It is the monopolistic nature of the cable industry, and in particular, Cablevision, that I abhore. It should be cheaper, the "anytime between 8 AM and 9 PM" service calls are cruel, they lie about problems with your reception (now the image freezes whenever I and others here change stations for about 3 seconds - they deny any problem), their contracting out of service calls to untrained outside vendors, their unwillingness to customize what channels we can buy, at a reasonable price, more in tune with our tastes, and their open disdain for their customers. I love cable television; just have someone else in charge.<BR/><BR/>I also collect my change and periodically have a nice deposit. The penny simply seems so useless. Stores seem mad when you give them pennies, vending machines will not take them, Abe already has the five dollar bill, and I am told the penny costs more to make than it is worth.<BR/><BR/>Some elaboration there for ya'!STPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18010661731570038007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3460077998869234907.post-52521688382626442562009-01-15T21:17:00.000-05:002009-01-15T21:17:00.000-05:00i know i would be lost without cable,, as i only e...i know i would be lost without cable,, as i only ever really watch turner classic movies......<BR/><BR/>and all those pennies, nickles dimes quarters??? i save every single one i get all year long and pay a years worth of car insurance with them once a year in march..... so while i think you are right about them being a waste,,, i still make good use of them...<BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>everything else tho,,, yep,,, call the bomb squad.....paisleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08231453820728399262noreply@blogger.com
