There's a burger joint in Torrance that has ostrich burgers. :mrgreen:

Bound to be better than turkey! :hehe:

Not sure about that: the ostrich burger I had was rather dry, even with all the condiments... It wasn't gamey at all, surprisingly.

I dunno, you got a "free" turkey burger and it only cost $20. When I went in the Navy, I got a "free" peacoat and it cost me 4 years of my life.

Looks like you got a bargain. :P

That's dayem funny. A rational way to look at the issue.

Sounds inconceivably like the turkey burgers we were served. :hehe:
And only one each. She must have known we wouldnt want more.

Perfect description. :victory:

Finally decided to give Verizon a call because my internet speed has been really slow. Took an hour to get someone on the phone; nothing was solved. Transferred to someone else, again nothing was solved. I was on the phone for over 2 hrs only to be told they can't do anything, but yes my speed was really slow (no sh*t, why do you think I called :shakehead: ). I was told they would be testing my line for 24 hrs and they would call me in case they need to send a tech over. :grumble:

Wow. That's horrible service. Welcome to America.

If there were more ISPs, I would consider changing. But I'm stuck with Verizon.

I understand. Many people fiind themselves in a similar dilemma. I will say this...it's not the first time I've heard stories about Verizon's crappy customer service.

The up/down speed check is nice and there might be some tweaks to your hardware/software configuration that might help. :)

Thats is why I use AT&T for my phone service. All my friends complain about Verizon.

Me too. As much as ppl complain about AT&T's cellphone service (I used to be a customer), their residential telephone customer service is usually on point. I recently called them to haggle about the price of telephone/internet service...as a result I basically got a reduction of 20 bucks a month for the same exact service.

THeir customer service can't be beat. They have always done a price adjustment for any complaint Ive had. THat includes giving me a credit for $500 before because I misunderstood my plan. I felt it was not explained well enough.

Wow, now that's exceptional.

And I didnt even have to break out my favorite, "Now that is not acceptable" line either. ;)

American Express is the only other company that I can say Ive only had positive experiences with like that. I dispute about $600 a year worth of charges and they have always been taken off my bill no problem.
Including a charge for car repairs that didnt work.

In some areas, those choices aren't available... It's either one or the other. :sweat:

EDIT: I'm referring to land lines, not cell phone service...

Yeah that's the unfortunate truth.

I use digital for my land line.

No choices there? That stinks. :grumble:
