New Year’s Resolution – Don’t go a Day Without Cable
Being without my cable internet connection yesterday sure made me realize how much I appreciate it when it works. What the heck is a Geek supposed to do without a connection? How can I get my fix?! I was having withdrawl symptoms, since I wasn’t able to do much of anything. I spent a good part of today catching up, though, and seeing what everyone is talking about.

Cable? Out here we don’t have no stinkin’ cable. We have to go with a dish.
A couple years ago we got DSL. Whew! So long Hughesnet/DirecWay.

How ironic is it that I’m reading this on my iPhone while my DSL is out. It’s been over 30 hours now and I’m going crazy.

A computer is completely useless with out the internet of any kind.Life without the internet sucks big time.I hate it when my cable is down.Oh dont call customer service.You’ll only get upset at how stupid they are.And they talk down to you.Come on now,you’re a seasoned savvy user.Dont tell you dumb stuff to do.I have Comcast.You know Comcast bought our Warner in the Houston,Texas area.I’am disabled and may wake 3 in the am.And when i do i want my internet.And i’ll call they butts to just get upset with what they tell me.Take care and great surfing everybody.
