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 also noticed the problem yesterday I did not open
even I tried it always so I stop. Just this day it
is back.Sometimes we cannot control this situation
its beyond our hold. 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.

So welcome back and hope it never happens again to you.

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.

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 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.
