Tried to make me go to rehab

My internet has been down since Saturday! What's a girl to do? I realized that the internet is like Crack and this crack whore needed her fix! I think I have been through all of the stages of grief since Saturday. Tears and more tears (mainly out of frustration) bargaining, and finally I came to the realization that somehow, someway I was just going to have to make it through this cold turkey. Like he has done with many of the greats, this was just God's way of testing me.




During this trying time I spent well over 3 hours on the phone with Verizon tech support-very nice people, but since all of them sounded like APU from the Simpsons, I can only assume that they were from India. At times, they were very hard to understand, and even though I tried to explain, I doubt that they really cared that I needed to post on my blog!

At one point of the Verizon/Quicky Mart employees transfered me to the HP tech support line. The man from HP could not help me, but he did refer me to a website that could........???

So, my sister Rebekah reminded me that Steve Tarr had a (as Jack calls it)a computer "fix-it" shop. Cleverly named CompuTarr Solutions. I took it into Steve yesterday. And, what do you know-he fixed it! Quickly and cheaply!!

So, take that you Indians! (and by Indians, I do not mean Native Americans, I mean people from India, the Native Americans have been through enough with us taking all of their land and all-but I hear you have very nice casinos).

Lesson learned from this mess-Shop local first!

I was having withdrawals too. I check out your blog every day if not twice a day. Thank goodness for Mr. Tarr.

In the Farley houshold we were theorizing all the things that may have happened to you. (It was getting ugly around here as I haven't been out of the house all week.) Some of the theories were funny, we were making a game out of it. Without your blog we were forced to watch American Idol and now we are hooked. REALLY glad you are back.
