I am really bent out of shape over these internet problems!

Well, not exactly wireless, in fact it’s about wires, but there were two guys here yesterday and one of them, fortunately, was skinny enough and young enough (read: what else could he do–it’s a job and he’s just beginning) to crawl UNDER our house and check out the wiring for trouble since our internet was not working properly and papa wanted a cable run to MY, er, mama’s computer, so that I could, er, we could work more easily and faster without having the internet disappear into cyberspace every few hours or days or so, and NOW, one day later, our internet is as slow as the proverbial tortoise and let’s hope he wins THIS race.

Papa called our internet company and they are “watching” it for 24 hours to see “what’s up”…

And that poor kid under the house found that the wires were all EATEN BY A RAT, which is why we were not receiving our internet properly and when the kid under the house saw what had happened, he was up out of that hole he had crawled into about as quick as a kitty can pounce on a mouse..er…rat.

So you might ask yourself:  What at YOU doing to help the household, Loulou, and are you AWARE that there are RATS eating the wires of YOUR computer connection and that YOU will not be able to contact your sweet blogger friends if this keeps happening.

Hey, you talkin’ to ME?  Wait a minute.  I have NEVER professed to be a rat catcher and let me tell you, I’m not about to begin.  Have you ever SEEN the rats around here? (Actually, no, we have never seen one, none of us, but my neighbour told me he saw one once around 1987…).

Still, it only takes one gnaw-er to upset the Apple cart, haha.

Uh, oh, THEY are giving me that look.  I’m outta here.  Maybe I can find a Jack Russell somewhere soon to take care of this.

HEY, wait a minute.  YOU ARE NOT BRINGING ANYTHING RESEMBLING THIS INTO THIS HOUSE.

Where did you say that door is to the hole down under?
