Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

shrift, if I remember correctly, Lion's Club does glasses recycling. You might see if they have a branch near you if you don't find other takers.

Finally caught up just in time to sign off and start getting ready to go out. Going to see Wicked tonight!

so on networks, at what point, how many users, would a slowdown become obvious. if it was just normal internet use?

For me, it's immediate; I can't surf the web if I'm watching anything on Hulu. But then I am still on DSL.

I have a locked one that I synch with on my computer and my phone and the TiVO and the Wii. Rarely all of those in use at once, but often 3. I also have a unlocked guest networked that mac uses for his computer and phone. For some reason we had sues getting his PC to work nicely with the locked down one. Was just wondering if any of my neighbors also use the unlocked guest network.

Thrive to spite them

My old network name was The Hub but when I changed routers I just kept the default Netgearwhatever.

I don't have a lot of neighbors in wi fi range but one network is Gramma.

SSIDs I can currently see with non-default names:

  • my angels
  • House of Bruz
  • Baby
  • Hi Wi-Fi Vo
  • Hawkeyes
  • SweetPea
  • Thatch

I took the money I got from Hubby's car and put it towards a major tune up and oil change on my Jeep. New plugs, ignition wires, distributor cap, plus a tune up of the fuel system. 3 hours, $500. I could hear Hubby mumbling "I could have done all that," but he often said that, and things never got done, and while I've got the money I'm having professionals do the job right.

It runs much smoother now. Which is just as well, as snow is happening.

Karma is a cat, sleeping in my lap cuz it loves me. ~TS

Y'all are making me want to change mine up (from its current, factory-installed name).

In my apartment building, the most interesting ones are NSA SURVEILLANCE, blubberbrix, The_Chaunce, thetransient and ImOnTheInternet. Everything else is names or factory names.

I wanna name mine The Bronze, but I have to hook up the ethernet cable to do it, which means finding the ethernet cable. Blech.

Thanks! I actually found a list of places where they have drop boxes on their website earlier, so I'm going to try that.
