woke this morning to NO INTERNET.   Spent some good minutes,  adding to good hours trying to check it all out from my end here to no avail.  Waiting on hold with dumb music for Century Link to respond,  the response being a nice woman somewhere telling me that my modem is outdated and dead and i should sign up for a new and different one,  that i can Rent or Buy such a modem and she would connect me immediately to do which ever i might prefer and i said NO…neither.   

and and but all day i had…..Out Here in the Way Back Country with no connection to anything and it was a good experience,  for the Soon,  when there will be a gap in connection, how long i don't know

but i DID feel  

DISCONNECTED.  So i tried,  once more,  now it's dark night,  and EEEEEEEEEEE!   it went through???!!!!!!  and here i am??????   Will i be here in the morning?????   Who knows.  But it kindof feels like a set up.  Make people miserable for a Sunday,  so they sign up for renting or buying….?  Maybe not…but  whatever,  I have a week or so left.  Going to play it by ear.

    It’ll miss our daily visits but it is good not to take people or things for granted …

    My company did the same, but literally I had to finally let them deliver and install the new one for free. Better reception and no charge but I’m already paying seventy bucks just for access. Someday I may figure out how to go air but then I’d just be out there for any one to hit on. Who knows. Glad you’re back for now.

    Oh Grace— Such a horrible company to do that to people.
    Wrap your modem in aluminum foil for better reception–we did just that
    the Comcast repair guy suggested it. One sheet just behind or in front will increase the signal.
    it sounds NUTS but we have a good signal now. Worth a try, huh?
