looks like atty is doing an invisible, catt-inspired flyby this morning
Nag nag nag. Won't even let me slow-read and catch up. See what I put up with here?
Good morning Atty
Sounds like it was not a good evening for communications. ice? but aren't you in the warm front somewhere between Tibs and Fran?
I dropped my landline years ago, when i realized that the only "people" that ever called that number were telemarketers. My security system has a cell phone uplink, which is actually kind of nice

Temp is around 28 to 32 degrees right now. Hence ice storm with freezing rain last night. Sheet of ice. Fido will not be pleased. I've salted the front steps in hope he and I stay upright that far. But trudging through that is almost impossible for him right now. Poor dog. I help as best I can with a sling support.
morning, atty! i guess under the circumstances the motto for you this morning is easy does it
i know it depends on the type of landline but all i have to do is switch out the phone to an old-fashioned one when we lose electricity and voila 'dial tone'

Think I'll shovel off the back deck (that has snow under the ice) and see if it works.
Wish me luck!
Where did grumpy tibby go????
Laterz!

P.S.
There she is!
yes, that's what I was talking about. That's why I still have a land line. But...some house 4G phone devices have a battery and also the supposedly powered land line is what is not working!!!! Grrrrrr. So it's no good if it doesn't work!
I tested it by using the jack on the side of the house, disconnecting the house and testing the line. Nope. (They buried a new line last time this happened and now it's "broken" somewhere else...probably 30 feet up a pole.)
Fran understands. I remember. She had fun with lines too. May have been DSL rather than phone, but still. Grrrr.

your set-up might have changed, atty i know the people up the road who can get dsl lose phone service if the power is gone - their lines come through a substation ...................

I've gotta go check on a friend's kitty today, and probably have to brave the grocery store. Dog food for beasties and Dansk cookies for me, labmates, and the people at the vet's who will be taking care of the beasties on Christmas day.
Errands done for the day. Housework done for the day. I have a couple of loads of laundry to do, but i can nap while that's happening
Well, Comcost got my phone now too....
X-Fer by end of year.
Grrrrr.
Verison was too expensive since I already have cable. They lock you into data plans and stuff I don't care about for phone. Keeping them for $15.00 per month "low budget low minute cell phone" (for emergency use) and going with comcost. :/
Don't know if I'll bother having the old line fixed.....
