This slow and buffering internet is cramping my style! I finally finished reading all the Discussions and Notifications; but I don't have time to post anything. The Spectrum tech will be here any minute.
It started buffering again in the middle of my typing! Aaargh! I'm hoping he will be able to solve this problem because it takes me 10x as long to do anything on the computer when it's hanging up and buffering.
Hope you all have a good night. Anyone doing anything exciting?

My internet was super slow yesterday too, which is highly unusual. I wonder what was going on?

I hope the tech got it all figured out and fixed!! That is annoying! I didn't do much today except what had to be done! I spent a little time outside in chicken coops and then burned trash and picked up some limbs. I stopped though when I remembered hubby was returning with a load of pellets to unload. They are 40'# a sack and gives us both a nice little workout getting them unloaded and inside.

How do you like your pellet heating?

@LindaOHio It's good as long as there are no malfunctions and the fire goes out. You get some smoke in the house when that happens.
Cleaning is a chore. And it is fine as long as my hubby is doing it. I am not sure I could handle all of that on my own. It is hard for me to get the pellet tray out and that has to come out to clean up.
Ours also burns whole corn but corn does not put out as much heat and burns faster. It is also more expensive.
Personally, I'd rather have a fireplace if left up to me. I really need to talk him in to getting the chimney repaired but I think the safety factor has him opposed to that heating option.

@kareng The one thing I don't like about a fireplace is that you can't light it if it's windy outside...and a lot of the heat is wasted. Thanks for the info!

You might need to give it some hot chocolate or hot tea to thaw it out. Hope you get the Internet up and running again soon.

That doesn't help. Neither does restarting my router and modem. The tech said the problem is not with the internet...it could be my computer. :-(

It is annoying when the internet access is crawling. That consumes my patience.
