I will say, I've had Comcast for about 10 years now and this move was the first problem I've had with them. I've moved 3 other times and things were always installed/transferred right on time with no hassles. So, this was just kind of ridiculous. It was like 10 years worth of problems all rolled into 1 month!

I swear, are we allowed to kill our stupid relatives without going to jail!! My brother has been in charge of letting us know what is going on with our stepmother (terminally ill) and I called her today to talk and found out she died on Friday!! I just want to kill him, but then that wouldn't be fair to my stepmom.!

Unless he is dead too, in which case he should be forgiven. And maybe it can be a double funeral.

LOL, Juju, he is just a b*tthead!! FInally heard from him via email, no explanation for why not letting us know friday night, then proceeds to say he is planning the funeral for September 11th, to allow travel time. I swear, he is lucky he is not within reach! That is a Tuesday! Most people I know have to work and would be traveling on Friday night and wanting to return on Monday.

I wasn't close to my Stepmom, she became my stepmom when I was in my late 20's, and I haven't visited her much at all. Just kept in touch via mail and phone calls. I keep wondering if Brad (my brother) doesn't want some of us there. I don't really trust him with her estate, but she picked him as executor and I don't want or need anything from the estate. I have just always felt like he might be taking advantage of her.

Anyway, I am still mad at him and would snatch him bald-headed if I could get my hands on him easily.

Do you have other brothers/sisters? If so, what do they think? You might ask him why he chose a Tuesday if he didn't say why.

I do have other brothers, one we can't find (phone number and email are not working), the other hasn't said anythin. My sister thinks he is nuts as well. He said that Margaret told him what she wanted and who to contact. I don't know any of her friends and she doesn't have any living relatives, so I am just going to stay out of it. I will wait to see what the final day is and then see if I can go.

Today, a little old lady cut me off, then flipped me the bird. This happens a lot in my town, bad drivers everywhere, so I switched lanes and was cruising along next to her. I was LOL'ing so loud and saying to my mom "did you see what she just did? , the lady heard me because her windows rolled down, and proceeded to shake her fist at me and sling some harsh, if not outdated, curse words.

Which, of course, had me LOL'ing even harder and then got my mom laughing too. I wonder what happened to that lady in her life to make her such a grouch?!

Oy' some people.

Same thing has been happening to us for 30 years because of same name. I just got the other person's number and pass it on. Simple, no muss, no fuss way to take care of the situation.

Serate, if you don't know anything about the person except they used to have your number don't engage in conversation with the caller - just say "you have the wrong number". If it's a company ask them to update their records to remove your number. Eventually the calls reduce but it takes a while!

OG I'd love to get their new number and pass it on to the bill collectors they are running from. Normally I just say wrong number and hang up, but this guy called back 3 times in a row.

Kitt the companies will not update their records as they don't believe I am not XXXXX. They think I'm hiding from them. I cannot get any information as to even what company they are. I'm about ready to pretend I'm xxxxx so I CAN get information about them. OK so I won't really do that but it's been tempting.

Serate... We have the same problem as you, same dumb questions and it has been 5 years going on 6
Its mostly the same people and companies. A couple of times now, When they ask for XXXXXX I say, he is dead or he`s in jail, then hang up.
They never call back.

I'm not sure I would use the dead thing as we get actual family members calling to look for them. BUT the jail thing, now that could get interesting. Might actually get back to them and they might call and ask me why I said that and I could let them know. Thanks Sago!!!!!

Maybe just start giving these people random phone numbers when they call? "Oh, yeah, I know XXXX. She moved to 123 Fake Street. Her new number is 555-1234."

Voila. Someone else's problem now, LOL.
