JimK Hotshot Registered: 08/23/01 Posts: 5708 Loc: New Ulm, MN	LOL, I do this on regular basis with my residents. They consider it an emergency and call my emergency cell when they loose the internet. Have gotten to the point I stop them and ask them if they have done exactly what this is about. And before long they come back, gotta remember they may have internet but no cordless phone. Success, was just so easy they can share it with there neighbors. Nope, to stupid for that. Jello salad, YUCK. Should see the junk we get for Christmas from some of these old timers. Received some cookies one year and they looked good, that was deceiving for sure. Sour Kraut in them.

Gopher Senior Member Registered: 01/06/09 Posts: 3445 Loc: London	An excellent piece of prose. Due to a still unknown cause, I end up having to do this almost every other day. Then there was the time when Virgin's UK service farted, and after eight tries I finally resigned myself to... the horror... a day without the internet.

magicalflyer Member Registered: 05/06/11 Posts: 481 Loc: Indonesia	Poor guy. Next think he knows, he'll be fixing a noisy washing machine or broken vacuum, washing the family dogs, saving the princess' stupid cat from the very top of a tree, fetching her auntie from the airport, the list goes on and on. All started from fixing a computer that didn't work as it should. We, the triumphant cyber warriors, are exalted knights in one or two weeks; to be some glorified maids in no time flat. Only when the girlfriend and I agreed to break up I could finally be free from their evil grip. _________________________ "It ebbs and flows, shipmate.
