[Avalon]

For those who have noticed my absence, and/or wondered about it:<br><br><br><br><br><br>
My internet connection at home (dedicated T1) was cut accidentally by the moron phone company and it's taking them friggin weeks to fix it.<br><br><br><br>
I'm also not at school as much, with classes out, so due to the Great Net Access Draught of 2003, I have little to no internet access at present. This may continue for a small while.<br><br><br><br>
Ding dongs, the lot of them. Cut our phone lines too. Poo monkeys. Weiner heads. Nincompoops.<br><br><br><br><br><br>
On the plus side, I'm getting a lot more done around the house! <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="/images/smilies/wink3.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title=""><br><br><br><br><br><br>
Anyway, I thought I'd mention it so you don't think I'm trying to be an aloof bee-otch.<br><br><br><br><br><br>
Hope things are OK here.<br><br><br><br>
(...And DAMN there are a ton of Vegweb newbies! ...I'm not used to logging in and seeing 7,000 new posts since my last visit.)

Do you get at least 1 year free service from the company once it's restored? <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="/images/smilies/smiley.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="">

NO.<br><br><br><br>
And I forgot to add that last week my cell phone died for a few days, Trevor's was lost, AND right now the satellite TV is not working.<br><br><br><br>
So we've had just about a total communication failure around here. I'm so out of touch with the outside world I'm thinking of reverting to the horse and wagon for continuity.

So there you are!!! I was wondering where Avalon went!<br><br>
oh . . . she's gone again . . .

I was wondering what happened to you. Glad to hear you're still alive, let me know if you need any organs, i have some to donate.

Hi Avalon, telephone engineers are the pits aren't they! <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="/images/smilies/grin.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title=""><br><br><br><br>
I am also MIA. or rather wounded in action. My back had a mishap- I'm now banned from the internet, sitting or standing or gardening. For ever. <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="/images/smilies/sad.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title=""> You can see I'm obeying instructions...

Your not leaving Nigel are you ?<br><br><br><br><br><br>
But yeah, I started wondering where you went.

You have a dedicated T1 at your house? Wow...I'm terribly impressed. (I work for AT&T ordering T1's for major corporations).

Yeppers. Trev, my telecom genius boyfriend, is THE MAN.<br><br><br><br>
We are a highly webocentric household.<br><br><br><br>
And have no fear, Nigel is safe for now (For those who don't know: that's my car...) Though selling Rusty Frecklebum is proving slightly more drawn out than I originally thought.<br><br><br><br>
Mainly because I'm lazy as hell.<br><br><br><br><br><br>
Thanks for the Organs, Majake, I'll keep that in mind. <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="/images/smilies/tongue3.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title=""><br><br>
(BTW- just which ones are you offering??)

I certainly was wondering, lovely Avalon, but I'm glad to hear that all is well. <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="/images/smilies/cool3.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="">
