Where Am I?

Hi, everyone. I died and went to heaven. This post is being written from the great beyond. Who knew that we would have heaven to earth internet access?

Not really. My internet access died. I am typing this at my son's house. Someone who knows more than I do is coming this afternoon to help this technically challenged granny out.

THANKS FOR ALL THE LOVELY BIRTHDAY WISHES! What an "Alice in Wonderland" birthday present to lose my internet access. I really am dying.

  1. Don't worry, Grandmère, MadPriest has watched plenty of "Ghost Whisperer" and knows exactly how to get your spirit to "cross".

    Well, and to make your spirit cross, if you take my meaning.

    I was noting the lack of Mimi insights at OCICBW today. This results in a loss of "checks and balances."

  3. Grandmère, Your presence is greatly missed. I hope your technonerd gets you back into this ethereal plane soon.

  4. Technically challenged? You are a blogging grandmother, which probably puts you in the 99th percentile of AARP members on the tech savvy scale, Mimi!

    Blessings and hurry back!

  5. Ok- I admit, I was getting worried!

    Grandmere, you have "mad skillz" with technology, trust me.

    I wish you were one of my "church ladies" - then church blog readership and commenting would be up... way up!

  6. Glad you are getting back on line.

  7. I'm back online for the moment. The man I paid to fix my trouble told me that my modem was bad - which is the cable company's fault. Three technical support people from Charter told me my connection was fine.

    I called them back, and they're supposed to send someone out with a new modem tomorrow. I wonder if they will reimburse me for what I paid the repair man.

    Suddenly, tonight, I'm back online, but who knows for how long?

  8. You'd need to visit my friend Dr. Monkey to get his take on Charter. How he loathes them!

  10. Charter is the worst. I may change to DSL with one of the phone companies. It's a wonder I have any hair left after tearing it out over Charter service and support.

    I cheat when I call them. I hit the button pretending I'm going to buy something, so I don't get put on hold or get the mechanical voice. That way, I get a real live person who will help me or, at least, transfer me to another real live person.

    Diane, I had a nice birthday, except for my frustration over the lack of internet access.

  11. Mimi ... A belated happy birthday. Somehow I missed it. Not surprising since there's a lot going on in my life at the moment, and my computer fun time has been quite limites.

  12. Happy Birthday Grandmere. Little late I know but nonetheless intended.

    I have, as threatened, posted the story of how my beloved and I got together on my blog today. It will explain the comment you noted from my post to your anniversary wishes.

  13. Ah, finally we all know what to get you for a birthday present: Unlimited internet access.

    I therefor declare, with the authority invested in me by absolutely no one and without any power to make it happen, that you are to have absolute, unrestrained, uninterrupted internet access for the rest of your living days.

    There. That ought to do it. Let me know if you have any more trouble and I'll call Brad Drell and blame him.

    (Happy Birthday anyway).

  14. Let's blame Drell anyway!

    Here, here for Elizabeth+'s motion.

    Do we have a second?

    (Said by another with even less authority vested in her than the unauthorized initiant.)

    ((((Missed you Mimi)))

  15. Happy belated birthday, Grandmère Mimi!

    I'm trying hard to keep up with y'all, but it's not easy. :)

  16. I've read Brad Drell a few times, but not often. I just can't do it.

    Someone, somewhere, on one of the blogs - I can't remember which - said that at GC03 there had been discussion about merging the Diocese of Louisiana with the Diocese of Western Louisiana. I hope that doesn't happen. The southern part of the state is a whole different country than north Louisiana.

    If I'm going to have unlimited internet access, I'm going to have to switch providers.

    Thanks for the birthday wishes. Late or not, I love them.
