GoodBye Old Friend! It's been nice having you this past year or so!!

HI Kellyjeanne: Yeah I tried that already it didn't work for me, I was having a hissy fit because suddenly they not only charged me the usual monthly fee for my DSL on my AT&T phone bill/but there was a double month billing and the twit at DSL said but we can do this whenever we want too, I had had DSL for over a year and they never had done that to me, well I was NOT nice about it not nice at all I told her my situation and that my bills could not stand for a DOUBLE BILLING whenever it suited them etc..etc..etc.. so more or less I told them where to stick the DSL ...ROTFL!!! I was not in a good mood that day anyway, (I never am) but that really set me off and put me over the moon...stupid b!tch!!! so anyway long story short no more DSL for me for now...I'm just gonna have a few more lumps and bumps on my body for banging my head on the keyboard and then putting my fist through the wall and or kicking the wall...LOL! In my mind I am doing all of these things like I used to do, but since having my neck and back injuries I can no longer do those sorts of fits...(G)! I already have enough pain as it is.. love & hugs to you dear friend!!!

Hi there: yeah it really really sucks to be back on stinky slow dial up! With all of today's technology you'd think they'd figure out a way to get it to work a bit better by now you know? I swore I'd not lose my DSL but things never work out for me the way I want them too in life... thanks for stopping by, sorry it took me so long to get back to this discussion!!

Hi LIngli: Sorry its taken me so long to get back to you, Stupid dial up takes up so much of my time now I forget to check on all of my discussions and like now its been two weeks since you posted, MY BAD!! I feel really bad .. Yeah I hope to be able to get it again someday here or something with a little giddy-up to it, I had dial up for 9+ years and HATED IT the whole time but its better than nothing but having SPEED is sure nice too...(G)! The things we get spoiled to in life right?? Glad you and your husband can afford it, it makes a difference having jobs and so on especially in this economy we are in; thanks for stopping by and sorry again its taken me so long to get back to you;

Hey dear friend; Oh don't worry, I'm not leaving mylot, I have my TV on most of the time, so I watch my shows while waiting for or doing other things; AT least now I will be able to take all my puter stuff back into the bedroom where its supposed to be, not sitting here on my kitchen table, the short DSL LINE I had it was too short to be in the back bedroom and there was no other phone hook up here at my new place, no money to install another one either so like I said I at least will regain my kitchen table back as soon as I transfer all this stuff back to the bedroom and rehook it all up (G)! Yippe Kay Aie!! NOT!!!!!!!!

HI Lulu: Sorry its taken me so long to get back here, like I just said to the last poster here, having dial up now is so freaking slow and then I forget about some of my discussions and just forgot all about this one, You'd think out of all of them I'd remember this one since I am constantly fussing at my SLOW DIAL UP service..(G)! The cell phone I have is a tracphone I've not had any money for minutes for it for months now, with my crappy health I really need to have it so I am hoping when my disability check comes this month I can get another card with minutes on it; everything just costs so much these days its just crazy!! I hope to someday again "soon" have DSL, it was sooo nice having speed while it lasted and its really spoiled me I'm afraid.. It took me last night to watch a silly animal video clip that didn't even last a minute but for dial up IT TOOK OVER A HALF HOUR...I KID YOU NOT!!! I was just so AMAZED!!, ANGRY but AMAZED at how slow it was... thanks for stopping by!!!

I'm poor too, I had to take a cash advance on a credit card to pay my bills this month, that sucks. But you do what you gotta do to keep on going. I am trying to cut down on all my bills too. My phone companies internet is super slow where I live, if you live a few blocks away they offer a much faster speed. BTW, did you check into that site I told you about? That might work out for you.

HI ya toots: No, I didn't see the site anywhere will have to go back to our PM'S and see if its there? I was wondering (G)! Well at least you have that creditcard to do a cash advance on that's good!! I think a lot of us are going to be downsizing in one way or another; it all blows! but we shall survive I guess, the Doc might have to "up my dosage" on some pills to keep me calm while I get used to DIAL UP AGAIN, but at least I can access the internet and so far the thing isn't freezing up on me, I swear there must've been something wrong with that other tower, processor whatever you want to call it, having to use dial up I'm back on my main processor that I had when I first bought my computer its ten years old now but I swear it has more UMPH that the one brother dearest brought to me over a year ago...it was set up for ethernet ( high speed) to where as mine is not...( sniff) oh well...life goes on right? but yeah when you get a minute PM me the site again PLLLEEASEE!! thanks!

HI ya Polly_doodle: Yeah that's what I hope to get next, if it ever gets set up here in this division I'm in now, ( the poor folks area) LOL! yeah it sucks, its not bad until I get to working on website stuff, then I get really upset at the slowness of it, and a lot of video's or movie clips or anything like that will just DRAG ON or not play right at all, now that part I WILL MISS..(sigh)! but what's a poor person to do right? Sorry you too are struggling right now, maybe your sales will pick up again soon for you?? take care dear friend,

HI Thoroughrob: I looked into Roadrunner too but its not available in my area, small town that I live in; Yeah a lot of us may have to resort to going back to basics on a lot of stuff, more than we already are; Good to see you here, whenever I see your name on other posts, at first glance I always think your name is thoroughbred..ROTFL! only because I'm a horse nut! So if I ever type that in when responding to you, "SORRY"...Jan has got horses on her mind..

