Niko Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 Fighting with a telephone company.Very rarely do I rant and rave but this is too much. 8 months ago, my father passed away. As executer of his small estate, I've been responsible for all the associated matters regarding his death. He was meticulous with his record keeping and was a stickler for paying his bills in full and on time. After he passed, I contacted each and every company he had an account with. Providing them with death certificates when necessary and paying any and all final bills. Now, 8 months later, I'm getting phone calls and bills with incredible amounts. For example, and ambulance company, assessed late charges to his bill for an ambulance call. They were great, took off the late fees and I paid the bill on the spot. The telephone company is the infuriating one. Assessing a $200 fee for early cancellation and other various charges. (did I mention I had already paid his final bill in full). You have got to be kidding me. The man is deceased. Perhaps I should have left the account open so he could call me from heaven. So after 20 minutes on hold, and speaking with 2 different people, they are supposedly waiving the fees. Thank goodness for that. The woman I spoke with at the credit agency was wonderful. She also happens to be going through the same thing. We had a great discussion about the stupidity and insincerity of companies regarding in the matters of the death of a loved one. I wonder how many other stupid phone call I will be getting. I'm sorry to about your father. My uncle passed away Sunday. It seems to there is been a lot of death as of late. There was a friend of a friend who passed a few months ago a girl I went to high school with was burned alive a while back and then the Saturday I went to leave to see my Uncle there were two accidents on US-1 and the one guy I saw that was in the accident looked really bad... Not trying to be a down here or anything lol but I've never been exposed to this much death...makes you appreciate things a bit more you know?

CaptainSatan Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 (edited) It's about 12:30AM Republic of Texas time and I have been awake for less than an hour. Missing sleep for four days in a row finally took it's toll and I slept all day. I need to go Wally World to find some blue thread to repair a kimono (yukata really) that is one of the robes that I keep for my models to wear. Juts to be weird I am going to pick up a few king size sheets in different colours to try out as underwater backgrounds in the swimming pool tomorrow.

CaptainSatan Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 (edited) I had some people ask about my attempts at photography. There are some works in progress that may be viewed at Deviant Art. These images are rough drafts of some photos that I want to do in the near future. A bit like doing a sketch before starting a painting. There is an ungodly amount of nudity. Most of which is rated PG-13 to rated R. But I have to caution you that some of the bondage pics are NC-17 images. If you are over 18 you are welcome to take a looksie. If you are a conservative Muslim or a liberal feminist I advise that you do not view these images. NUDITY WARNING! http://art-terrorist.deviantart.com/ NUDITY WARNING!

CaptainSatan Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 One more thing.... You have to be signed in to Deviant Art to view any of the images that contain nudity.

Capn Bob Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 I am about to dig for buried treasure. All right, I'll be honest...or at least as honest as usual...I'm about to scoop out the kitties boxes. Adventure, excitement, really smelly things! Later today, I'll be doing up some laundry and playing France 1940. Playing the Dyle Plan scenario right now, on turn 72 (out of 88 turns), and I have a major victory against the fro...French.
