Too much namasteing is bad for the soul, kidneys and the liver. My advice is to refrain in future lest you end up in a prison cell or a psych ward.

Now a second box delivered this morning isn't working either! I now have to wait till Jan 6 for a technician to activate it. To say I am displeased is putting it mildly.
