Perkins, I had U-Verse for a time and was very happy with it. Alas it isn't offered where I am living now.
Angel: Just admit it: you think you're gonna ride in, save the day, and sweep Buffy off her--Spike: Like you're not thinking the same thing. Angel: I'm already seeing somebody. Spike: What, dog girl?

the water is too cool to make a proper cup of tea.
I'm not too worried about the haute cuisine potential of IHOP. And when I make it at home, I'm popping a mug of water into the nuker then dunking in a teabag. Mine is not the palate of a high-brow tea drinker.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Good to hear, Laura!
My sister does, so I've used it a few times. I don't like it as much as the Tivo: I find the interface a lot more confusing. But they haven't complained too much.
Do you know what speed they have? The rep didn't think I needed the top speed package, but I'm not sure.

Teavana salespeople are also insanely hardcore. You almost literally can't go in there to browse, because someone WILL sell you something. Or at the very least make you feel bad enough about not buying something that you leave.
That could just be my local Teavana too. They are CRAZY there!

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Hey, does anyone here have AT&T U-verse for their TV and internet?
Kristen and I have it and we like it a lot. We have issues with our remote controls, but other than that, we like the service and schtuff.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

They'll bring the pot of coffee and try to pour it into his cup no matter how he tells them not toI hate when I get the mix of coffee/cream/sugar just right, and then the server pours in more coffee. Why don't they just leave a pot, if they're going to give me free unlimited refills anyway?
There was a bit on Hawaii Five 0 about that. Probably the only time I liked Lori.

Drinking my coffee black helps a whole lot with the refill issue.
Yep! I only add sugar or cream when the coffee really tastes terrible. Last Tuesday, I actually used my coffeemaker at home for the first time in the 17 years I've owned it (my mom uses it when she comes to visit--I just haven't made any for myself). I picked up some Christmas coffee at Starbucks, ground the beans, and then put way too much into the filter. I had to boil some water in the kettle to dilute it.

Do you know what speed they have?
Nope. They're not tech-savvy, and they signed up a couple of years ago, so it's probably whatever the standard speed was in 2009 or so.
Me, I'm clinging to my Tivo, even though I now have to manually force a call once a week.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Now I need to go make another pot of coffee. Thanks!
I've been poaching chicken quite a bit lately so I can make enchiladas. Save the broth for later. Just saw it in the fridge and realized it would be just the thing to warm me up. Oh dang! It was like a bajillion times better than I anticipated. Why do I even bother making soup? Next time I'm just drinking the broth.
