My East Ky

Looks like the 3 Doors Down Concert has been rescheduled for December 9th @ 6:30. But not with Finger Eleven or Hinder. Looks like they will be performing with SwitchFoot and American Bang. Seems like a bait and switch to me and I would definetly be wanting a refund. Glad I did not buy tickets.

So I went to the Floyd County Times website today and noticed a new “peel away” advertisement in the top right hand corner for Inter Mountain Cable. Being as I always like to stretch my dollar I figured I would browse there site to see what they have to offer. I was shocked at their prices for DSL service as well as prices for their cable and VOIP services. The cheapest available DSL service they offer is 256k/256k with a price of $24.95 a month, that’s hardly considered broadband in my book. Their top of the line DSL package is 6mb/1mb for a low $229.95 a month! That is unreal; do they actually have people subscribing to this package? If so they are complete suckers.

The TV packages they offer are just ridiculous add $10 a month if you want TV in more than 1 room with digital service and oh you want DVR service to? Add another $9.95. Plus lets say you want to use that new High definition LCD you just got add another $8.95 for 18 High Def channels. Ha what a joke. I’m not even going to go into their VOIP services. But I will dive into their “Triple Play Bundles”. The lowest package they have costs $99.93 a month and will get you High Speed Internet access and the blazing connection speed of 256k/256k (lol) with 75 minutes of nationwide calling and basic analog cable.  The top of line mack daddy “triple play service ” offered will set you back a mere $151.93 and for that you will get Unlimited calling, calling features? I guess caller ID and call waiting, Internet access with a connection speed of 3MB/256k, and Digital Tv with over 150 channels ( no High def or DVR service included).

They are several other packages available via their website and all are just as ridiculous as these. Does Inter Mountain Cable have a monopoly in the areas they service? I really can’t see anyone paying these prices. It sure makes me feel a lot better about paying AT&T $47.95 a month for a 6MB/512k naked DSL Connection.

Last year my poor Pomeranian (Max) was terribly infested with fleas by the end of August. A daily bath was necessary to try and relieve him of the agony. You could see the despair in is face as he constantly dug away at the fleas biting him. I went so far as to shave him to the skin. We were completely infested within a week or so. By that time you could not lay in the floor without getting bite by a flea. To try and get rid of them I tried just about every Harts product available @ Wal-mart, flea dips, flea shampoo, flea and tick collars. I also set off multiple bombs to try and relieve the infestation in the house.  I have always heard people have got good results from Frontline Plus and by this point Max and I was going to try anything, So I stopped by Rudolph’s Office and picked up a month supply and rushed home to apply to Max.

After another quick bath and a drying I applied it via the instructions and hoped it worked. Unfortunately it did not even make a dent. Poor Max seemed never to get any relief. We eventually got rid of the infestation by doing a daily bath, multiple “bombs”, and hand grooming the dog. But I believe the cold weather that came in helped a lot eventually killing the remaining fleas and eggs. I was completely disappointed by Frontline Plus. It seemed to not even make a dent with the fleas.

Fast forward to this spring I have already begun thinking about the upcoming season and how Max and I were not going to repeat last year. This time I gave Advantix a try, applying it monthly starting in May. All I can say is wow what a difference not a single flea or tick was found my dog Max. It was so great to go the entire summer without having those issues. I will probably keep applying Advantix up until December then start reapplying about the same time I did this year May. I do think getting head starts on the problem definitely help keep the issue at bay. If you do any research on Frontline or Advantix you will see that the reviews of each product vary, some report Frontline Plus does an excellent job as others report Advantix gets the jobs done. I believe you just have to do a trial and error thing to see what fits your pet best. Also be careful with these products as you can overdose you dog or cat if you’re not careful.
