My Directv Saga
So, I have had directv for a few years, and never before has this ever come up~
In october we got a new television that is HD, so~we decided to upgrade to the HD DVR reciever~which cost us $300.00. Little did I know, until today, we dont own this reciever. Now, NOT ONE PERSON told this to us at the time of sale, apparently, it's $300.00 to have a guy bring it over and plug it in and the rest is a "leaseing cost". So, I tried to cancel, as we have had NOTHING but issues with this reciever and have had it replaced once already, had tech support on the phone countless times and techs over at the house, but they want me to give them the $300 reciever plus $270 on top of that. I cannot understand how they can run a business this way. I called comcast and they only charge $14.95 for the same damn thing! And, make it very apparent to you that this is a LEASE not a purchase. Directv is no longer allowing anyone to keep any recievers, so this is a way for them to trap you, so even when your contract is over~you have to give back all of the equipment you were under the impression that you purchased it. I went online and tried to find it anywhere on the website that its a lease and not a purchase and I couldnt find it anywhere. How can they do this to people? SO, I am stuck with them, and I hate it!!!!!

Creepy Today
Creepy Today
Have you ever had one of those days where your own skin feels foreign to you? I have been full of anxiety today and just straight up feeling weird. Im pulling at my pants and bra straps and hair and ugh, I feel icky and strange.
Don't really have anything else to add to that.

New Diary look
Wow, it's been a long time since I have written. I hope all my former entries are not lost forever, there is some nice memories in there.
Anyway, things have stressful this week. My landlord is being a total jerk as well as my new neighbor. He moved in like 3 weeks ago and he hates noise of any kind so he has been complaining to my landlord and I got a call the other
day about it- which totally threw me off as I thought we were really mellow and quiet. I put in my 30 day notice because of the way he approached me, he did it in a very accusatory manner and when you don't come into a situation wanting to find the truth about the situation first, and have basically made up your mind, how can I even get you to listen to my point of view? I just thought for my own health and sanity I should move, now comes the expenses of that. I guess I should of thought about that before I shot my mouth off and said, "I will be out by the end of the month!".
Dear dear dear.....
I need a prayer....
