Let's Just Say It Was a Friday That Felt Like a Monday

I checked on the news feeds to see if there was an invasion of Gremlins yesterday, but it seems there was nothing out of the ordinary that happened. But I am certain I did indeed encounter Gremlins.
My Internet was acting up. Not sure what the issue was. That had started late into Thursday but was still an issue on Friday. The darn thing just wouldn't work. My bars said I had a full signal, but every time I tried to get onto a site or even watch something on YouTube, all it did was buffer.
I finally turned on the HotSpot on my phone and just used that until finally I decided to give restarting the modem a try and that did work. I am not sure why I didn't think of that earlier.
And of course, myLot was a literal nightmare, so much so that I eventually just entirely gave up on it. I did manage to get two new blogs written, one which I published Friday and the other one scheduled to publish on Sunday.
But what a frustrating day.

I usually jump on myLot early in the morning before work to bang out as many notifications as I can, and the last two mornings (Thursday and Friday) I couldn't get on to myLot, which put me behind on getting through my notifications. So I've got to work extra hard today (Saturday) to catch up.

It does sound like a fun way to enjoy the afternoon, doesn't it?

@DaddyEvil What were you planning on doing with that whip, beating me into submission until I got caught up on all my notifications?

@andriaperry Weird that we have had no communication from the admin about it. Especially since it's still happening frequently.

I tried early yesterday morning and then was gone all day. When I finally got home it was okay, so I posted a little.

myLot has been having some problems lately. I'm not sure what's going on with it. I couldn't access it yesterday morning and others here said they couldn't access it during the daytime while I was asleep.
I didn't have any problem with any other site and watched some YouTube before I went to sleep yesterday morning. (I usually let YT run while I'm sleeping. I like some voices and sleep well while listening to them.)

Yup, same here. I did think of restarting my modem, which helped with other sites but not myLot.

I wasn’t able to get into Mylot most of yesterday either.

Yup, I was expecting a message flashing on the Internet that said Don't pay attention to anything just to your President. Meaning Trump had done something bad again, I was glad to realize that was not the issue,

There was definitely an issue here and it went on for a while.
I hate it when things don’t work. One day my phone was showing I had a good said and yet the calls were not going through and I wasn’t able to make any calls either.

@porwest doing research can be very annoying.

So I'm not the only 1 that has been dealing with the internet
Cause I have been as well on fb it wouldn't let me comment
on anything & kept bouncing all over the place so I did the
same thing as you, I shut everything down & did a restart
& that got everything back on track again.

@porwest 
now I have to figure out why I don't
have a mic on my camera or my computer 
I was recording a video & replayed it & had no sound.
I have everything I know hooked up & checked everything
I know to check but can't find what's wrong.

@wolfgirl569 It seems like things are in working order now. Let's hope it stays that way.
