Had a rare Saturday not too long ago in which to do some actually potsing around on the computer (some writing related, some just frivolity).<br /><br />Tried to get on to the 'net. Couldn't connect even though my connection was working fine. While I was on the phone with Frontier trying to ascertain what the problem was, the rep suddenly says "Oh, just got an e-mail saying the entire state had a server crash".<br /><br />Stupid thing made the six o'clock news that day.<br /><br />Got it back after 5 hours or so, though.G.

I know the local telephone linesmen so well that in the event something goes wrong, all I have to do is call them up and they turn up at my doorstep in less than an hour. Of course, I tip them each time, something we do with many government and utility services in India.Prashant C.

I can but say that if you're close enough to an antenna to get a reliable signal, broadband is great. In fact, we’ve had it for at least ten years, and it has yet to go down.<br /><br />I guess you must love chocolate chip cookies. I would have used dark chocolate candy or maybe lemon cookies for my metaphor. Danish wedding cookies or butter cookies might have also been in the running as would lemon pie, and don’t get me started on banana pudding, the kind with vanilla wafers and a meringue top.Snowbrushhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00436087215476479042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28221839.post-23292985142208873522015-05-11T13:59:11.822-05:002015-05-11T13:59:11.822-05:00Ty, geeze, man.

Just yesterday drove 2 hours to a little restaurant in the middle of nowhere, a place somewhat famous for great hot dogs, and they really are the best hot dogs I've ever eaten. They were all out of hot dogs. It was a long drive back.<br /><br />But I know what you mean. :-)Tyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09192814826756623212noreply@blogger.com
