We had a thunderstorm go through and our Internet (Comcast cable) went out Sunday night. My DH called Monday morning and a clueless woman rep took some time before she allowed as how she thought that maybe it was out in our area, just "wait and see". We waited all day, no change so DH called that evening and they checked and they couldn't ping our computer so it was us; they set up to come out this morning and fix it.

Meanwhile, I have a dial-up service I keep just for such emergencies. However, I don't have any phone jacks in my house so I have to sit on my bed, legs out and laptop on my legs, on battery to use it. Worse, last time I used it I was in Florida but I live in Maryland and I didn't have a local number so had to get on long distance, then go to my ISP and get a local number. So, the last couple days I've only been on once a day for a few minutes, enough to make sure nothing horrible is happening anywhere.

This morning they came out and it's them, not us; apparently the guy thinks no one in our "area" has internet so he's calling "repair" and they'll be out in another 3-5 days, maybe Fortunately, our library has wi-fi so I'll probably, maybe come to the library once a day instead of bother with the dial-up.

But that's why I'm not posting this week. I can't take the 30 second wait for a page to load, I'm so busy elsewise, LOL.
