My internet provider (Centurylink) went down last Friday and they have still not fixed the problem. So no access to emails or my land line phone...which is tied into the connection. Been reading the reports. Haven't had the urge or ability to fight the up and down weather to get out this week. And looks like more "stuff" next week.
PS...writing this on the computer at the library. First time I have been in a library in like forever.

Of course we miss you!
Thank goodness you found a way to get back online, although painful. Next week is NOT looking very good for weather.

Sorry to hear centurylink let you down, it is one of the reasons I changed from them to Comcast many years ago. I too have a land line, plus internet and cable TV, for $150 a month, just in case you are thinking about making a change. I love our local library, I started using them a number of years ago for my printing needs, you are allowed to print 25 pages a day at my branch. Much better deal than buying printer ink.
Pat, that is strange because I use Centurylink and haven't experienced any issues lately. It must be some sort of regional issue.

Centurylink , plus directv has never given me a reason to change anything , same package basically as you for the same money . Possibly his modern has gone bad ,not unheard ,but no reason to give up a provider . Have had this same service now for nearly 25 years .

Thats possible .
It's amazing how much we rely on our computers for so many things. Email, bill paying, social media (BigFishTackle, FaceBook), news etc. I used to have Century Link for years and then it kept going off (no phone, no internet). The problem was at some junction box about two blocks from my house where one tech would make a change for someone else, and my service would go off. Then you call them, and it takes 2 to 3 days to get a tech out. Well, they would fix the problem but, then some other tech would go out and change things back again. Like a never-ending loop, on off, on off. I changed and went with Xfinity and now they handle my landline, cell phone, internet and TV. I get all of that for 200 per month.

Glad to see you found a way to connect, looking at next weeks weather looks like rain early at Willard next Friday, but the good news is light winds that we can fish through in my boat, I really like having the semi hard top, it makes a big difference.
Update: Miraculously back online. Musta been my threat to switch to the new Google Fibre...after they just completed running lines in my neighborhood. Centurylink kept dinking around and could not promise anything before next week. I told them 24 hours or I was switching. Ta-daaaa. This morning I was back online and my land line phone was fully operational.
Now ya gotta put up with my blue writing drivel again.

Welcome BACK! Now you can work on all the robo calls about all Medicare advantage plans - we've had enough of them! Even if talk with a human and tell them over and over to never call they Still call again and again. Must be a good reason, that they are so persistent, AKA $$
