You are how old?

When the roommate moved in with the wife and I almost 4 years ago, she took over the Spectrum account. She works for Spectrum and nearly everything changed and we got them for free now. So, flash forward to this last weekend. I don't know what she was doing, I think adding another service to her TV watching. And, she tagged a friend to call her so he could get the credit for a "sale." She's talking to him and he paused, then he said: "I didn't know you were that old." She stopped and thought for a second. "Oh, that's the roommate's age," she said with a laugh. "I took over the account when I moved in."

Don't let that bother you. Enjoy the freeness while it last. You don't want her to move out over an age squabble

No, we find it funny. She was Viv's friend first, they worked together back in like 1997 or so... but we are friends too now. In fact, in the early 2000's when her cat became diabetic, she asked me for a local vet to take her to since she knew I had a diabetic cat.

@askme123 Oh, Pixie, the cat, passed away years ago, heck, so did Hobo, my cat. Sadly, cats don't live as long as we would want them to.

Oh, we both found it funny... since techniquely I'm old enough to be her mother. I'm not as old as her mother, but I'm old enough.

If you call, you can possibly get a 12 promotional program. Doesn't hurt to call does it?

@jstory07 no it doesn't - and I should know, the roomie works in retention.

I wonder if it wanted to be a compliment or just a pretty rude comment. Well, the important is that you have Spectrum free.

I think it was more of a "surprise" comment. The roommate is 19.5 years younger.

@LadyDuck yep, I've sure noticed that surprise can express the truest statements.

@ElicBxn - I think so, it happens to be surprised and to get our thoughts vocals.
