What the good lord giveth...

...Rogers taketh away.

I came home yesterday, and automatically reached for the remote and hit channel 52, only to be greeted by snow. I tried channel 51, and it was still snowing. Aghast at the thought of no food tv, I began testing all the other channels, and found them to be in tact.

I suppose it's a small consolation that it's taken Rogers Cable seven years to clue into the fact that we've been getting all the extra channels without paying. The question now is whether they'll present us a seven-year bill if we call to actually subscribe. I'm afeared of trying.

And in another case of Real Simple magazine reading my mind, there was a story about ethics in there, and it's true: I'm a cable thief, and even though the mistake was the cable company's, I should still volunteer to pay them for all the money I owe them. Well, that's not going to happen, but I consider myself properly chastized.

Speaking of Real Simple, you really should subscribe to it. It's a fantastic magazine.

You could just phone in and ask to upgrade to the package you want.

I read that same story in Real Simple. Love that magazine. I want my life to look like their magazine.
