I. feel. your. pain. Seriously. I am so much the say. I know I have OCD of checking my emails constantly. Every five minutes – all like 6 of them. Its crazy. And when for some reason I don’t have my computer or I don’t have access to it…I am Jonesing so bad!!! So, I can identify.

Confession: I’ve been known to sit in the Panera parking lot, with my laptop, solely to use their WiFi to check my email when our internet was out for an extended period of time. I may need counseling.

honey i think i know EXACTLY what interweb provider you have because we had the SAME problem last night! in fact, we’ve been having this problem for the past couple of nights and not only could we not send or check email, but started writing a blog post about my daughter’s birthday (which was on Tuesday) thinking i would finish it at home, but since the interweb was down, i had to post on WEDNESDAY about my daughter’s birthday which was on TUESDAY. Completely outrageous if you ask me.

Oh and TOP CHEF?? I watched the ENTIRE hour with the cable going in and out because I REFUSED to accept the fact that the cable was going out. Granted, I had to watch the last five minutes with NO SOUND, but at least I know who had to pack up their knives and go. Yessiree, I do.

Last thing: and THEN the cable company has the NERVE to offer you a “Triple Play Package” that includes your internet, cable and phone. So that they could TOTALLY isolate you from society on a consistently inconsistent basis.

Sorry for the rant, but you hit a nerve :)

I am praying that at some point soon the nice little van will appear at your house and fix your internet – because it would be a shame for poor little Howard to be left with a crazy-OCDed-overloaded Mama.

He’d likely have to learn to churn the butter himself. :)

Oh No! Not the INTERNET! I hate it even when mine slows down a little and get a bit crazy if I can’t check my email every 2 minutes.

Hope your email and Internet get up and running again soon!
