I gotta stay away from...

Haha, very funny.

My ISP bill is in the last resident's name. She is a published website designer that makes boatloads of cash. Even with $200 a month "business class" service, satellite internet is almost as bad as dail-up and often worse. Sorry, on this particular issue I have no sense of humor left.

I'm at about the same point. We have moved into a new estate which is supposed to be on the national broadband scheme - fiber optic, so there's no copper wires to the house for telephone or internet at all. I rang up to get the phone and broadband sorted out as soon as I got here and was told that the service was not in my area yet. Huh?

After about two hours on the phone I found out that the fiber optic line is to the house and I can have telephone, however the infrastructure for the broadband is not in place yet. Of course my next question as to when this magical infrastructure would be in place was met with the response "It's under construction" No date, just "under construction". It could be next month, six months, years. If the government changes hands at the next election it could be never, because one of their running policies is to throw the National Broadband Scheme (which is supposed to drag us kicking and screaming into the 21st century) in the garbage can.

In the meantime I have a wireless broadband dongle with a 3Gb for $20 for the month. The signal is so bad that it frequently drops out. When the kids get out of school at 3PM and for most of the weekend the speed is down to around 2kbits per second, if I'm lucky. Forget about streaming content, it takes me 10 minutes to watch a 30 second YouTube video. Usually, the speed drops to a few hundred bits per second and I get about 30-40% packet dropout on ECF. That's when it's time to go and do something else.

I could probably get a "premium" service for $200 per month but I'm buggered if I'm going to give them more money when the signal is so poor and it's unlikely to make a heck "of a lot of difference.

I'm off to McDonalds for a latte and a bacon and egg roll. They have free wifi and I need to update a computer so that it can use the wireless dongle, and do some work. Watch how slowly I drink that coffee.

I will refrain from additional hi jinx in regard to this matter.

That's OK. Not getting to attend CASAA meetings when you want to isn't a laughing matter though. Major bummer.

To lighten the mood, here's some dancing boobies...

Try it again later. Your taste buds might have gone on strike.

this could be...cuz even after adding cinnamon and anise i could barely taste anything...then i got a kinda hot damn shot taste

now today it's an odd hit and miss taste...sometimes no taste, other times has this interesting almost coffee cheese cake danish taste with a hint of cinnamon...it's actually kinda good, weird but good...

So you can't watch mod Envy, then?

It's not the same without Nikki though. I liked watching her. She made me feel extra good about the choices I've made in life.

Try sipping on some tonic water - the real Indian Tonic Water stuff. I find it resets the tastebuds. I came across this one of the forums and it does work for me. I think becasue it's so bitter it slaps the tastebuds down and makes them get back in line. ;-)

Ah yes, sarcasm. The lowest form of humour

 

[Schnarph]

That is correct. I can catch a few seconds here and there assuming I stay logged in which is rare. I'm just stuck reading the inane chat room babble. I'm about done trying to even catch it. I did win twice but one item has been already been given away and the other will remain unused until I can find it a home. Watching ModEnvy costs me money so far. Bizarro world.

Now that they won't post the winners it's really not worth my time. I haven't logged in and walked away but I can't sit and stare at the chat room for 2 1/2 hours. I would completely lose my mind, and there's not much of that left to lose.

 

[Shadav]

Well,,, this thread went long and off didn't it.

It was off when it started.

lmfao I was gonna say...I don't think the topic went off...I think we're all just a bit off to begin with

Anyone using a different color font for the body of their posts is automatically ignored.

oh but come on...posting in colors is so much fun

[Wizzlefits]

Not this time. In fact, a couple of the winners' names I recognized from prior wins, but no one from ECF I could identify.

 

[Shadav]

Fasttech in the states? Has she lost her deuce? Is this post in the FT thread? Stupid people and juice snobs suck.

Hottie. . Work's been busy.. long story short.. and at the risk of sounding vain.. i use the pravana every other day after i wash/ before i dry my hair. Got a haircut yesterday. . And it's still dry.. help lol

Oh and please don't tell me i should've had a backup for my hair. . I'm devastated. . So upset.

fast tech isn't in the US? well i'll be.... hmmm
i'm totally a juice snob...i only vape juice that doesn't taste gross *nose up in the air* << oh yeah that's right..i said it...

what shampoo/conditioner are you using? what did haircutter person say? doing a weekly or even monthly mask? you hair is never going to be 100% not dry...no one's is...it's been hanging around (literally) you for a while...in some cases years...
send me an email with what products you are using...maybe one of them is the culprit even tho it is is sold to be a good for you thing...ya know? your blow dryer could also be a contributor....
you really should have a backup tho....

What do you know, Nikki was good for something after all, she made others happy that they weren't her. I completely missed that side, and I have often said how glad I am that I wasn't other miserable people. Thanks for pointing that out. However I still can't stand the miserable creature.
