An appolgy and an explination of sorts

Post by **Mr Bean** » 2003-12-05 01:10pm

Hello all agian, as you might remeber several weeks ago(Almost a month now) I came back after my long hiatious promising a renewed effort and focus on the board and my long held supermodship duties

What I did not count on was a quick trip to the ER followed by three wonderful drugfilled weeks at Andrews Airforce Bases fine heath care facilities as I disscovered I was in the proccess of removing several kidney stones that up until that time had been minding there own business in my kidneys

Tie that in with the fact that Verison(My phone service) somehow had the idea I was pronuced DOA and susquently cut my phone(And Internet) service and sent my estate my final bill its been rather hard to find time to get online agian

Luckly none of my other business contacts nor my various accounts elsewhere with other companys(Such as Comcast nor my sugar/caffienee suppliers at thinkgeek.com) somehow got it in their heads that I was lying on a steel board somewhere

Meanwhile Verison has been somewhat harder to convice and every attempt at contacting senior managment leads to please hold *disconnected*

So I've decided to give up on Verison and find altenative methods of accessing this great old board of ours

Currently I'm exploring Wireless and Cellphone alternatives but in the mean time I'm letting those who wanted to know what happened to old Bean'o after coming back and dissapering so quickly

No I'm not dead yet
Yes I have the time
No I don't have the Internet

All attempts at Pigeon Messages to Wong's Residence have failed, as has project "Bullhorn" and project "Two cupes and string"

I'll be back and eager to dive in agian, just as soon as I get my good old internet connection of any way shape or form back.

-Bean
PS:I promise hear and now no more welcome back threads, probably twenty pages of spam as it is with my name on it

Ya know, you hear about stuff like that happening, companies thinking your dead, but you never really believe it. You have made a believer out of me Bean!

No apology necessary. Good to have you back!

IS the phone company the only company that thinks you're dead, or is it a conspiracy?

Bean,

Having suffered through kidney stones myself you have my sympathies, drugs are your only friend when you're in that kind of pain. Don't worry about us, we'll be here when you finally get back. And as to your problems with Verizon...many years from now you'll look back on this and laugh....right?

So, does this mean that I don't get to rummage through your stuff?

[deliberate attempt to get FUQ'd]Glad to see you're still alive and kicking Bean.

I actually missed your goofy ass. [/deliberate attempt to get FUQ'd]

Uh, wow?

Kidney stones and mistaken for dead, what a kick in the nuts. I can't imagine what an infuriating and painful experience that had to have been.

"Hello, I'm calling to inform you that reports of my death are greatly exagerrated"

"Click."

Ouch.....

Wahoo, Beans back! And after his many months away i have now climbed up to the heady heights of .... over a quarter of his post count. Doh!

I can empathise with you on a few of those points, I've been told that legally I don't exist...

But welcome back. You should have really played the "dead" angle for all it was worth, think of the tax breaks!

As long as you ain't dead ...

Glad your not dead, and that your back.

My family had a similar experience with a credit card company thanks to my telling a telemarketer "sorry, but the previous owners of this house were recently killed in a car accident, please do not call here again." I have never actually heard a telemarketer apollogize before, that part was cool...

However, my dad's card being rejected with "reason: owner deceased, card invalid" on the screen, while my parents were buying a dishwasher was just as amusing. We all had a laugh out of that one because my dad was very much alive and talking to the salesman. (never pulled this little trick again btw.)

As for the kidney stones, that sucks. Though I wonder, do you have a problem with crystals in your piss? (I have this issue once in a while, and it feels like sandpaper going down the tubes. It usually occurs when my hormones go out of whack.)

I considered it for awhile but in the end it was decided that it would run me to far over buget and the whole project was axed

That you for the excellent idea of a new way of messin with friends and co-workers

And as for the person question, the stones were out of nowhere, one day I was doin 3km runs and 40 min endurance swims, the next I was out of it rather comicly rolling around bellowing in pain(I was in to much pain to give proper screams of pain or anything similar so I had to contend with random body noises in order to attract the attention of passersby to summon medical aid
