Steve:I was really dpnpiaoisted to see that Eaton discontinued the broadband service for HHB. I now have an installation of the product (with a lot of sensors) in my house that will not notify me if there is a water leak, etc. I was searching for alternatives and came across your blog. Anyway you know of to make the base station dial my cell phone directly vs. the service line that Eaton had setup for it to call home' back to them? Or any way that I can have the broadband gateway talk to a web service that I can use to notify me via SMS, etc? Was hoping you might have some thoughts on the subject. Any comments back are appreciated.Thanks,Hunter

Just be advised, if you coctnat any of those creditors, you'll be waking up a sleeping giant. Pay them off one at a time, and let the others lie until you are ready for them. Pay off the smallest to largest, regardless of the interest rate. If they are closed accounts and you're not getting collections calls, then you can settle for pennies on the dollar. NEVER give them electronic access to your checking account. Set up a payment plan, get it in writing before sending any money, and pay by money order. Don't let them berate you into doing anything that you're not comfortable doing. Approach them with a written budget. That way, you'll be able to show them what you can afford to pay, based on real numbers.

Bill nails it! Would love to hear more of this type of rational thikning. Too many Americans are living with their heads in the dirt! Our biggest threat isn't a misguided president and congress. our biggest threat is the electorate that put these officials into office! keep charging Bill. Maxwell, CDR, USN (Ret)

No one should have given me a credit card. I'll only use it for expensive dinners and rare vinyl. God help me if I could ever pay it back.

When I was about 19 I worked in a convalescent home. I did the usual everyday take care of people who can't do stuff on their own and I didn't mind doing it. I felt good to be able to help others in need. My confession starts with one little tiny lady who was maybe 38 and severely mentally challenged. (Nice way of saying..RETARDED!) I will never forget her or her face. I was so impatient and mean to her that I will never ever forgive myself. I remember pushing her down the hall telling her to hurry up. I pushed her down on her bed and she sat and laughed at me being mean to her like it was all a joke. I was completely impatient with her whereas I was always kind and sweet and patient with EVERYONE else. Shirley just pushed my buttons, and even more, I thought she did it on purpose. I knew she didn't because she couldn't even tell you what a ball was, but damn if there wasn't a hint of payback in her black little eyeballs. She always took longer than anyone else because she had to do stuff her own way, and I always had a million things to do. She was combative with everyone including her own family, who never came to visit her, and everyone just let her pinch them or hit them and would laugh it off. "Oh that silly Shirley". But that shit pissed me off! One night I was helping her into bed and pulling up her covers and she pinched me so hard tears came to my eyes. I screamed at her and told her to stop it then not 20 seconds later, she did it again. *hangs head in shame* I then turned her over on spanked her little ass 5 times, pretty hard. She never cried or got mad or anything. She just mumbled out a "we don't do that Shirley" and shook her little finger at me. I felt awful. I cried the whole way home and have never once told anyone about it. I know when I die and see her again I am going to GET IT! Thing is, I will deserve anything she throws at me. I never did anything to her after that night...I was always polite and
patient, but I do feel bad that I took out my agression of the situation on her.

Last confession of my days in the convalescent center...One little old lady who was basically dying and didn't know up from down sat in the same bed for at least 8 months. I felt so sorry for her. No family came to see her ever. No friends. She didn't even have a roommate. I would go in on my days off and sit and talk to her. ('TO' because she coudln't talk back) Read her books, sing or just watch tv with her. I just really felt bad for her, and got a little attached. When her last days were getting close you could see it in her face and in her body. Some of her family started to come in to make sure they were there when she died...so before they all came that last time, I went in and took her wedding ring off her finger. I put it in my pocket and kept it there all the way out to my car. I don't know what possessed me to take it, and no one ever asked for it. I feel so bad for stealing it. I think eventually I finally pawned it in for a couple hundred bucks, but I still wonder if anyone ever even cared or knew it was gone.

At New Years party I decided to make my move on the host's boyfriend. He was half drunk and trying to go to sleep in one room and the girlfriend still going strong with the party. I went into her room, put on her silk cami, sprayed myself with her perfume, and confidently went into the room the boyfriend was sleeping. In the dark, him drunk, we wearing her clothes and smelling like her I thought it was an easy deal to close. It wasn't he noticed immediately. I begged him not to say anything, thinking he would demand a bj for silence at least. Needless to say, I now have one less friend this morning, a huge headache, and no sexual release.

Even though I love my boyfriend sometimes I feel like I'm trapped in the relationship because he has done so much for me. If I ever wanted to leave and he didn't I don't think I would be able because I would feel like a horrible person.

I once sold my scale to my dealer. His was broken and on the fritz. I then proceeded to smoke him down so hard that he forgot he bought it. I took the scale back home and was 40 dollars richer.

I was so mad at a teacher once that I poured an entire bottle of Karo syrup in the gas tank of his new Cadillac. He went out on stress shortly thereafter.

I am in love with a stripper. She rarely charges me for dances anymore and we have had sex away from the club several times. She says she would stop stripping if I could supplement her income in a similar manner. I filled out the paperwork to take a loan from my 401K a few days ago to pay for everything.

I use the self-scan line at the grocery store to steal.
When I buy an expensive veggie like asparagus or sugar snap peas, I use the
'4066' code (green beans). I have never been caught. I have probably saved tens of dollars.
Also, I once got busy in a Burger King bathroom.

I never tip my waiter/waitress. I mean ever. I always just leave. Today at lunch, I had cash but told the waiter I was going to pay with credit card. When I paid, I just left. No tip.

I don't feel bad about it either. I just sent this confession because I thought it might stir up something interesting.

Everytime I get money, I skim some off the top and hide if from my girlfriend. Sometimes 20, sometimes 40 dollars.
I use it to buy food. Hot dogs. Soda. Things she says I can't have, so I do it at work.
That way, she's can see evidence.
Except, I've gained 10 lbs, and my jeans don't fit anymore.

So now I just buy really expensive smoothies.

my boyfriend punched a hole in a door. This is on top of the broken handle, cracked sink top, dented fridge, and other holes in the wall he has also made. We are 4 months into our year lease. I don't think we are getting our $720 deposit back.

my bank card was declined. When I called the bank to ask why, they told me it was frozen for an "unusual charge." Apparently I can spend hundreds of dollars in a bar two towns away, but five dollars worth of gas in my home town is "suspicious".

I have really bad ass acne. Like, REALLY bad ass acne. Both my ass cheeks are covered with pimples some just red bumps some are puss filled some hurt some don't. I wash my ass every day I change my underwear every day but the acne won't go away. Every where else on my entire body is perfectly clear, just my ass is covered in acne. WTF! I'm thinking of trying Pro-active on my ass.....you know the acne soap Jeaaica Simpson endorses.
