I have been attempting to eat 3 square meals a day and all that jazz(yes for swimsuit season, yes I realize it is August.....additionally I do realize it is a cliche to say that I will attempt to keep the weight off)
A girl can dilute herself......ahem....... I mean dream!

Local and not so local providers that are travel friendly

As many of you already know I will be traveling for a few months.
On my big list of to dos I have a list of services that I wish to suspend and not cancel.
These three add up to about $480.00 of unused service that would go to waste while I am away.
They are:
Verizon Wireless
Planet Fitness Gym
Comcast Cable and Internet

Here is the review and what I am planning to do with each:

Verizon Wireless: I am surprised and delighted to announce that Verizon Wireless is mucho easy to suspend. They allow you to suspend your service for up to 90 days for vacation and then if you haven't turned your service back on they do it for you. This experience alone is making me think twice about ever switching to any other carrier

Planet Fitness 300 S Main in Downtown SLC: Let me start off by saying that this gym membership is the LEAST of my money. I have had SUCH a great experience with these guys in the past that I am sad to report that they are NOT AT ALL HELPFUL and actually ruined their rep with me over this one deal. I called, explained my situation to the receptionist: she was RUDE then I spoke with the manager who was also rude(did not listen, just kept repeating over and over : "we only suspend for military service or medical reasons") Keep in mind I would let them reactivate my account after 8 weeks without asking me(again I just didn;t want to pay for something that it would be impossible for me to use), and all because I didn't want to cancel my membership.......so sadly I am canceling my membership and because I travel a lot and because frankly they were assholes I will not be renewing it....ever: bad service put a horrible taste in my mouth and treating your customers this way is def. poor service.

Comcast Cable: Horrible.....you have to pay fees to connect and reconnect both times......but that is par for the course.....as soon as they are no longer the only provider in my area I will switch

You say you want the park to change.....

but do you really mean it? Can you feel the burning in your bosom, the motivation to go out of your way to help the cause, the overwhelming urge to fight for what you say you wish most for your neighborhood?

If you haven't visited the park in the past week, two weeks or month(farmer's market doesn't technically count) I don't believe you.

That's right! I am calling you out! Those of you who want the park to change, but instead of USING it and being part of the SOLUTION you instead find yourself sitting on your couch and watching endless tv, going to bed early and wishing, hoping and counting on someone else to change your neighborhood for you.

Let me give you a hint:
If you want something to change(and this goes for just about everything in life) wait for it.......bit life truth about to come your way: YOU HAVE TO CHANGE SOMETHING!!!

Sitting around, doing the same thing you have always done and waiting for a different result is going to get us nowhere with the park....well and that goes for just about anything else you want to change in or around your life.

Be Part of the Solution! If you use the park, really go for it-maybe come to one of the MANY and varied events there, take your dog for a walk, ride your bike, take a jog -our neighborhood will never be the same-we can't do it without you!

so you wanna spend a little more....look no further
