Re: still having technical difficulty

Doesn't that crank you up? I had a motherboard replaced once by a defective motherboard. And they wonder why GM and Ford are in trouble.

NEws Flash!  The DSL guy just left.  I'm back online at a speed faster
than a snail!  Well- the outcome was, that the replacement modem that
they sent me was defective.  So- once yet another new modem (different
model this time thankfully!) was installed, we were good to go.

I agree with Bonnie M. A couple of years ago, we had to have a tree taken
down. I had an expert group come out...all the difference in the world.
They ended up taking three down and pruning out a large oak without
damaging anything around them, including my garden plants. I was very
impressed.

If you have them do any tree pruning, insist that they don't use spikes as
they can transmit disease. Good luck on all.

Very likely. I've got a big old hackbarry coming down and the tree guy

will
call me tomorrow to hopefully come out here this weekend. If it goes down
w/out help, I'll lose the back of the house and about half my landscaping
out back so I'm holding my breath.

One of the outlets had a wire that was loose- not detached, just
loose. So, sometimes it worked and other times it didn't. What a pain-
took me several uneasy days and replacing 3 outlets before I figured it
out. And the electrician never did call back. Oh well, obviously I was
meant to figure it out myself. and I'm sure saved a small fortune.

HI all-

I am on an old fashioned dial-up connection, cause we got the new


DSL
modem, but apparently there is a problem with the line. Great- so

they
are supposed to come fix it tomorrow.
Also- because I live in the electronics twilight zone- 2 days ago,

the
electric went out in a couple of the plugs in the dining room. I
checked everything, GFCI plugs, circuit breakers, replaced 2 of the
actual outlets, etc. No clue what the problem is- but makes me
kind of
nervous (think visions of electical fire). So yesterday PM my

neighbor


who is a commerical/industrial electrician came and checked a few
things- but nothing obvious.  Called an electrician today
recommended by
a friend- they still haven't called back.  great.    So, today,
neighbor
came back and checked one more thing- in the process we both


realized
that the plugs were working again- no idea why. So later this
evening I
plugged in by cell phone to charge- and guess what- it doesn't work
again!@
What a pain- I'm calling a new electrician tomorrow AM, before

heading


out for a funeral.  Keep your fingers crossed nothing horrible


happens


while I'm away for the day tomorrow.
It would be so nice to get something working again tomorrow.

Theresa
