I've been kicked off the computer for a couple of days and it's been killing me! You should have heard Cheesehead. He told me when I was trying to get the internet up last night I looked like my best friend had died. Okay, I was annoyed but I'm not sure that I'd go THAT far.... I did try it about 5 times. Okay, a bit obsessive I'm sure but there was nothing good to watch even though we have satellite. Kind of makes me wonder why we bother sometimes!
I called the trouble shooting line right after I got home from school tonight and they basically told me everything I had already tried! I had a repair trip all set up for tomorrow when I got off the phone. He did tell me that I should be able to plug into any phone line so I move the modem back by my computer (which meant I used a different phone line) and it just started working again. YAY me!
I'll try to stop by and visit everyone sometime tonight.
Thank you for stopping by. Please leave me a message and a backlink. I'd love to hear your thoughts!

I feel your pain, except mine stems from when the spousal unit tweaks with my laptop. Takes days for me to post blogs. Grrr!
Hopefully that will be just a one time problem. I have a chronic problem will all the web-mac blogs. My computer always freezes up when I try to visit them & the library's computers run them sooo sllloooowwwllly. It is just too frustrating!
gardeness- Ha! I guess I'm lucky. Cheesehead doesn't usually bother with any settings on the computer. That would drive me crazy.
MMD- For sure! It made me SO mad. I tried getting on when I was at school today but the filters wouldn't let me. I was determined to get it running though.
Cinj, I'm glad you're back up, and I feel your pain. I've been down three times this week. Drove me nuts. I went to Panera to finish one of my posts.
I hate it when the internet goes down! especially during cold weather. sigh...
Gack!!! There are few things more maddening! Mine goes down every now and then, usually thanks to storms. And it's such an eccentric connection--I have high-speed cable coming in and a modem going out, grrrrr--the joys of rural living. Not to mention when, ahem, someone gets on the damned thing and throws it completely off... Anyway, so glad you're back up and running!
Dee- Well, that's the nice thing about blogger at least. It saves posts automatically. There have been times when I would have been more than a little upset if I lost the whole post, I never think to save as I work! My computer likes to crash constantly, but I'm usually able to get it back online again. This time it took longer than usual.
Kathi- I know! It's not like there's much else to do. There's only so much cleaning and organizing a person can do.
Ellen- You gotta love technology. It's a nice thing, but yet maddening at the same time. Luckily I'm pretty handy or I'd be sitting here at home for 4 hours waiting for some technician to find that problem and I'd STILL be off line!
I'm so addicted to the Internet it's crazy. I can imagine what that was like. Glad you're up and running now!
Oh, I HEAR you! My community is over-the-mountain from the Annapolis Valley where most of the population is, and a local cable television provider has brought wireless highspeed internet in here because the big mainstream providers will never come in for a few dozen lowly customers. Only thing is, the past few days something has gone wrong--only at my house. The consultant was here most of the afternoon, tried swapping out units, checked everything with his own computer, went into the programming...and tomorrow he and the owner are going to the tower that beams the signal here, and they will get to the bottom of it all. Meanwhile, I'm running at just over dialup speed and disconnected my router so hubby has NO internet on his computer, and is pouting! But my hat is off to my provider--I'm the only one having this problem (and it's not my computers or router) yet he's determined to take his day off to get to the bottom of this. Meanwhile, I just work while I wait for things to load.
