For the past week I have noticed a decline in my computer. First it started where every site was slow loading(2-3min each) some worse than others. Then certain sites wouldn’t load at ALL (or partly) and I got messages such as “Website not found” “File not found” “Cannot reach server” “No data received” “Microsoft error reporting”, etc. It increasingly got worse over the week. Yesterday was the worst(and of course it was when my hubby was out of town and not here to fix it): I could only get 4 sites and nothing else, one of the sites I could get on the 8 YR old’s computer but not the others, then shortly even that one was down, too, then it worked on mine for a bit and then it didn’t…..and then ALL the kids computers were down as well!
I KNEW we had a serious problem and I’ve been telling my hubby(who happens to BE a computer systems analyst admin.) that for the past week but he just dismissed it as just MY computer(therefore not important)and ignored it. I kept telling him there was a problem but anything I say is just ignored and dismissed because I’m stupid and don’t know anything anyway. He also said HIS computer was fine and that was all that mattered….until it happened to all the kids’ computers as well(and they practically revolted!) so he FINALLY (after a WEEK of my imploring him) called the Internet service provider….and sure enough they said they have been upgrading for the past WEEK and shutting down servers, so it interrupted our service. I KNEW it wasn’t right and we weren’t getting the service we should.Hopefully now it will be ok (I think they gave us a “boost” as well)as it was soooo frustrating!
As well, the 17 YR old(the one that tells me I’M “ignorant in everything.”) said he just wants to get welfare once finished high school and not have to go to post secondary or work and be able to sit home and play his computer games all day but this is NOT acceptable! He HAS to get a further education and a decent job. He will NOT be allowed to waste his life away and be content with being a welfare bum. He certainly won’t be living HERE doing that; he’ll have to get a room somewhere or live under a bridge in a cardboard box like a troll. My hubby doesn’t care and shrugs if that’s the life he wants so be it, but I don’t find it acceptable. I can’t even imagine that’s all he wants out of life and has no interests, goals and is so aimless.It really concerns me!
It’s sad as well to hear Demi Moore is in rehab and has been acting like an eternal teenager; taking drugs, dressing like a teen and a whore and partying with her daughters in their 20′s, picking up young men in bars, etc. it’s disgusting as well as sad, it’s like she won’t accept getting older(she’s 49) and is desperately trying to be young again.I can understand though(although not the drugs and whore part) wanting to recapture your youth and struggling with getting older. It is sad that she’s sunk down this low and is now in rehab.
We also had a weird day yesterday: freezing rain, then rain, then light snow, complete with big fluffy flakes. We’re supposed to get blowing snow today. I hope so; it’s like we’ve hardly even HAD winter yet and it’s almost Feb! Hubby also found a 70′s theme murder mystery dinner that serves vegetarian food so we got tickets for it. It looks like fun and I remember going to one several years ago.