Hello Gabs: Oh that sounds interesting, with your DSL... So for you where you live dial up would be like a long distance charge or something? Man that would suck for sure... when I first got the internet I had WEBTV...and there was no service for it here in my small town, so I had HUGE PHONE BILLS...but I also had two jobs back then too but within less than a year my town started getting more internet services and a lot of them were for good old WEBTV....in a way that was a cool system, but I love my puter much better enough though now its fast becoming a relic.. I've sat here so long this morning, I need to get up out of this chair before I have to have it surgically removed...LOL! Have a great day!!

mine too is bundled in my phone bill. it is way cheaper. it is adding just another $2.50 for internet subscription.

Hi Gerty: Yeah mine was in with my phone bill too, $35.00 for DSL and the rest was just your basic basic stuff with the phone, its all just getting ahead of me; I type really fast too and I hate like hell waiting on this thing but what can a person do right? maybe again someday I can try DSL or CABLE modem if my silly cable co. ever gets it set up over here; (sigh)!! of course its slow on here to load and reply on stuff, that's why the Tv is on too; LOL!

HI HotSummer: sounds like you got a good deal with your bundled up package huh? Love your name (G)! It's a HOT SUMMER DAY here in Missouri aka Misery! LOL! Really really hot today!!

Hi Tyc: How are you?? Yeah it sucks! I just have the one phone line, don't really care as I mostly get debt collector phone calls...LOL!! now all they will get is the busy signal HA! I really did enjoy DSL...and if my stupid TV/CAble EVER gets it set up here in this division I'm in, then I can get it through the cable line and not the phone line; but they don't have it set up here, even though back in scumbagville ( my last place of residence) they had it there at the last...GO FIGURE..now ain't that just stupid?? really stupid!! oh well, good to see you!! {{hugs }}

HI Kats: Netzero is what I am using now, free/for the first month then $9.95 a month I was using AT&T DSL..for $35.00 just can't handle it anymore; The place I have my cable with, in some area's here in my town they have the CAble HIGH SPEED or whatever its called but guess what?? Not available in my area of town due to the fact I guess because its a section of housing authority...pffftt! oh well...

I would have chosen to get rid of the cable TV in order to keep high speed internet, but that's me. I don't watch much TV.

I don't have cable, but I still get ABC in very clearly. I wouldn't pay a dime for cable, it's a waste of money. At least my internet pays for itself.

HI Pickoy: I'm still using my old computer system I bought back in 1999, no laptop or anything yet No money for that either, I'm on very very limited income being on Disability but someday I hope to get upgraded to all these many new things; thanks for stopping by;

HI Sweetchariot: You know you are so right I used to do that very thing all the time, then I got lazy about the updates over the years, I need to start doing that again in fact I used to only do the updates that pertained to what I had on my system and that way I didn't have "crap" on here downloaded that I did not need or have a clue as to what the heck it is, I call them microsoft's spyware's too; they are sooo nosy about everything we run and do on here; so yes I do need to make changes right now on the updates; thank you for giving me that wake up call...(G)! I do appreciate it!

LOL! Well I guess it just takes a round of recent troubles, to make me realize no matter what I have installed, or my firewall's or whatever I really do need to pay more attention to what good old microsoft is trying to install on me...ugh!! thanks again!!

Not a problem! I only learned this only after I had so much problems before on my computer. Glad to be your wake up call!

Hi zpendam: Thanks for stopping by, hope you are enjoying Mylot; Lots of great people on here!

HI ya Kathy: Well your bill was running close to what mine was, mine was $35.00 + the phone bill too each month, it just got to be more than I could keep up with; Too many other things always going on and I'm always flat broke; so its back to basic's for me...it sucks! its so hot here today,whats the temp like there???

Hey Kathy: How did things go at the rodeo?? that would be so much fun I think to be able to ride in there like that you know? I hope its not too hot when this takes place its just been brutal here; it got up to 96 today with a heat index still at 6:00 p.m. of a 109 HOLY COW!! FOR JUNE NO LESS!! UGH!! and then now we are expecting thunderstorms tonight, hope it does rain so I don't have to water all my plants...LOL! Yeah I'm lazy tonight been so bummed out the last couple of days too...

Hi Jan! It seems like I'm always broke, too, lol! It has been very hot here today,up in the 90s! I waited till the sun went down to sweep off my carport. It had a lot of limbs and debris from the recent storms we've had. I still got hot but probably not as hot as I would have if I had done it earlier. It still had to be done, though. We're having a rodeo this weekend to benefit the EASI program and I'm looking forward to that. I'm going to be working at our booth both Friday and Saturday night, selling t-shirts. We've been having one every year since we started the program in 2006. Those of us who volunteer will get in free of charge but we will have to pay for our food. We had drill team practice out there Tuesday and it went very well. We started out with four people but two had to drop out. So it's just another girl and myself. Right now, we're a little bit confused but I think it's all going to work out. We've been having practice every Tuesday at 10:30 a.m., before it gets so hot. It gets pretty hot during that time, though. When we get good at it, we're going to perform at a rodeo or put on a show somewhere. It's been a lot of fun! Kathy.
