...things are looking up, anyway! You must have some good karma.
Yes, indeed. And I failed to mention that when our wifi router refused to let our mobile devices reach the internet, a visit to the newly opened xFinity store one mile away resulted in a new, more powerful and faster router, an upgrade on programs (more premium channels included), and a dollar reduction in our monthly fee.
I'm gonna quit while I'm ahead, though, and not waste $ on a lottery ticket.
