New internet service...

The internetman never came to fix our connection. The signal came by itself at the end of the last week. It means, our modem was not broken. It was a general problem but they never told us that. As I told you my mom made a contract with another company and the new "service" came in a box the same day we had back the signal from the other company. The man with the box told my grandma... "Sign here and enjoy your internet!" ???? The box was on the desk for almost a week... waiting for my mom to install it... And finally she did it yesterday!!

I like this one! Its spokesman is a dog!

It says... "Wireless kit"...

Wireless????

Here I am giving my mom moral support...
As you know my mom knows ZERO about all those things. But she got the courage and started following all the instructions... One cable here, another there, insert the CD, follow the steps... something went wrong... out the CD. In the CD.... some HBO words... out the CD! Finally the screen said "Congratulations!". Took away the cables... no signal... put again the cables, there it went the CD again.... more HBO words.... until she got it! Ufff!
She turn off everything and we went to have lunch. Then we came back, she turn on the laptop and it did not work. Off.... on.... off.... on.... nothing. I saw her and noticed she wanted to cry... I came close to her... she gave it another try and... Ta-Daaaa!
My mom likes the new internet. It is supposed to be the same velocity as the other but this works faster! Lets hope everything goes well from now on!

We watched again the Yankees!

And the parade too!

I hope you all are having a great weekend!

I'm so glad your internet is fixed!

I almost WENT to the Yankee parade. My boyfriend is a big Yankee fan and wanted to go, so we almost went, but I wasn't feeling so well and didn't want to wait in the crowd for so many hours. It was cold out, too!

We're so happy everything turned out just fine for you and your mom! You're a good helper, Lorenza!

Good evening lorenza
Congratulations on the birthday though it slowed.
お誕生日、おめでとうございます。
It can eat a wonderful cake momentarily.

Cheerleader's lorenza is very lovely.

The setting of wireless of the new Internet seems to be difficult.
However, if the setting ends, the happy Internet can be seen at high speed.
A wonderful weekend with Internet freedom.

Niamh said...

All those internet and computer things are a big pain. They have caused lots of HBO words in our house too Lorenza. I'm glad that your mom finally got it to work so that you can be connected.

Your friend,
Niamh

Cole said...

Congrats to your mom. I need to set up wireless in my house today. I hope it doesn't cause any HBO words!

Unknown said...

That is great.. super fast internet... all good things come to those who wait? What did you get for waiting to blog Lorenza?

My Mind's Eye said...

Lorenza Tell MOM we are VERY PROUD of her!!! Great job. My mom knows Minus Zero about technical stuff. But she too tries...it might take longer but at least our Moms are willing to try so that we stay connected. We love seeing your work space and where you sit to help mom with the Blog. We hope that nast Ida doesn't come your way. If so head for the covers..I'll be thinking of you.

Bijou said...

Hi Lorenza,

I am proud of your mom for getting the internet connected. My mom wants to get wireless when she has to get a new computer. I hope it will be a laptop, so we can do my blogging outside! BOL

Your mom had such patience and perseverance with that internet installation. Here's hoping it works really well and that way we won't have any interruptions in Lorenza time on our blog reading.
Happy Sunday, the OP Pack

Frankie Furter and Ernie said...

Congratulations to your mom. She managed to solve that wireless riddle. I know what you mean about the ???wireLESS???? thingy. I wish you could have seen behind mom's desktop computer BEFORE I caused her to tie up the wires. We won't go into those nasty details, Okay.
MY Yapstop is wireless!!! She did learn from that other experience. hehehe
You give your mom some extra licks for a job well done.

koko said...

Good job there... hope the new service will withstand hurricanes and all... no more down time else everyone gonna miss Lorenza.

I like your ridiculous story... that's really ridiculous but all out of love :)

Licks, hero

TwoSpecialWires said...

We recognize things in those pictures. Baskets of loads of toys. Miles of loads of wires. What's missing is the moma's bottom sticking out from underneath the desk! Hahaha! If only we could use those flashy boxes the way they do! The pictures we'd get! (But then again, maybe your moma didn't need to crawl underneath that desk.) The good news? She was SUCCESSFUL!

And ... a little late ... Hooray for the Yankees!

Love
Jake and Fergs xxoo

Homer said...

Wait wait... before I forget, I want to say that your mum did an excellent job for setting up the wireless internet (although it doesn't look wireless...).

Second of all, you are watching 2 TVs and I pressume surfing the internet at the same time? Man, you sure can multi-task!

Hi Lorenza
My mom got faster internet at home. But it's not fast enough. I hate computer problems.

Good thing your mom kept trying. \

p.s. Watching the Yankees win once (sob) was enough for me.

If it makes you feel any better, over Labor Day Weekend, the "Can You Hear Me Now" company service was not working....they told us each day to "stay home from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m." and they would be out to fix it....late on the Monday, they discovered something afoul in THEIR switching, and just turned it back on.... no comment on that.

Hector and Lola said...

Hi Lorenza! Our Mom wouldn't have been able to figure out how to connect and use all those cords and wires! It looks hard! She must be very smart. :) -Hec and Lola

Congratulations on the new Internet! My Momma doesn't like setting up those things up either, and she always makes my Pops do it. But even he is pretty clueless sometimes, especially about the Internet!

ocmist said...

I know my Mom gets frustrated with any of those wired OR wireless thingys... but then she asks Robert to fix it, and he does. She doesn't know how she'd get along technically without him!

So glad that she got it all figured out and hope you enjoy your new internets! OC
