Of internet and computer problems and adventures in Indian Cookery

[mav_fan]

Some weeks ago, our phone connection (and therefore our internet) went cablooey.  When holding the phone receiver to the ear all you heard was static and the barest hint of a dial tone.  The phone guy finally came out to fix the problem, which he discovered was in the phone line out on the road (not in our house), so that was replaced.

Good to see you back again! (And not just for the cute puppy pictures either :-))

Phooey on the phone comapny for taking so long to fix your connection!

Pfui (Nero Wolfe spelling) indeed. One of the unfortunate bad things of living at the end of a dead end street is that we are low man on the totem pole when it comes to service calls since the problems only cause us (or the only other house on the street) problems.

Wonderful customer service there... [/sarcasm] But I know what you mean - my parents in-law live near the end of a rural lane in a small village in Lincolnshire and they tend to have similar problems :-(

Oh no, your poor PILs, I feel their pain (or frustration at least).

Eh, genealogy research is always fascinating - you should see how much research my mother and I have done on ours! Not to mention the hundreds of old photos and papers I have spent much of this year scanning...

I've scanned all my grandparents 35mm slides, but since I've learned how to better work the scanner and am now convinced I need to rescan them.

Fortunately, I had the foresight to ask my grandmother to write down as much family history as she could and I got several letters from her in answer to my request. Also, since I was the only grandchild who showed any interest in genealogy, I got all the family papers. Once we're moved I'll be diving in head first into the research and am quite looking forward to it.

Supernatural season 5 comes out next week and I'll be sitting for hours getting caught up. I can't WAIT!!

Nice to hear from you again. Good luck with the Indian cooking! :-)

Thanks, I'm really enjoying the cooking.

Connection problems are so frustrating aren't they? Isn't it amazing how big a hole not having the internet makes in our daily lives?

Purley is definitely growing he weighs over 60 pounds now.

He's a good size for 5 months old, isn't he?

I'm pretty shocked at Indian food my cooking is tasting.
