good thread for those of us who havent left cable yet.
sorry I messed up the mood the other night. Public apologies to crws and RMI. I was out of line and out to lunch too. jp and I talked and we discovered I had misinterpreted something she said a long time ago-which meant I thought the joking bothered her much more than it actually did. My support was unnecessary and based on my misunderstanding why she was upset. apologies to all. I'll do a little more looking before I leap in, in future.
No need to apologize. Everyone here seems to speak in parables so it's hard to get the gist of the conversation.
For those that are unclear as to what took place and why I was angry....let me give you the short version in plain English...
1. I told RMI I get cable at a discount of under $70 a month
2. RMI said, "are you sleeping with them?"
3. I laughed, because it was funny, I said "No, my husband is in cable, he gets employee discount."
4. crws replies to RMI's quote [are you sleeping with them] with "RMI, you were right."
5. I got angry. Naturally, I am not sleeping with the cable company in order to secure a discount. NOT FUNNY!
6. crws points out that my husband is in Cable, thus proving RMI was right after all...
7. But then I got to thinking, hey, I am not the one getting the discount, my husband is, which makes it look like my husband is sleeping around to get a discount...that was a tables turned sort of joke....and totally not true.
I am sure you all now have a clear understanding of the whole ordeal and how it all went totally south...like Mexico south!
I'm cool. Can we all just get along now?
