Internet connection is now restored!

Hello, Canellita. Do you mean what do I do after the screaming stops and I've given the cat a good kicking? I reach for the vodka - any excuse, and the Internet being off is a good one. I don't have to stay sober if I'm not writing. For those who don't have their irony function set to full on, let me first say I don't have a cat to kick, and secondly I don't hit the vodka at every opportunity. Okay, perhaps I do go for the vodka, but I don't kick my non-existent cat, or anyone else's. Now, where was I? Oh yes, topping up the vodka ... That's better - now I can respond properly. I lose my connection every now and again, sometimes for half an hour, other times for half a day. I tend to do jobs that get sidelined like the ironing - hell, I'll sideline the ironing for anything, but I've got no more excuses when the Internet's off. I may sort out some cupboards, or give the kitchen a good clean, but on the rare occasions when there's no housework to do - or more likely when I don't feel like doing it - I'll catch up on some reading. I just pour myself a vodka and curl up with a good book.

the roomie and I sit around and look at each other... Generally speaking if we don't have internet, we also don't have cable or phone! IF we have those two, then we know its a modem problem and I run off to the cable company to get a new one!

The frustration one suffers when an uninterrupted connection drops off is too much. Being online for long an then suddenly getting cutoff is an uneasy feeling. I had faced this problem some years back when some renovation work was going around our apartment.The net was down for almost a week and I felt very disconnected from the world. When I got to net again, my email box was filled with mails.

I am happy to hear that you are back on line again. I will be happy to see more of you as well.

What do I do when I cannot get online? I cuss and carry on! Fortunately, the only time I cannot get online is during a storm and when the power goes off. If it's daytime, I go mow the lawn or sit outside and read a book. If it's night time, I usually use a good lantern and work on a jigsaw puzzle. I always have books and puzzles going for when I am not computing.

I have had to go without internet for awhile and it is not fun! I really dislike being away from it because I have a few things I do on here I enjoy a lot. For instance, being here! Now you'll have to try to catch up like you said and the time will go by so quickly you'll forget you were sitting there for hours already! Enjoy your new connection!

Good to find out you've got your internet back! It really is such a hassle when there's no internet connection. I always feel frustrated when that happens. Sometimes I have that problem wherein my siblings have internet connection while I don't!

happy to hear that and now you can check mails with ease and also do some activities and i really get upset and feel tired without net connection

Hi Canellita, I could imagine your frustration but it's good to know that your problem with your internet connection is already solved. My work are usually done on line especially when I am doing my work at home so it is really hard for me not to have an internet connection. But there are times when internet connection in our place can be really crappy, hence the same frustration. What I usually do during times like that is that I stay at some coffee shops that offers wi-fi connectivity so that I could finish my work. If it is during night time and all the coffee shops are already close, I will just cry myself to sleep, just kidding

Hi friend, good to hear that you got new modem and your connection is restored, it is really hard to imagine our life without internet, since we are depending on internet for each and every activities, so we all need uninterrupted internet connection
