I used to – but it was really cutting into my dog-time so I nixed it. Now I just use the computer at work (hey, they are lucky to have me – wink, wink) or at the library. I know some people need it at home for work-related things, but thankfully, I do not. I actually worked from home a couple of times when I had the internet, and surprisingly, I wasn’t as productive as I thought I would be. I was comfy in my pjs, just didn’t get much done work-wise.

However sounds like you have the most brilliant way of handling them!

I know how frustrating that must be for the human though!

I’ve gotten into the habit of writing and thinking on the spur of the moment. I’m struggling a bit to get into a think first, write later mode. But it’s good for my character, right? 🙂

Good thing Elka doesn’t realize you’re looking at other cute dogs and puppies. She might get jealous. 🙂

Wow, sounds like your mom is addicted. Even puppy fur may not be enough to save her if the broadband goes out. 🙂

Yeah, I know I can resolve lots of frustration by going into the library. And I really like working with a crowd of people around. But the library doesn’t allow dogs.

And there is my dilemma.

We definitely need to trade. Mine is good late at night but I’m an early bird and can’t stay up past 10. I need good broadband in the middle of the day.

Y’know, she kinda goes with the flow. I have great internet this morning (trying to get caught up) and she’s happily sleeping by my side.

But I suspect if this goes on for another half hour she’ll start looking for an enticing squeaky toy to convince me to play.

I have two other options–Time Warner and a local company. I can’t see switching from one behemoth with a reputation for bad customer service for another. And I tried over the course of a couple months to get the local company to check out my property for their radio signal. I found it very hard to give them my money.

Now I look at the tall trees around my house and figure it’s unlikely an internet radio signal would get through. I used to have a wireless modem for my laptop and I could not get more than 2 bars despite the signal tower being at the top of a hill less than 2 miles away.

Funny, the Guna Yala Indians in Panama get better internet reception than I do lately.
