Hi everyone. I apologize for not being here much in the last few days. The internet keeps going off and on. It is not good for being productive or earning on my sites. Today the electric will be off for a few hours. At least, they told me ahead of time. This place is unbelievable. Something is always wrong. The water is off, or the electric, or the internet. This is the second attempt at typing this. I was ready to submit the first time and a popup about animal torture wiped it all out. That is how my week is going. How is yours?

We live in a park in a rural type area. The electrical system was ailing when I moved in and the internet tech people practically lived here for several years. The electric company pulled up a little while ago but my power is still on. I don't know what is happening. It is hard to plan anything.

@porwest I wish they would at least open a fried chicken place and a pizza palace. Instead, they screw up our reception.

Yes, I am feeling better. I went to sit on a bench in the sun. Doc says I am deficient in Vitamin D. A brighter day is a mood lifter but still have a killer headache. I hope your day and all of your tomorrows are awesome.

It is so annoying when that happens. It is helpful if you are given warning that the power is going to go off.

I am glad to know ahead of time. Sometimes, it goes off without a warning. The uncertainty of the internet and electric make it hard to do anything.

These constant shut downs and interruptions are maddening.

So I'm not the only one? I know I pay good money that I really can't afford for these off-on services. I can live without AC but I need my wifi.

I got up early to get things done while I still can. You know how frustrating that is.

@akalinus i use electronics alot so with no wifi that is fustrating or electricity at all. Maybe charge your phone or laptop now so that when it goes off you can use them.

@Ladanger Our park has a strange arrangement of wiring or something. When the electric is off, I don't have internet even with the battery on. The laptop is hardwired because I could not afford a router when I got hooked up to the internet. I have a phone which I will recharge shortly. It only lasts three or four hours.
