Rant on. I am right at the limit on my monthly internet (20 Gb) They will probably shut my account down shortly. It will restart tomorrow on the first of the month. Verizon suddenly refused to renegotiate with our provider. Verizon’s greed knows no bounds. They doubled our monthly bill when they took over. $100 for internet and I can’t even watch TV shows or movies – seriously? I live in the middle of nowhere. It is overpriced wifi or nothing. Rant off.
So this morning I mixed some organic green tea powder with 2% milk and added a splash of caramel syrup (zero calories) and a half splash vanilla syrup. I got them in the coffee/tea section at Walmart. Have so say, it is pretty tasty. It is not quite Starbucks but it is as close as I have gotten. Also have to say that as cheap as this green tea powder is, it is close enough. Basically the only calories are in the 2% milk. I try to start my day with a glass of milk. I usually use chocolate syrup. I think I like this better, which is good because I have like 5 ounces of green tea powder. I do miss the vivid green of Starbucks – this is more clay colored – but I’ll get over it.
See you on the first. Stupid Verizon.

I wonder how much internet I use. I rarely get to say this, but thank the stars for NS and unlimited internet. For now. I’m sure Eastlink and Aliant will get on the gravy train soon too. See you in May! :)
I am sorry. We got seriously burned by verizon one too many times.
We got rid of them a year ago (we also live in a rural area without many choices) but, it got to the point where anything else was better than Verizon.
We have one provider choice only also. Evidently, people who do not live in urban areas need no connectivity :P
Well I’m back. Our provider is Millenicom which was a great bargain for Wifi until Verizon messed us over. Our neighborhood phone lines won’t support DSL. In fact I could never get anywhere near good dial up speed. So until competition moves into the area we are stuck. sigh. I need tea.

Yuck, that’s awful! (Verizon, not the tea).
Friends who have Verizon were shut off the same day. My son got it a couple days earlier. Kind of wish I weren’t so addicted.
