That sucks Schyler523. We were discussing what we couldn't do without this weekend and internet was it for me. I could live in a cabin in the woods with an outhouse and water you have to haul from the lake as long as I could get my internet fix.

Hopefully you can go to the nearest library and log on and say hi to us.

That sounds fantastic to me.

Schyler, this could be a blessing in disguise. Internet breaks can be a good thing. Hope you come into some extra funds soon.

Once my sister asked me, "Would you rather give up sex or the Internet?" I replied, "That's a no-braniner! The Internet of course!" She was genuinely suprised at this answer.

I used to have a life, then I found the Meta trifecta.

I feel your pain. I have had no 'net access outside working hours for some months now and I constantly feel like I am missing a limb or something on evenings and weekends.

Sex or the Internet? I'll keep my Internet, thanks. At least it lasts for more that 2 minutes.

That's an outhouse in Canada Miko. The run in the winter not to mention the temperature of the seat when you get there give you a real appreciation for indoor plumbing.

I gotcha, Mitheral, I'm in Northern New England. I just have more than a little back-to-the-land-er in me.

As to sex or the internet? Hey, I can remember life before the internet. I'd miss the convenience, but I'd miss sex more.

p.s. the trick is you keep the seat inside, by the door, and take it with you when nature calls.

Sex or the internet? You can separate the two?

Good luck, Schyler523. Too bad this isn't the dot-com 90s, there were some free internet options back then.
