Oh my I am seriously Gather adicted!! lol

I got home from Indy on Sunday night, checked out some posts on Gather and headed to bed. 

I woke up Monday morning to no internet & no phone!!!!! The entire grid was down, so even the library was without internet.  And I thought about going in there!

So I wake up this morning at 9am to a call from the phone company making sure, our phone service was back up. 

I checked my personal email, and business email addresses first.  And then my Gather/survey/paid emails address. 

Man, am I going to be busy!!!!!!

Lots of us are now bundled with services and lose everything when the power goes out. That is the only justification for keeping a landline phone!
Becca J. Jan 27, 2009, 1:03pm EST
My phone & internet are bundled so it makes it so hard!!!

Now they are calling for ice tonight, hopefully I don't lose it again, lol

Glad its back up. Mine went down about a week ago and I had a panic attack! No joke! Probably because we had no phone and I don't like being without a phone (safety reasons) I live in the middle of no where, if I screamed, NOBODY would here me. :( And the fact that I missed Gathering didn't help. lol We're all addicted!!! :)
