However, every time I think it's going to stay down... it goes up a bit again. They say that since most people have now had the vaccine or have gotten the virus, it should ease up.

I can't imagine. I have an amish cherry tomato that grows six feet tall and produces continually throughout the summer. If you want some seeds, I'd be glad to send them to you. It might make a nice thing to grow n a planter if you have a sunny place for them.Debbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09531125606268748793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3721950935860033351.post-91214972157588984072022-02-17T20:14:33.219-05:002022-02-17T20:14:33.219-05:00Those Mortgage Lifters are all they promise and mo...Those Mortgage Lifters are all they promise and more. The first year we planted them they grew over six feet tall, produced tomatoes that needed to hands to pick and tasted fabulous.

It happens with every 15 second check, you see the maybe, followed by the result of the check. Ours goes green, yellow, green yellow, red, yellow red, yellow red, etc. (remember I have mine set to check every five seconds, which is how I discovered that the connection is actually sort of 'flickering'.)Debbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09531125606268748793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3721950935860033351.post-5421147312612205902022-02-17T17:34:58.092-05:002022-02-17T17:34:58.092-05:00I don't where your call centres are located bu...I don't where your call centres are located but ours are NOT in Australia - usually India or the Philippines. We had exactly same issues as you when my mother in law's phone went out. We ended up taking to our telecommunication ombudsman who at least got us a return call from India. It took 6 weeks to resolve the problem with hours spent on the phone every day. At least Tim will have something to occupy him when you're away. How is he dealing with call centres?sparklingmerlothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12600695778999486566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3721950935860033351.post-1820707037651372212022-02-17T17:11:44.390-05:002022-02-17T17:11:44.390-05:00We don't really have internet problems but I w...We don't really have internet problems but I was looking at the internet working site and of course it was green but I saw an orange flash that said Maybe.

Yep, one gave me their direct phone. She said the exact opposite of what corporate would tell me.<br /> I was lucky to move to my son's plan, Verizon. My son and I had to go to an in-store place 4 times to get my AT&T account settled and get our correct cancel deals. He was so livid that cute little AT&T people would try to short-change his Mom. I think they honored their agreement (my son had printed out the chat/texts too,) because they knew we'd be persistent. We've had no trouble with Verizon and they were very helpful with that phone change and a subsequent one, gently transferring data and call lists from one phone to the newer one, all in the store. <br />I will never have AT&T anything in the future. You almost need an attorney to get out from them. 4 years later, I occasionally get texts from them about how I can save money on my account, when I don't have one.<br /> Good Luck, Linda in KansasDrumMajorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10679737233239733492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3721950935860033351.post-31442371835355767232022-02-17T12:24:41.742-05:002022-02-17T12:24:41.742-05:00I'm looking forward to reading about your fort...I'm looking forward to reading about your forthcoming trip.northsider https://www.blogger.com/profile/00716743611909673869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3721950935860033351.post-55166212705252237512022-02-17T12:16:25.682-05:002022-02-17T12:16:25.682-05:00That would be the solution, AC.

(My ware are no firmer, which was disappointing). The issue is the signal coming in. According to tech number two, he had come from our neighbor's house to deal with the same issue. Based on the complaints I saw online, this is something that is pretty widespread. There were hundreds of complaints, Steve. Hard telling how many they had deleted. <br /><br />Pixie, not leaving tomorrow, but NEXT Friday. <br /><br /><br /><br />Debbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09531125606268748793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3721950935860033351.post-56850239937731542312022-02-17T11:22:02.585-05:002022-02-17T11:22:02.585-05:00Thanks for the photo of the black orange.
