I thought my happiest moment was when I got my mom to sign-up for a Yahoo! email account (she had avoided it for years... but finally succumbed maybe 4 years ago)....
I hate talking on the phone... to anyone (really its not Personal :P). I possibly hate it more than I hate Potluck Bitch. Email is my go to form of communication, but with my upgrade to the BlackBerry I have been becoming a fan of texting and IM (but I have been doing that for a while for work etc....). So if I can get some phone conversations eliminated due email (or txting) I am a happy camper! Now when my parents go away on vacation instead of the "We Made it!" call, I'll get a "We made it!" email.
(Don't believe me?.... I have the least amount of talk minutes available in a plan = 450. I have never broken 200 minutes in a month and am usually closer to 150 - and I do no have a landline in my house.)
Jump to last week... the ringtone on my BlackBerry plays that lets me know I've got an incoming IM. I checked the name. It was my mom! Yahoo! started embedding their chat program in their email page (like Google) and my mom saw me online and just sent me a quick note hoping that I was having a good day. :D
Today she IM'd me again... and we actually had a real back and forth chat!!! woohoo! :-)

Yay!! One step closer to FIOS installation!
Verizon laid the cable at the end of March along the main road leading to my subdivision. Last night I had my HOA meetinng and FIOS installation was on the agenda (Because I put it there! :P). Once Verizon begins officially offering the service they will need to send the installation schema to the management company and then the board will need to approve.
The FIOS tv offering looks to be great (especially the HD channnels), but now that Comcast fixed my servide problems with a new dvr/cablebox ( with dual tuner!) I am not as in as much of a hurry to switch ( except to get away from Comcast's excessive pricing!) especially now that Comcast announced they are adding Food Network and HGTV in HD on Aug 10!
I am mainly waiting for a good Verizon bundle that offers FIOS tv and internet along with broadband/VOIP phone service, so that I disconnect my Verizon landline service and then I get to have the fun of cancelling Vonage.
