no phone no Internet


It rained here all night, I went out in the rain to feed all my out side chickens, came back in and took care of the inside chicks then I went out and planted tomatoes. I turned on the computer, no Internet. tried the phone no phone, I got Janet's cell phone and after hunting I found the number for the phone company.
When I call the phone company I get this machine that tell me to Punch number so they can decide why I am calling. I went around and around punching number then Janet woke up and she started calling. I told them our phone line was down but she told them our dsl wasn't working so they had me do all this stuff and I ask what good will that do if the phone line is down? remember Glen Campbell's song, Lineman?
While I was waiting I went out on the porch and Sammy's pup had dug up 2 of my tomatoes! I tied the dang fool up and then came back to talk to the lineman again.
After 3 hours I am on the net again and I have what tomatoes I have left covered and pup tied. so my morning is not going well but Janet did cook me breakfast.
Now Janet wants the computer and it is raining again so I may not get back on here for a week.

Sometimes if the phone will work and the dsl will not...unplug the dsl modem. It will reset it and then sometimes it works. Mine does not go off much now but it used to all the time. If the phone will not work...neither will the dsl.

I am glad your can surf faster now.

Some days it does not pay to get up in the morning. Sleep in. Days go better!
