I just wanted to let youall know that I missed being on here yesterday. I tried to log on several times yesterday but I was unable to connect due to my internet being down. We had quite a storm in this area and as far as I know, nobody was hurt or anything. I called my ISP yesterday and I found out I wasn't the only one having problems. They said that it wouldn't be straightened out until 12:00 p.m. last night! Anyway, I'm glad to be back on today.

Isn't it aggravating? As I said in my discussion, I called my ISP and it seems I wasn't the only one having problems. I even scanned my computer thinking I might have viruses. I scanned it with avast and it didn't show up anything. When I scanned it for spyware, it showed up one problem. I'm just glad to be back on now.

I like rain but I don't like storms. I'm afraid I don't know what a DS light is. I called my ISP and it seems that a lot of people in this area were having trouble due to the storm. Thank you for responding.

Specially if natural calamities is there and only God Knows when it will be end. So happy that it is back as the few days I did not work on here for some big reasons to take. So glad that connection is here to share thoughts again and enjoy.

I know what you mean. I thought that I might be infected with viruses and I scanned my computer. When I scanned it with avast, it didn't show up anything. When I scanned it for spyware, it showed up one problem. As I said in my discussion, I called my ISP and it turns out I wasn't the only one having problems. I'm in Alabama and we have a lot of storms here in the spring and it was definitely due to the storm.

Thank you for responding. I hope it never happens again, either, but you never know. I'm in Alabama and we're known for tornado weather, especially in the spring. I believe I'm addicted to the internet, too, lol.

I know it and you wonder what in the world is going on, don't you? Like I've told these other mylotters, I scanned my computer thinking I could have had a virus. When I scanned it with avast, it didn't show up anything. When I scanned it for spyware, ti showed up one item. I decided to call my ISP, it turned out a lot of people were having problems due to the storm we were having. I'm glad everything is okay today, though.

Isn't it aggravating? I didn't know it was possible you can get disconnected without knowing about it. I'm just glad to be able to get back on now. Thank you for responding.

Because of being on vacation, I have not been on much. We drove through rain off and on all the way home last night, but no severe weather. I am glad you are okay.

I know what you mean! I'm just glad that my system wasn't infected with a bad virus. I thought it might be due to the storm we were having and it turned out sure enough it was. I'm happy to say that everything is okay now.

I am sorry to hear of your problems. I guess sometimes these things happen and they are beyond their control, but I get frustrated if my Internet goes down, but I manage to let go of its, but I am always pleased when it is up and running again. _Derek

I wasn't really that upset about it. I just thought youall could have missed me and I thought I should explain what happened. I know I missed youall. It is aggravating when you can't log on, though. I thought I could have been infected with viruses and I scanned my computer with avast. It didn't show up anything, though. When I scanned it for spyware, it showed up one problem. As I said in my discussion, I called my ISP and it turns out I wasn't the only one having problems. It was definitely due to the storm.

Sometimes I do get pretty tired and decide to take a day off from mylot. I decided not to mylot on Sundays because I'm so busy on that day, anyway, with going to worship twice a day. Then, I really have my work cut out for me on Monday, lol! I scanned my computer for viruses thinking that could have been the problem. When I scanned it for spyware, it showed up one problem. When I scanned it with my other anti-virus program, it didn't show up anything. I decided to call my ISP and it turned out that a lot of people were having problems in this area due to the storm.

Wasn't that flood awful? I saw something about it on GAC (Great American Country) the other night and I feel so sorry for those people up there. Keith Urban had a lot of damage to his equipment and Kenny Chesney's farm was very flooded! Everything is all right with me now. I was able to log on today without any problems. Thank you for responding.

Thank you for welcoming me back. I haven't had any problems lately and I don't have any more for a while. I think we all experience connection problems when we have a storm sometimes. Thank you for responding.
