Click images for desktop size: "Radioactive" by Anonymous Final word on internet status: It will go down today but will return on Oct 21st.
The lag is all the phone companies fault, mistakes (intentional or ?) and false information. Fixed now. Have a date for the dry loop DSL line to become active.
Worth rushing to beat the shutdown to let you (you being anyone who might care) know this.
One nice thing that happened. When the bank decided to give my money away (perhaps unlawfully, although they're in the clear) it overlapped with me sending them a money order.
The money order was returned to me by the bank! Returned for two reasons: a) the kid who sold me the MO at the Post office made a mistake! b) To correct the mistake the bank would have had to charge me more fees than the Money Order was for!
So I got the MO back and traded it in for new ones that were properly filled out so that I could pay my bills!
I'm nervous about trusting the Post Office with my credit rating (such as it may be) but having the money back removes a lot of stress for me and for us.
My puppy doesn't care unless I spend the money on her . . .
Back on the 21st or 22nd.
