either!!

Did anybody see that guy's sign about eminent domain?  The way he has it written to me would mean, "no ending eminent domain".  It should have said "eminent domain"   and then have the cross thru it. The way he wrote it is a double negative. What's up with that?
