I’m back online! And, I’ll just live with the first person I meet.

I am writing this from my home.  Literally in my bed, which is great because up until now I have been unable to connect from home, through my cell phone.  It was extremely frustrating, and I even spent an hour on the phone with the provider’s tech support to no avail.  Even he gave up, and said he’d have someone call me.

Then, the solution came to me in a dream.  Not really, but it did come to me.  See, to speak to people in Canada, I run a program on my phone that connects to a Canadian phone number.  I thought maybe this is somehow getting in the way of the computer connecting.  Sure enough, turn off the program, and click! it’s on, no problem.

So it’s great, and now I have internet wherever I go.

Which brings up a new, good problem.  Internet wherever I go is no longer good enough, since I now have a roommate.  His name is Brian and is in the Med program.  From the east coast of Canada.  So I’ll be getting more internet soon.  And some more furniture. (Fridge and washer are in.)

  1. Hey dave

    This really has nothing to do with the post but…remember when we were in the mall and we saw that guy on the chair??? Yea, it just came to me while driving home from a med party tonight 😀 I had myself a good little laugh! 😀

  2. Ha! of course, how could I forget?! You bringing it up made me have a good little laugh too… For anyone else who would read this and wonder why a guy on a chair at the mall could possibly be memorable, it went like this.

    Mike and I were sitting down on a couch that was set to be part of the Boxing Day door crashers at the entrance to a mall, just before Christmas. There was lots of stuff there, including an electric massage chair. A very grubby old man with crazy whispy hair and dirt everywhere marched up, and sat down. He turned on the massage and proceeded to shake around vigorously. That was pretty funny.

    But then, the man decided he needed to check out the massage on his side. We thought this was pretty funny, him shaking around, and everyone around starting to stare. Including the security guards. One employee just stood watching from a distance, not knowing what to do. Two other security guys walked up to the man and suggested that maybe someone else wanted to give the chair a try… there was nobody around. The man responded saying that he was interested in purchasing this chair.

    They let him be. And I’m really glad they did. Because Mike and I could no longer contain our laughter when the man decided to check out how the massage chair worked… face down. He must have had it set to shake like crazy, cause he was bouncing around for a good length of time… long enough that we had to leave cause we were laughing our asses off.

    That’s how a man in a chair at the mall becomes unforgettable.

  3. Ya, I remember you guys sharing that story at Christmas….

    lets all keep our eyes open for those crazy laugh your asses off stories…and share them will ya? I’ll look for one today 🙂
