My Internet is Down

No Herbdate

Here’s the haps:

My Internet has been down off and on all day so some of the interesting conversations I have been having with you all are interrupted.

Is this a First World problem or what?

    Something like that is ssssooooo frustrating. It’s awful dealing with a machine because you can’t reason with it to get it working, and if you kick it, it might never work again. Good luck.

      lol. Thanks. And their app only told me, “there is an outage in your area. A technician is looking into the problem and we hope to have it resolved soon.” Soon as in all day.

    Did you forget to wind up the modem? Sometimes I have to use the car crank to restart things. (Like 40/50 times a day). Yes, it’s a first world thing.

      lol. I forgot to order the coal. It’s steam-powered, none of that old fashioned clockwork for me.

    This has been their plan all along. Lull us into dependance, then take it away and laugh as we go into the throws of withdrawal.

      That explains an awful lot, really. Maybe I should write you a letter about it sometime.

    Some would say no internet is a gift of time to be enjoyed, but I hear your frustration. Stay well Herb. Allan

      lol. It’s frustrating because we rely on it so much to get things done. But you’re right. It was a gift of time.

      I used to have the operator tell me that when I was calling my wife long-distance from a payphone. Well, maybe not quite so much money.
