Default I'm Finally Back Online!


After losing internet, home phone, and cell service Christmas day
I'm finally online and all services are up and running as of about
2:35 p.m., CST today. Sunday I got iffy cell service but that was
all and no internet on that device.

I hope all that celebrate Christmas had a wonderful and safe day.
The day was spent at my nephew's house as was planned and we
ate like condemned men. LOTS of standard and some different
breakfast items were feasted upon. Mimosas as well as some
other sort of alcoholic Christmas punch and coffee, too, were
available to slurp on.

Welcome back, Joan... I really missed you... I wish we can have some
Crystal Palace slurps together... and I got a fresh bag of lemons from
BJs today... and 16 lovely thick pork loin chops well trimmed, two
family packs for the freezer, already packed two in each zip loc. But
dinner tonight was big bowls of thick yellow pea soup with meat from
the Christmas ham bone, very good on a cold wet night... 22º now but
was warmer and raining earlier. We don't mind the fridgid weather
here, keeps the rifraf away... during winter we have no homeless trash
on the streets, not when it's -18º and lower.

Thanks ALL! I missed the gang and glad to be back!! Also glad I had
some computer games I could play when I got bored with TV. )

I was fortunate the tornado missed me by 3 blocks but the Christmas
morning explosion about tossed me out of the bed. Let's hope the
New Year will be better for everyone.

I think that internet was a problem for a lot of people on Christmas
day, possible due to record numbers of people having Zoom or other
virtual meetings. There were a lot of people watching virtual church
services. Ours was down a few times during the day.

I was three miles from the blast. Who does your niece have her service
through? Service was out for AT&T customers in middle Tennessee,
part of southern Kentucky. a large portion of Alabama, and all the way
down to Atlanta although all of Atlanta was not affected.

Most everybody had service until around noon when the back-up batteries
died.
