Customer Service and BUGS

How difficult is it to get ahead? My mother in law told me when she first got married they lived on 50 dollars a month and still had money for vacations. What has our society sold their happiness for? Insurance, loans, and credit cards. I stayed on the phone for 4 hours today trying to figure out my student loans and how to consolidate them. I talked to a number of "customer service" agents and they all told me different things. I had to pour a glass of red wine to unwind my neck muscles from being on hold for so long.

While I was on the phone I perused the tabloid websites. Pam Anderson drives a 500,000 dollar car. I am way hotter than she is, I just don't take my clothes off for money. Priorities seem really screwy to me. I have a Master's to safeguard the children of our future and she teaches them to look like hoochies. WOW.

One customer service agent for a unnamed cable service asked me why I was discontinuing my service. I told her I was moving far far away where there is no cable or phone service. She asked, (In a foreign accent I could barely understand)" For how long will you be away"? I told her "FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE". I don't even mind that my cell phone doesn't work out here. I know it drives my mom and my friends nuts. But, it feels great not to be a slave to modern conveniences.

On a lighter note. There are bugs here. A lot of bugs here. Small bugs, big bugs, angry bugs, spiders that make you scream they are so big. I am not kidding. Exterminators don't drive out this far. So, I will have to use natural hippie remedies. I think dish washing soap works.

While I was cooking dinner I saw a black spider emerge from his milky white cocoon. It was on my kitchen wall. I come from the philosophy that that spider could be my great grandfather reincarnated..so I didn't murder him. A tick spider had a web under my bar. Kyle simply caught him and threw him outside. I had a cricket chirping under my bed this morning. We have 4 cats and one is preggers. So I assume the bug population will go down as the month progresses. They keep the rattlesnakes away from the house...or would that be the roosters that keep the rattlers away?
