A silly poem about my modem burning out. I am writing on borrowed time as it goes in and out. My husband has a new one to install this weekend.

                                                     But no posts appear.

                                                    What can I do, my dears?

                                                    But Craig has surprised me.

                                                    It’s a new modem I see.

                                                    But he has to install it.

                                                    Oh, goodness me!

                                                   While he’s off this weekend.

                                                   The new modem goes in.

                                                   I’ll be back up to speed.

                                                    I can visit my friends!

    Sorry to all my Triond friends if I am missing your posts. It is hard with this modem problem. First we called the cable company to see if it was on their end but no luck there. I hope to have the new one in this weekend. I will also submit a fix for the one line that is out of place. I can’t understand why Triond does that sometimes.

    Wow, do I know where you’re coming from. I’m using a loaner while a new modem is being installed in mine. It shorted out Thursday night. I’m not smart enough to put in a new one myself.

    lol, ahh technology. Remember when no one knew what a modem was?
    Thanks,

    We understand and in no time everything will be alright.

    Yes – wasn’t life easier when we didn’t have all of this technology to make our lives easier?

    I won’t be reading as many of your posts for the next two months. The kids are home so I have to share the computer more.

    I can so totally relate–I had just started writing for Triond last year, when my hard-drive fried. Time was, I was fine with an old typewriter. We become so quickly spoiled.

    Pam, I’m so sorry.I know how aggravating it is when your modem goes out. But the weekend is here so you will be back in sync.

    That’s cute Pam. Glad you’re up and running again. I didn’t take the job after all…I don’t play games.
