at my house anyway. I was offline for over four days before the cable guy came and fixed it.
I learned that I really enjoy reading when the house is quiet and my pets asleep by my side. I learned that TV is really horrible still. I learned that if I just put a little more time into it, the house could look a little better.
I also learned that I missed you guys! I remembered how you helped me figure out how to keep the dog from eating out of the cat box, how I found out using reading glasses could be making my eyes worse and so much more.
Whew, just glad to be back - and I wanted you all to know I wasn't intentionally ignoring you in case you didn't receive a response to something that you expected.

I also face this type of problem when my Internet connection was BSNL. Whenever rain is came my internet was broken but now purchase reliance and solved this problem.

That's odd, rain effects it. We have a cable connection so as long as all of these little boxes and wires work, we all set.

I also enjoy reading and have noticed that the internet does taking me away from that. When I was younger I would read for hours on end, now i'm lucky if I'm reading for an hour a week. Sometimes I think the internet is evil, but then I remember all the good stuff thats out there.

The internet is just a representation of the world, it's only run by people and as always - there's some good and some bad.

I hate it when there is no internet, as I love to chat to my friends that I never get to see.We had a time where our internet was down for over two days and I was really bored, as there was nothing to watch on the tv as well as nothing to do.
I like to chat to people on here, as well as get answers to things, as there are always people that are on here as well as other sites that are starting discussions about all manners of things.

I had to learn how to look up phone numbers in a phone book!! What?? Something would come up and I'd want to go look it up on the internet and I'd forget that it wasn't working. It's so odd how much we've come to depend on it.

I've been spending lots of time here too and have put the books down, though I do try to mix it up here and there. By the way, you are doing great with English and I'm so impressed with those whose first language isn't English here.
