Welcome back!

My computer is driving me CRAZY. *^%$^%$#()(_&%$#

If IT thinks a link is taking too long, it puts up a message that it timed out. Yeah, RIGHT…I don’t think so. IF I am working on something and it hasn’t had computer messages going back and forth, say I am typing something…it disconnects me from the internet.

Who designed this crazy stupid junk? I would dearly like to give that person some of my point of view when I get disconnected, interrupted, and in general driven crazy. I was e (*&%$) it did it again! I am beginning to HATE computer and their supposed logic boards. There is no logic to something deciding - 0n its own - to disconnect when it hasn’t been asked to.

When I go online, I use our cell phone as the modem.

I never realized that could be a problem. Everything goes fine, and then zap, a phone call. What ever I was loading on the computer is now lost and I have to start again. Of course when it is my mother-in-law calling and she wants to talk about something, she will keep calling and calling. So each time that I start to reload, I end up reloading each time she calls. She knows that the phone is used for this, yet she will say each time that she does not know.

Aggravating is mild to what I feel when this happens. We have voice mail and will get back to her, but she does not care, she keeps calling and calling which causes problems. She has been told this so many times and yet each time she will say that she did not know that. Hunh, yeah right. It is almost as if she has an inbuilt radar to know when to call to interrupt something. That is why I have to do online things at horrible hours of the morning or night and even then there is no guarantee that she will not call.

Sometimes it can be amazing just how her memory can be so convenient in what she remembers, and what she does not remember. Since it is a cell phone, each call counts against a total number of minutes and yet she will call, hang up and call right back to talk about something else that could have been dealt with the first time. I am not being paranoid about this. There are days when she has called every 5 minutes to talk about nothing but junk. When told that we have limited numbers of minutes each time she will say that she did not know. This has gone on for years, and yet she will say she did not know. OY Her memory is such that she will remember things that are important to her easily, but when it comes to things that are NOT important to HER, she will not remember. Yes, I am blowing off steam here and griping. I’ve got to do it somewhere, because she will not listen to either me or to her son. Thank you for your time and for ‘lending an ear’/

Remember when I had complained about some of the spam getting in my e-mail?

I looked up the site for the FCC - http://www.fcc.gov/ - I found it.

They even have an e-mail address for obscene material. fccinfo@fcc.gov

It is unbelievable just what trash will end up in your box when you never asked for it in the first place. I would dearly enjoy finding a way to shut down those sites. Some of what gets sent out is stupid, some is down right obscene and gets me riled.

I wonder what makes them think that I want their trash? Yes, I am ranting. Sometimes, blowing steam can help get rid of pressure.

Service Industry. That is what some type of service to others is supposedly called.

Yeah right, from what I read that just ain’t so at one particular motel. If i had needed to stay there I would have called it the motel from hell.

It used to be that when you went onto a gas station (remember when they were called service stations?) someone came out and helped you to get gas into your car. They did more than that with the wipers, etc. Now, you get the pump which will change from station to station, and a ‘convenience’ store that is only convenient for spending money with no service at all. I am not even talking about gas prices here either.

Even when you go to a restaurant, the ’server’ isn’t always willing to serve. so much for the ’service industry’. The service is gone unless you welcome lip service, or someone lipping off.
