Well the problem I have with Time Warner is they wanted me to change my address
to a TWC address instead of keeping panics.com. I told them that was crazy. I
told him I didn't want to change my email address I wanted to keep the same
one. But if I go with Verizon will have to see what happens. I know I want to
go with them for phone service. I just don't know how long it will take them to
come to my apartment. Whether it would take a week or a few days. I really
don't know wow that's crazy that you lost service in your trailer park. That is
really weird. Honestly it really is. I haven't had a Verizon personal hotspot.
I know you can get one. I know through the library you can get a router for a
year. But you have to get a library card for the regular New York public
library. I don't have a problem with that. But I don't play games or anything
on my iPhone. Maybe I might listen to QVC live or something like that or I
might listen to the radio. But I'm not a big game player. Of course I'm on
Facebook and stuff like that. But when my homemaker comes today I'm going to
have her take that box of cookies and throw them out. Because she's going to
have to take them downstairs because it won't fit in the trashcan. So basically
that's how it goes. I was really upset that that box of cookies went to my
other address instead of year. But QVC refunded my money but I was still kind
of unhappy about that since I told him to change ever everything over here. And
yesterday I changed everything back home. Now I have to work with my long-term
care insurance to change my homecare back to my other address. Then I have to
call the department of social services and this other agency. No whether I'm
going to keep my care aid when I go home I have no idea. Anyway if I'm not I'll
have to figure out how to do things. And that's going to be tricky. I know I
can put the clothes in the washer but to reach into the dryer and take them out
that's going to be an issue. And I'm not really sure how to resolve it. My
mother said maybe kneel down and try to do it with my left hand. But that's
going to be really tricky. So we'll just have to see how that goes. We're going
to get new washers and dryer's for the laundry room and it's going to be a card
system but they claim that the machine that we have to use is going to talk.
I'll believe that when I actually see it.

I didn’t know cable companies offered just Wi-Fi. I know we have a wireless
router. It must be hooked up to a cable modem, in order to work as a secured
Wi-Fi. So, that might be why Time Warner is giving you what you consider a
hard time. We receive Wi-Fi here in our RV park, but it is connected to a
larger system and I believe they use some kind of hot spot, like Verizon
offers for cell phones, but this is a little box that sits on a pole.
Supposedly there are three such hot spots in our park. We had to call the
company over the weekend, because we lost service, and yet our manager in the
store gas station, could get online. So, they reset the system, and we got
it back. Crazy. You can get a hot spot through Verizon, but it has limited
access i.e., gigabytes, that can use and I consider it to be expensive and
not that fast. It’s faster to have the modem through Time Warner and then
run your phone off a wireless router. If you have Verizon phone service,
call and talk to them and they’ll give you the scoop. It doesn’t work for
us, but maybe you don’t require the same access we do. My husband plays
games and so cable is best for us. I can’t wait to get to our new house for
that reason.

Oh I am going to get help packing. This new lady Victoria told me I was. And
she seems very nice. I think she was frustrated because I had the correct
information that you already had. She asked me if I knew the Wi-Fi code for
this apartment and I said no. I told her it was RCN but I didn't know it.
When I get home I would like to get Wi-Fi but I don't like how Time Warner is
conducting itself. I don't want their whole Internet package all I want is
Wi-Fi. I don't know how I'm going to sell get it but I sure would like to.
But that's the way the coast. I don't know why these companies won't let you
buy what you want. If you only want Wi-Fi you should be able to pay for it
but that's just my opinion. But I'm really glad I'm going home. But man I'll
tell you that bag of mail was heavy that I brought back. But that box of
cookies that was delivered to my apartment and like you and I'm going to have
to throw out. Because the Cheryl's cookies are made with no preservatives and
I talk to the lady at QVC and she told me know she told me not to eat them
because they been there since late June. She told me just to throw them out.
But they did refund my money. And I switch that stuff back home. The library
told me I could switch the stuff possibly on Friday before I leave. And that
should be enough time to switch it over. The one that's going to take the
longest is my homecare my medical insurance and the department of social
services to switch everything over. That's going to be a pain and then I'm
going to have to switch my landline to Verizon and I don't know how long
that's going to take either. It might take a couple of days I don't know. But
hey I'm sure going to be glad to be going back into my familiar neighborhood
Ryan know where everything is. But you know what this was an educational
experience and away. I guess I had high expectations of making a lot of
friends over year and it just didn't happen. Oh well I guess you live and
learn.

Great news! It’s been pretty tough on you being away from home and having to
deal with your surgery and therapy and other issues not favorable for anyone
without medical issues. Take care and hope you get lots of help packing.
Sounds like maybe management might be a little better too. Hopefully
things are looking up for you.

Oh we can get some huge snowstorm sometimes. But the really good aboutss
getting rid of it. Anyway today I went back to my building and I voted.
Then I went and I got all my old mail going back to when I left. So that
was pretty good. Then that bag was heavy when I brought it back. Thank you
Agnes for a cab. I took a cab both ways it wasn't that expensive. But hey
what can you do. Anyway I'm going home on the first. The moving people are
coming here to pack up my stuff. The lady that called me when I left your
voicemail call me back and she said I was going back on the first. Then
she called me back and she asked me what the intercom code was for the
apartment and I gave her a pic gave it to her. Apparently the lady that
worked there before messed everything up and gave her the wrong intercom
code from my apartment. She asked me if that was my phone number and I
said yes. She didn't know what the Wi-Fi password for because nobody gave
them to her for this apartmentso I'm in the proce
of switching stuff back over. It's a library told me I didn't have to
do that until Friday the weekend I'm leaving. So that was OK because I
called them today. I have to call my
