Today, I had every intention of writing new posts to my blog. We had someone in the house doing some repair work, my husband was sitting happily at his desk busy catching up on his bidding and invoicing. I gathered everything together and was ready to type away until I got called downstairs to approve some repair. Suddenly, trouble started. First my husband saw a wire hanging down and asked why it wasn't plugged into the outlet inside the closet? "I don't know, there aren't enough outlets" I kindly replied. He quickly ran to get another outlet multiplier, thingy and said that would fix it. He cut off part of the case, so it would fit next to all the cables, he replugged everything in, all neat and tidy behind the closed door. Only one problem, nothing turned back on! I ran up and down the stairs checking each computer and plug, I tried the phone......nothing. I restarted the cable router and the Net gear router, nothing. It looked like it was connected...but since I always blame myself, I unplugged, reset, restarted, etc. etc.etc. Nothing! I got on my IPad and turned off the Wi Fy and connected with my cellular plan. Connected to Comcast and logged in, then re-logged in to get to my settings, where I could finally ask for help. Finally, after about five more minutes, there it was, trouble in your area, with both the internet and phone! Just when I replugged all that equipment in, there must have been an outage in our area. Of course I asked myself if I caused the outage? What are the chances that everything came together just at the right moment to keep me from connecting?
So I took my trusty I phone and my I Pad outside to my gazebo and connected via cellular. You have to understand, I literally panic and feel disoriented when I am not connected! In case of an e.m.p., lock me up in my room because I will be miserable! I am so in need of an internet connection that I am right now the owner of a Sprint internet 5 way connection for my car, I have an AT&T, connection on my I Pad, I have Comcast high speed at home, and I own an I phone with the unlimited data Sprint connection I love. I'm afraid to get rid of any of them in-case one does not work in a certain area or there is no Wi Fy hot spot nearby. Even with all those connections, I still look for hotels by the internet connection service they offer. Don't get me started about cruise ships! I am going to have to find a good reason to purchase a connection the next time I go.
Here it is 5 o'clock and I am finally back on line after a quick run to KFC for dinner. What is next?
