A Problem With Pryia

Timothy Price48 Comments

I started working on a post almost two hours ago. I was having trouble moving photos around. I tested my Internet speed, and while the download speed was normal for WiFi at 750 Mbps, my upload speed, which is normally 40 Mbps, was only 0.22 Mbps. I restarted my modem, but that didn’t help. I went to the troubleshooting bot, and it only tests download speeds, but after 30 minutes of doing whatever it does, the bot said it found some problems with my configuration, but couldn’t fix them and gave up.

I got back on and finally got on a live chat with Pryia after 15 minutes of typing “Chat with live person,” “Live chat,” “Real person” between the bot asking if I wanted to change my question. I told Pryia my problem, she tested my modem and said she had to reprovision my modem, add some new features to my service, and it would only cost me $10 a month more than I pay now. I said no, and she typed “let me explain for you…” I tried to explain why she needed to reprovision my modem and increase my monthly bill. I said no, again, and that I would check to see if there were any new services in the area I could switch to before I made a decision that would increase the monthly bill of my current service. Then I typed, “In the meantime, you need to fix my upload speed!”

She said she understood, changed her tone of writing, and asked how my day was going while she worked on the problem. I told her it was great until my upload speed went to hell and I couldn’t upload photos. In an attempt to appear nicer, she asked how my new year was, how my family was, how work was, etc., with all kinds of smiley and heart emojis. In the end, it took about 30 seconds for her to fix the problem. Why she couldn’t have simply done that from the start instead of giving a bunch of scammy BS trying to increase my monthly payments really pissed me off. After all that, I ran out of steam to post more photos.

Crescent Moon and Venus were in the Tangle Heart Tree tonight.

The above video is of cranes landing on the opposite side of the Rio Grande and then wading into the river at the end of the video. Turn up the volume so you can hear the cranes.

Twenty Twenty-Five

Marble peeking out to see if Twenty Twenty-five looks safe!

Jeez, you all! Twenty Twenty-five kinda looks the same as 2024!

Belafonte danced in celebration of Twenty-Twenty-five.

Silver: Twenty-twenty-five? I think I feel that way in kitty age!

Glenda: I thought it was Twenty Twenty-five & Six Two Four or something like that?

Jack Sparrow had something to say about Twenty Twenty-five, but he forgot what it was.

Spunk: It’s Twenty Twenty-five, and what do we all get? Another year older and a whole lot of crap!

Marble: Twenty Twenty-five seems sorta safe now that the poor old, pathetic, poopy patrol paparazzo and the other bipeds have eaten their black-eyed peas!

Jake: Twenty Twenty-five? Does that mean more T&A*?

Hanging Paintings On The Wall

Timothy Price42 Comments

Sunrise.

One of the most significant things I’ve done, besides playing with birds, Jake, and the cats, during my Christmas vacation, is that I picked up three large paintings from Tristan’s house and took them to the office. Laurie painted them years ago. I hung two 4X6 foot (122 X 183 cm) paintings in the open work area where there is a drop ceiling. I have hardware that allows me to hang the paintings from the ceiling rails. The two walls large enough for the 6X9 foot (183 X 274 cm) painting do not have drop ceilings. Therefore, once we decide where to hang the larger painting, I will have to use brackets to hang it. I put the large painting on the couch and shelf in the foyer, leaning on the wall we could hang it on, until we decide where we will hang it.

The 6X9-foot (183 X 274 cm) painting. The painting would be hung about a foot above the couch and shelf if we hang it on this wall. The ceiling is over 13 feet (4 meters) high in the foyer.

The frumpy man in his running cap, Laurie thinks he looks like a freak. Jake after our morning run. He had a hard time keeping up at a 10-minute-per-mile pace.
