Just a couple of hours after the last post, I actually got a call from MOM telling me, lo and behold! MY APPROVAL IN PRINCIPLE HAS ACTUALLY BEEN APPROVED! I think this has something to do with that last visit yesterday morning. [...]

It’s Official: MOM Is Senile…
Bedtime will not arrive until the Singnet guys come over to inspect our line which has been giving us sporadic internet connection for the last week or so.
In the meantime, I am posting this in the wake of the latest visit to MOM.
MOM is senile. I am sure that [...]
