Then do the same with and get the TV's, internet and cameras on line. Still waiting for the other prewire to start. Lady's daughter had a baby so she's staying with them right now. I guess she'd have to be paying mortgage and refurbishing has been put on hold.

In the process, I've been able to upgrade some of them to Cell Phone control via virtual keypad with a nice increase in monthly RMR. It's amazing. When I first started offering central station monitoring so many years ago, I was getting $9.00 a month. Now people are willing to pay $40.00 /$50.00  a month and more. As much as many alarm trade people don't like the "Free" alarm companies. I think it's because of them that end users are more inclined to pay more for monitoring now days.

I had always hoped this could become a "haven" for trades people to come and give and take information but it just never turned out. At the time it could have there was just too much turmoil and it drove (most) everyone away. And now that the social media groups have taken root, (none of which I belong to) This kind of forum just has no appeal. I'm assuming there are alarm groups there.

> To me, the social media groups just want to know too f%$@ing much about me, what I do, how I do it, where I do it, who I do it with. Just to invasive in my privacy to suit me. Every place you go people and TV and advertisements make reference to Facebook or Twitter or Instagram or whoever etc, etc. And it makes you feel as if you're missing out on something and "that's how they get ya !" Well, so far I've been able to avoid getting sucked in to any of them in spite of the push and pull from all factions. I've been able to function with out them so far. We'll see what happens as time goes on. It just may become a necessity at some point. If I go in - - -  it'll be heels first.

Hi Jim,

Yes, I am totally turned off of the Social Crap!!  I have a Cousin that
wanted me to get on Facebook.  I tried to be firm and said no.  She
decided to go ahead and set up an account for me.  Was to be just
family.  Within two weeks I started to get emails from people that
wanted to be "my friend".  I ended up cancelling the account and it
was a bit difficult!!  But, I got it done!!  My Cousin still like me!!

Hope the work load goes well!!
