Still No Internet

Despite many valiant attempts, we STILL do not have Internet access at home. Our attempt with a THIRD provider failed on Friday and after approximately 30 calls over the weekend, I finally rescheduled the install for today. But, I have little faith that someone will actually show up and finish the install job that was begun on Friday. And let's not even think about when/if we might get someone from the cable company to come out and dig up our yard to bury the newly layed cable.

All very disconcerting. The owner of our rental house had a HOME OFFICE that was operational until a few days before we moved in. So, I am completely baffled why no one has been able to get any form of communication activated in our home. No phone lines working. No cable working.

So, we are feeling very isolated (Sweetie much more so than me, since he remains many thousand miles away from his home country and family and friends).

Living in the Boonies

A quick post to stay that I WILL revive my blog asap. I was unaware when we moved that we would be living in a "rural" area for internet purposes, and my first attempt at home internet access failed. So, now I am trying another provider. One that is rumored to be going out of business. Yes, it's that bad. There just aren't any good options. Earthlink offered to hook me up to satellite(!) internet for $99.99/month. HEL-LO. No, thank you. I am tempted to return to a life of dial-up....
