Mome reads Mommy, My daughter's way to spell it when she was younger... It stuck. My son calls me Mome... just like it looks. I now sign all my notes to them "Love, Mome". It's our inside secret and makes them smile. I always want them to smile.

Cox Communications~ No You Didn't

While creating a zoo on Facebook with my three year old (she loved picking out all the animals) We had Sponge Bob on in the background. No one was really paying attention and in the future I will just turn the TV off when we aren't watching it. Here's why.

Puddin Pop and I are sitting in a chair, She is on my lap and the laptop is in front of us on the ottoman (on a tray 'cuz it gets so darn hot). All the sudden I hear moaning. Yes. That kind of moaning. I look up and am frozen with confusion. On the TV is full blown PORN (as opposed to the soft stuff). I look around see where the remote is. It's sitting on another ottoman. The dog is no where around (she sometimes steps on the remote causing the channel to change). I finally get my bearings and get up as fast as I can without throwing PP to the floor. I grab the remote and turn the TV off. I then went and added a half shot of raspberry liqueur to the hot chocolate I was drinking. I was that rattled.

Puddin Pop says "Mommy. What was that lady doing?" (her mouth was full. you get the idea) "I don't know baby." Wanting to cry that my 3 year old was exposed to this and wondering what kind of trauma or nightmares she is going to have. "It was icky." "Yes, baby, it was."

I call Hubster and ask him if he feels like chewing someone out. He says "Who?" I explain what happened and he immediately calls the cable company and then conferences me in. They give us the whole "Someone must of ordered it. It wouldn't just change channels on it's own." CRAP.

Let me just say that we don't use PPV. I honestly didn't know we had that option. We use On Demand to watch movies. What they are suggesting is that someone either used the guide or the channel buttons and went to the Playboy channel. Then they would have had to scroll to future programming (we're having them research to tell us on what day this "future" programming was ordered) then hit select and select again to purchase. Not very likely. Sure, Hubster could have done it, but it's unlikely he bought a program that would air while he was at work. It's also unlike that he wants to move out, just saying. Again. We don't use PPV. I have no idea if future purchased programs cause the channel to automatically change to the purchased movie. Anyone?

Bottom Line: I am mortified, disturbed and totally pissed off at my cable company. Looking into other options because I feel this is 100% completely unacceptable!

  1. I don't know about movies you order but I do know that if you set the reminder to watch a show in the future the TV will change to that channel. I know it was bad for that to happen but I honestly couldn't help but giggle while reading your post...sorry tee hee

  2. You need to put a lock code on the TV and lock out all the PPV. That way it can NEVER be changed without entering the code. If it's the cable company, there will be proof... No code entered!
