Yesterday, on my 47th call to Comcast in the last 5 weeks, I talked to a tech support person who slowed her speech patiently to deal with a deaf person over the phone; spoke fluent English, and...
did NOT insist, "IT'S AT THE OTHER END!!!!"
Thank YOU, NINA!!!!
Creepy Halloween Reading!
The young survivor of a mass murder, Gina Adams, believes she’s being

What would you do if you uncovered evidence of a 70-year-old murder? Would you notify the authorities or would you “let sleeping dogs lie?” These are questions that Cathy Billings must answer in Go Tell Aunt Rhody.
Finding someone like Nina to talk to is quite rare indeed. A lot of "help" representatives appear to live in India. I know most speak fluent English, but they put their own accent on it and when you don't hear well...bad combination.
