Perhaps you may remember this photo from Feb when the pole with my internet receiver collapsed in the high winds
and this had to come out 3 days later to fix it
Look what I found at 7pm last night
I had internet before dinner and 90 minutes later when I got back on the computer I didn’t. I went out to see if maybe the antenna had moved maybe and there was no antenna to be seen. There has been no wind & it is tied down now with steel cables. What could have happened?
Rain.
I found this
That is the spike that was screwed in the ground that had the cables tied to it. Apparently a month of nearly non-stop rain saturated the ground enough that the weight of the antenna & receiver pulling against it, pulled it out.
So to recap
1. hard drive is dying & must be replaced
2. most of the software has to be downloaded
3. I have no internet at home
4. Library internet filter views every single page on the web as spam & unpleasant, pissy library lady must come over and override every page I visit. She blames the government & seems really annoyed I would even want to use my own laptop rather than the ancient PCs the library has, but that you can’t use a memory stick with or download anything on.
5. I’ve already started shaking from internet withdrawal and it’s only been 15 hours.
I knew there was cloud of doom hanging over me.

Oh no!! Hopefully you get your internet back quickly. I was without it for about an hour and I about went out of my mind!
I think I'm going to have to stop visiting here, you know, in case whatever you have is "catchy".
Yikes that Internet hookup looks dangerous! Hope your luck goes better!
I so feel your pain! btdt the whole month of December - yes, a month. Okay after two weeks we asked a neighbor if we could piggy back on their service - we were in the throws of trying to change services. I hope they come fix it pronto.
OMG, I'm so sorry!
I can't imagine being without Internet. Seriously - it's my only communication with the outside world.
Oh! I feel for you!! I would go crazy without my internet!! Even when my computer is slow I get antsy!!
