Our phone/ internet connection isn't going to be turned off!
:woohoo::jiggy::woohoo:

My mom was calling Qwest, who provides our service, and was explaining to the representative that we were having to cancel our service. He began asking her if this was due to service issues, and my mom said no, that was never the problem, that it was simply due to financial reasons. He asked "Well, when you get your service turned on, would you consider using us as your provider?" (I'm assuming he meant the company and was not referring to himself in the plural.) My mom said yes, that that was exactly what we'd been planning to do.

The person typed things into his computer for awhile (while making small talk with my mom) and finally said "How about this?" He said that the company would be willing to pay for the month of January, and that would give us a month to give us time to save up to pay off our past due balance. (I will be enough time, too!)

Everyone has been so incredibly supportive of me, and I was feeling very distressed at the thought of not being able to 'connect' with everyone here every day, which is why I'm even more overjoyed at being able to keep the service on. You guys bring me laughter, kindness, and thought-provoking questions (and question-provoking thoughts, too!). I cannot thank you enough for wishing me well and helping to cheer me up during what might have been a dark time, otherwise.

I could not ask for a better internet family.

This is better than you could possibly realize Feathers! We were all going to miss you so much, and now we don't have to! This is the greatest news I've heard since the beginning of January (literally)! :woohoo::woohoo::woohoo:

Yay Qwest and that customer service rep! I'm glad you'll be here with us, Feathers.

*hugs everyone happily* Thanks for your kind wishes, prayers, spells, and/ or good energy guys! (Or perhaps, in the direct case of some of our more direct members who prefer not to believe in such things, calling and threatening the phone company, hehee!)

Wow, thats great. You should send that representative a fruit basket or something. That was wonderful of the company to do that for you. I'm so excited that you aren't leaving. I'm gonna go bake some cookies now just because I'm in the mood for cookies now. YAY!!!!!

Feathers, I do believe this is the perfect time for us to dance an overjoyed, happy-go-lucky, heathen dance, is it not?

What a progessive concept!! Take a smaller hit on current recievables to insure larger future sales. Yikes if anybody else catches wind of this the collection industry is gonna be in a world of hurt! I am glad you are still with us.

(I agree, Robtex. I thought it was great idea, and not only because I was benefitting from the situation. It's so much better to 'invest' in having positive word-of-mouth.)

Joins in the happy heathen dance as to be expected from the Priestess of Valeneastmas.

I'm happy for us. A tragedy averted, a tear not shed, a soul still with us - an incredibly kind soul.
