Eppy & Cracker Move - Part 1

[helga] hi chelle: we almost got screwed out of our fortune cookies today at lunch!
[chelle] helga: that sucks!! fortune cookies are a must!!
[helga] chelle: the mongolian grille isn't as good as mongolian bbq
[KornFlake] okso dave - do we put 405B or 405 1/2
[chelle] helga: mmmm mongolian bbq is yummy
[knarf] helga: is that the one on 183?
[ClydeFrog] helga: i could have told you that, i guess we never told you about our experience there
[helga] chelle: eggs. it was like a seinfeld episode, almost.... what is the world coming to, when you go to a "chinese" restaurant and you don't get a fortune cookie
[helga] clyde: yeah, i know you said not to go there. but i didn't pick out the place today
[knarf] mongolians are famous for their chinese cookies
[ClydeFrog] helga: we went on a sat once and we they didnt have noodles, then they didnt bring out rice for use, we had to ask for it, then they stared at us the whole time we were there
[ClydeFrog] knarf: nice
[helga] clyde: and i was a little curious about it, so i was glad we went as a dept...
[chelle] helga: ah yes
[helga] but now i know it sucks
[ClydeFrog] and knowings half the battle
[eppy] KornFlake: hmmm...i dont know?...let me call the electricity folks and we'll put whatever they got
[helga] did you guys go to chilis today?
[eppy] no
[KornFlake] Dave - i put B
[helga] where'd you take frank for his b-day lunch?
[KornFlake] Dave - www.moversguide.com - make sure to enter the address as 405 B East 32nd St otherwise it won't work
[knarf] helga: were doing that friday
[knarf] we went to hawiian today
[KornFlake] you can do address forward online for a $1.00
[helga] is that the post office one?
[KornFlake] yup
[KornFlake] or you can print it and mail it for 37cents
[KornFlake] whoopee
[eppy] cool...i think they are just gonna transfer the account to me and not interrupt service
[helga] for what? electric?
[helga] that reminds me, i have to transfer the gas
[eppy] so they'll start charging on the 15th
[eppy] yeah...electric and water, and waste
Signoff: rolypoly ()
[KornFlake] okay dave - so what do I need to do now?
[eppy] you need to call for gas
[knarf] ill be right over
[knarf] `:[m ...fffffwwwaaahhhh...
[eppy] cool...i got it all settled
[eppy] electric folks have our address as 405 B E. 32nd St.
[KornFlake] cool
[HeAdRuSh] ahhh :)
[HeAdRuSh] no OM for the rest of the week
[HeAdRuSh] party in my office!
[KornFlake] ooohhh... just ordered new checks and changed my addy with the banky bank
[HeAdRuSh] my checks still have an address on them that i never lived at :)
[KornFlake] tsk tsk
[KornFlake] never end a sentence with a preposition
[knarf] my checks still have the addy from the house we were renting when we first got here
[KornFlake] i needed to reorder anyway...
[HeAdRuSh] KornFlake: i got permission from the grammar police to do that
[helga] headrush: emma?
* HeAdRuSh shows Wendy his artistic licence.
[ClydeFrog] HeAdRuSh: i actually have cash
[ClydeFrog] but do you have change
[ClydeFrog] for $10
[KornFlake] ahhh... i see
[HeAdRuSh] ClydeFrog: nope, i only have a $10 myself.
[ClydeFrog] damn
[HeAdRuSh] ClydeFrog: if you buy a comic too that comes to $10 ;)
[ClydeFrog] i was just thinking that
[ClydeFrog] do you have a comic with you
[HeAdRuSh] as a matter of fact i do
[ClydeFrog] do you have one of those cool markers that you can use to sign it
[ClydeFrog] if not then go steal one from a supply cabinet
[HeAdRuSh] i have sharpies in blue, red, green, orange, and purple
[ClydeFrog] hmmmm, which color will best show up and yet compliment the color of the cover?
[HeAdRuSh] i think red would do well
[ClydeFrog] alright, ill be right up
[HeAdRuSh] coolie
[eppy] our new number will be: 512-457-8862
[KornFlake] oh sweet
[KornFlake] i can't find rio grande cable in the phone book or online
[KornFlake] i dont think rio grande counseling is the place either
[KornFlake] or rio grande HMO
[eppy] hmmm...ill find it in a bit..i had found it online before
[eppy] i do believe on of the area codes that was available 78705
[eppy] on=one
[helga] are you guys being charged to change your phone number and place where the phone is?
[eppy] yeah
[helga] almost 40 bucks?
[helga] thru southwestern bell?
[eppy] 38.35...but they have an option to charge that over the next 6 payments
[eppy] yeah SBC
[KornFlake] it don't matter to me
[eppy] i did the charge over 6 months thingy
[KornFlake] aight
[eppy] oh and electric, water, and waste fees are 35 bucks
[helga] are there any other phone companies that do local service? we had mci before, but they charge $60 to change the service
[helga] eppy: is that with the city of austin?
[eppy] helga: yup
[helga] eppy: does the gas company charge you?
[eppy] wendy is in charge of gas
[eppy] or rather..."wendy's got gas"
[helga] ah, yes...that i'm familiar with
[KornFlake] ha ha
* KornFlake is now known as KornFart
[KornFart] ha ha
[KornFart] shoot, i need to change it back
[helga] ha ha
* KornFart is now known as KornFlake
[KornFlake] whew
[eppy] okay...dsl might be a pain
[KornFlake] why's that?
[eppy] they said the service doesnt change for additional computers but that it requires additional hw
[KornFlake] right - and I'll get the hardware
[eppy] the additional hw is a router
[KornFlake] how much is a router?
[eppy] they charge 180 + the adapter for the equipment...but suggested that any computer store should have the same equipment at a lower price
[KornFlake] i see - so I can deal with it after we get yours setup?
[eppy] btw...dsl wouldnt be active til 7 days after our phone is up
[eppy] KornFlake: yeah...thats what it sounds like...i dont mind you using my machine
[helga] kornflake: are you going to get on the WC3 server bandwagon, too?
[eppy] oh...but no touche the wc3
[KornFlake] no warcraft
[KornFlake] thanks for the offer dave

[KornFlake] who's the current tenant dave?
[eppy] shennel lord
