Verizon! Wifi issue! And your data plan!

Kids! 

I just got off the phone with Verizon, because I was going through data much faster than usual. After several minutes of convincing them it wasn't my fault and that there may be a problem they said, oh well, you coooould talk to a tech person. I did and it turns out there is a Known problem with iPhone 5 that the wifi drops regularly and when it does it uses your data minutes! From what I can tell it sounds like all iPhone 5 are effected (only 5's, not 4's, I asked). If you went over your data plan in Jan and maybe even in Dec '12 call them to get that credit and they will walk you through restoring your iPhone to fix the problem. Updating your iPhone to the latest software will not solve the issue!

Ok, hope that helps!

Downton Abbey tonight and a similar replacement.

Lord help us, tonight is a two hour episode of one of the most watched TV show in the world (Is that really true, Grandad?), Downton Abbey. Anne did just tell me the tragic news that there are only 2 episodes left this season. I'm sorry my love. Hee hee.  Thankfully, we have starting up on Wednesday (2/13/13) a new season of a tv show to fill that ever so tender void to-be once DA is off the air until next year. It's called SouthLand. It's about a family of uniform peace keepers who work together to bring peace and harmony to a small city in need of hope and comfort. You all should check it out! TNT 10PM EST. Catch up online! LINK. I miss Sybil. ;0)

Weather update. A ok in Queens.

Saturday February 9, 2013
9:30 AM

We ended up with about 4" of snow in Jackson Heights, Queens. As far as we can tell no one lost power in this area. Long Island and Boston seem to have gotten hit hard with A LOT of snow. We had a cozy warm night, but by 5am the snow plows were making a ton of noise. :0(. Not complaining, just commenting. There are many gas stations in our area that are out of gas, because people were afraid that this storm would be worse and power outages would create something similar to Hurricane Sandy levels. Thankfully the worst is probably over. The sun is already taking a peek! We're considering postponing r's bday for a snow day in Central Park!! Here's a quick video from out our 6th floor co-op apt at 7am this morning.

Here's a quick video of the snow falling in our area of Queens. at 9:46 pm its not falling as strong. Hmm. Blizzard? They say now that the bulk of it will fall over night. Anne (our in-house meteorologist)is disappointed that it will likely only be closer to 6" of snow tomorrow morning. We shall soon see!

Snowing! The Blizzard of February 2013!

Friday 2/8/13

Snowing! 
Expecting 10" in next 24 hours. Emergency alert was sent yesterday to our phones around 3p. City is ready today. Buses and trains are running. School has not been cancelled and I'm on my way to work. Thankfully it's a warm 35F! Nice! Wish I could wear shorts to work. :0(

You know, it used to be that we could say remember the big Storm in '99? Now they happen so often we have to specify the month and the year! Ha! 

Chances that we may go get to play in Central Park has now gone up to 35%, but that would mean postponing r's party. Hmm. The show must go on or at least as long as the trains are running anyway.
