The Roadrunner Guy.....and "Shift" Happens

Sally
:) good blog !, you are a monster of the internet, I wish to be there ! :P sometimes no time, but I enjoyed this great post !

Sally, I am sure glad that Mr Gore invented the internet.  Our lives would be so different.  No blogging, no CNN instant news, no twitters, and worst of all HUGE MLS listing books.  I too am like you, when my DSL is down, I feel totally stripped and anxiously await the COX service person.  The normality of my every day life resumes when I have internet service works.

the roadrunner guy...........how cute!  I can't believe how dependent we are - I sometimes think about my parents............and how the mail back home was their life line..........there sole form of communication with their families - we immigrated from Croatia - 50 years ago and the post took 2-3 weeks...........and they waited and waited, anticipating, going to the post office.....to see...........I can't imagine that kind of patience anymore...can you?  lol

Sally ... what did we ever do without the internet? Jeeze... I can remember when my husband brought our first computer home and I said "What did you buy THAT for?" I can remember no cell phones, no answering *machines*. Heck, I can even remember buying our "state of the art" VCR with a CORDED remote! We needed a VCR cause our TV only got 7 channels. I love technology!

WOO HOO! 1st allow me to say, that was a great dialog of what was happening. Now, I if I told you that I had virtually the exact same thing and my system was down for so many hours today and I was in the middle of counter offers and couldn't get my emails which had the new counters in the e-mail and and and and , gauwd, I thought I was going have a fit. Then sitting on the phone and out of all this , there was a beacon of light. I discovered that my slow TW ( you know who) cable could be greatly enhanced for the small price of $10 additional a month, I will get nearly double the speed. I will pay it and I have to go get yet another faster modem on Monday.

Whew, I am glad I didn't write a post on this,lol. Thankfully you did,:-)

Sally, haven't had my modem go out, but I've been going crazy with the speed.  I hit a button and then go reorginize my kitchen and it's finally there (towards the end!), don't know what's going on, but it makes for a long AR fix,.,

Sally- The mark of a good blogger.....you can write about anything :) :)  Anyway, long story short...it was out, its on, you're glad, and we're glad.....well that about sums it up, except some of us aren't that spoiled, or lucky to have someone make our coffee and have it ready by the computer every morning :)  Now if anything happened to my coffee in the morning, that would concern me LOL :)

I am sure most of the folks on here can empathize....it is frustrating for sure. BTW, what a guy - boots your PC and makes your coffee!

Sally - you are so right on this one! I cannot imagine life without the internet!!!!
