Hubby forgot to pay the bill for our land line phone.  This cut our dsl off too!  I'm using a wireless signal I picked up on my laptop but it is very weak so I don't know how long it will last.  And I've used this same signal before and it doesn't always work for me.  Just didn't want anyone to worry.

I've also been sick.  I went to the ER on Saturday cause I thought I might have pneumonia but it's not.  It's Pleurisy.  Hurts like hell to breathe.  Feels like my lungs are on fire!  If it doesn't get better it could turn into pneumonia.  They gave me pain meds so I can take deep breaths to keep from develping pneumonia.

I will!  I don't want pneumonia so I am doing my best to take deep breaths!  I have also been challenging my dry weight because I obviously have extra fluid.  I just didn't want anyone worrying because I haven't been here for a while.  I'm okay!

That is bad news Krisna.  Don't forget about Universal Lifeline service.  To my knowledge if you can't afford to pay for dialup service it can be paid for under that program.  That won't put DSL back on for you but it should provide you with basic dialup service and you could get online with a modem that way.  I hope everything works out and that you are feeling better soon.

As to that weak wifi signal you are using, there are high power wifi cards and directional antennas available that will turn that into a strong signal.  I don't recommend it because that signal belongs to someone else.  Just saying.

The above would be me, sitting out in the middle of the road searching for a signal .I could bring my couch and table out and surf  ;D...Boxman
