Another HOUSE update!

We have the keys and the house is mostly empty!

We took a load up today, and did a few more things to make it ours!

The major move comes Friday. Hopefully I'll only be without Internet for a day or two...

Internet is up! See bottom post!

No Internet??? AAAAAAHHHHHHH /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/str.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/aaa.gif

The telephone company called today. I have a new number in my name. And an appointment for MARCH! 1st for DSL install...

EEEEEeeeekkkk!!!!

Sure as HECK hope my old (keeping it for now) ISP has a dialup number up there!!! I'll miss reflectors for sure if not!!!

Joe, not sure who your DSL provider is but Verizon gave me like a ten day activation date and in actuality it was only three. Also I called them up and complained and they gave me free dial-up access for a month to hold me over in the meantime. Losing your Internet connection is like a drug fix, you'll do anything to keep it!

I already looked up dialup numbers up there...

2-3 WEEKS without internet can't be done!

No dial up to PDQ from there!

I may be offline until March!

I shall try many things however!

Great to hear of your acquisition, PBJS. I hope the move is smooth and the internet is your only glitch. Good luck, good Buddy. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/happy14.gif

Joe, please explain more. You can't get a temporary internet account with another provider while waiting for DSL? Doesn't netzero still have a free account although time restricted?

I will be back on the "Work" 'puter now and again if nothing else.

I'm a relative newbie to the vagaries of ISPs... I am set in my way to use the ones I've been using...

I'm going to call the Phone Co-Op that is going to do our DSL and see if they have a dialup for now.

I may try other ISPs but have to have access to get access...

Thanks for the congrats. Moving of the big stuff is a done deal. We are here in town now to get another truck/trailer full. May have to do it twice more.

I'll check in whenever I can, if only when I'm here (until THIS house gets sold).

Wish me ISP luck!!!

Try www.awesomenet.net they probably have the best rural coverage, with local dial-ups, in Texas.

I appriceate it BIGIRON!

But I got a dial up number from my new ISP!!!

Should be back tonight!

I now believe that no call fron our new phone number is a local call.

I don't believe I could call across the street.

They gave me a same area code same first three number and IT'S a long distance call!

It may well be early March before I can be here daily again!

To qoute Lili Tomlin from, oh, about 30 years ago...

"We don't care. We're The Phone Company. We don't have to."

When can you last remember dialing a number without the area code???

That's what they told me to do, and it worked!

Apparently East Texas isn't like the rest of the country!

Anyhow, I should be able to check in daily again!

However dial up is too slow to see everything!
