We have broadband internet in our home on Howard Ridge ! So-SO nice to have access to the world wide web without having to travel. I visited the operating headquarters of the SouthCentral Indiana Rural Electric Membership Co-op (aka: SCI-REMC) on Tuesday morning. Explained our situation: request made June 1st, was told 3-4 weeks lead time. called back for status at the end of June, called again the week before we moved on July 12th, called again at the end of July, etc. At one point, I was addressing four employees who had been summoned to the lobby. I was friendly, spoke calmly, smiled, and asked a lot of difficult questions. Finally, one of them got on a computer behind the service counter in the lobby. She got our account activated and an installation appointment setup for Thursday. Note: I had a similar experience with SCI-REMC getting the main power to the house last Fall. In other news: the ice maker stopped working on our new refrigerator. Called customer service, and they said a technician would be out to see us within 5-7 business days. On the 7th day, they sent an email and said “parts were not available, would we accept a $500 concession”. My reply: uhhhhhh… NO. no thank you. not acceptable. If you can’t repair the fridge we have, then bring us another one and haul this one away. More to this story. and finally for this week’s summary of our adventures: this my second week of physical therapy to correct a “frozen shoulder” or…. adhesive capsulitis. I have a very sore right shoulder with limited range of movement. near constant pain. the shoulder started giving me trouble midway through construction. did what I could to limit right shoulder involvement, but using only my left arm was impractical. I thought I was in pain before physical threapy began, but this is torture ! They tell me my range of movement is improving – I think they are blowing smoke up my ass, but will continue for 5 more weeks.
