You don't have to hit me off list for my 2 cents. Offerings are fine. Contracting and billing border on extortion. I had a two year contract with them that I cancelled. They continued to bill and I tried for months to get them to stop. They eventually sent me to a collections firm. I asked for contract copies and all they ever would send was a copy of the bill with a contract date printed on it 2 years in the future. When I asked to get a copy of contract I signed that either had that date or an auto renewal they would just resend the invoice. This even though I sent them recordings, certified letters, and email chains from their people accepting the cancellation. I have no idea if it still shows up on my businesses' credit but it doesn't much matter I guess. I haven't been turned down for anything. Maybe all the CC guys know them already and discount their reporting. Anyway, their billing sucks. They refuse to let you cancel. I would definitely read the part about cancellation. Maybe ask to have the contract signor on their part initial that section. Bastards. On Fri, Jan 6, 2017 at 1:37 PM Chris Fabien <[email protected]> wrote: We just signed a contract with them. Their billing and sales practices are a bit shady. Hit me offline for more info. But their pricing was too good to turn down.

Date: Fri, Jan 6, 2017 11:25 AM It was a bit warmer when I did it in Illinois. Perhaps –20 and the droplets did make a shattering sound when they hit the ground.

At about -45 to -50 It will freeze before it hits the ground At about -70 to -75 it will freeze shortly after hitting the air, sometimes explode in the air. I tried this when I experienced -55 when I lived in Minnesota. You could spit, and the spittle would make a tinkling sound as the frozen bits hit the ground. bp<part15sbs{at}gmail{dot}com> On 1/6/2017 8:38 AM, [email protected] wrote: My wife was asking if it was cold enough to throw a pan of hot water in the air and have it freeze before hitting the ground.� We have an employee from Texas that has never seen this.� I told her I thought it needed to be �15 or colder for that to happen.� It has been a long time since I have done it.� � From: Travis Johnson Sent: Friday, January 6, 2017 9:32 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [AFMUG] i am vetting windstream.... � -12F at my house this morning.
