I haven't been writing, cause I am a "Christmas Grinch"!! I'm sick of everyone here.. sick. Sick!! SICK!!! to death of you ALL!!!!

Kidding.. lol. The damn modem took a dump last week. The week before Christmas (when I need it most). The fairly new ATT DSL modem dies. That's the only reason I haven't written.

So we called ATT tech. Was on the phone for hours. They said they would send a new Modem (free), but it could take up to 10 days. Roxann was like "We have a business, we need it NOW". Those bastards could overnight the thing, but wouldn't unless we paid $60 for a tech dude to come out. Freaking scam to me.. we didn't do that.

We did however have a few modems here. We just needed one, but needed them to change some settings (their end) to get it to work. After countless calls, and countless hours talking to Pakistanis, Egyptians, and a few young white Americans, we finally found a foreign tech dude that understood "English" enough to help. So we had to make some changes to get it working, but does now.

The problem is,, the modems we had are for "1" computer only. That means,, We can either hook up hers, or hook up mine. Well you know who wears the "pants" around here.. you know who will get the main "computer use".. It's "Roxann"!!! .. so basically, I am stuck without a computer on internet (except brief emails and such), till our new modem comes.. which can make both work.

I am so sorry I didn't get a chance to blog-email peeps here to wish a "Merry Christmas". I just couldn't.

Our Christmas was good. Better then I thought. I am really not a "Baaa Humbug" guy, but I admit Christmas does stress me. I guess I just don't like dealing with the "inlaws" family, or dealing with "my family", or dealing with my ex's (and also their family). One on one, I am fine with everyone.. but entire families??!!.. lol Ironically, I do however like dealing with "Beer".. because to tell the truth.. I know most everyone in these family get togethers don't like going "sober". Sure, some of the women will be sober... but never really a MAN in the place that stays completely sober (Unless they are 90, and have too.. but they are "out of it anyway"). So we all "loosen up"... the men talk together.. if the women complain, we don't care. We're buzzed.. and have backing. So I guess it's a decent way to get some "free" stuff.. and decent food.

I've been calling my ex who has my kids all day. I am pissed she hasn't got back with me. I don't know if there is a reason or not, but we usually get along. I need to set up a day to have their Christmas here (with Sebastian and Roxann's two kids). She will probably call later.. but I hate how she does things. We gots lots for them, and I can't wait to see them.

Talked to my dad in Florida. He is in Ft. Lauderdale right now. They have some "Time Shares" down there (with 3 pools and alot). So.. it's like 82 degrees right now,, they will be getting out the boats tomorrow and going to the "Bahamas" (Which he does alot). Sure dad.. nice thing to say on "Christmas" when we have a foot and half of snow... lol. No, dad is "cool", but he does do everything he can to "entice me" to go there. Just when I get there (like I did for 3 years), I don't get the real help to establish what I need. Not my way anyway.. but he does want to help us come down for a visit...

My dad somehow got ahold of my ex (who my son and daughter) live with. He told me news I don't know. My daughter Michelle got some "scholarship" to a gifted school or something just recent. Paid for by a major college. Trust me folks.. my kids are SMART! I don't know all the details yet.. but am looking forward to hearing. Heck.. just last year my son Derek was on the TV debates last year.. and pretty much carried his HS team.. Anyway, I won't go on all that right now.. I'll just say I don't "produce" dumb kids..

Ok, gotta get off of here. Still got some people coming over (Christmas Day - now 8:22 PM). I'll be back to regular blogging as soon as the new modem comes in. So, if I miss ya.. "Happy New Year".. (too).. I do expect to be here regular before then tho..
