Maybe it's time to start surfing the ocean instead of surfing the Internet!?
My phone and Internet went dead...
Imagine being totally dependent on a phone line. My phone line connects me to almost everything I do. I read the local Kauai Garden island News and other newspaper's online every morning while waking up with a cup of Joe,
I check emails, send emails, and answer and post on face-book, I use skype fro all my long distance and video calls. I post a daily blog every evening at 6:00 P.M, and recently purchased a television with built in wifi that relies on phone connection to view and live stream netflix.
So when I got home Friday evening, my sabbath at 5:45 P.M, I wanted to post my daily blog before the Sabbath began, but low and behold somehow my phone connection totally died. I trouble shot with rebooting my router and modem plus checking connections that were on splitters by plugging directly into the phone-jack, still nothing, plus I am one of the few people left in America without a cell-phone.
I call the phone company with my next door neighbors phone and after a 90 minute wait, I am told I have a bad connection, even though my neighbors have phone somehow mine went dead? I am told they can get someone out here by February 9TH, that's almost 2 weeks, I live on the Internet.. Then they tell me if it's an interior problem I will be charged, I said wait, I should be getting credits for service being down, not being charged? "WTF" is what I am thinking...
I am very frustrated, posting this blog from a friends house using her router. I never realized how dependent I was on a phone line and the irony is, I barely talk on the phone and the other irony is I lived in the woods for 6 years without most anything...
I guess it's time to catch up on my gardening and social skills in person in lieu face-booking, blogging Skyping (sic) and emailing, it's either that or check myself into the local Psych ward.
Please note, if I do not answer your emails, face-book, or Skype, please understand I am in withdrawal and hope to get my supplier back( the phone company) soon, before I decompose...
