My Internet was up and down today, like the stock market!...

So, the Internet's down Why the frown?? As my friends predicted I'm totally addicted I could read a book yet I sit here and pout 'Cos what I want is currently out Hey, I'll call a friend -- Hm. Their lines are all busy I'm thinking Ben must be home The question is: Is he? OK! Alright! Enough is enough! What's happened to me? I used to be tough Ready: I'm steeling myself now. Grrrr... ~ Guess there's no iron in creampuffs!

I always say "if the internet gets terrorized and goes down during this pandemic, there will be real H to live with."

Wow, Love the frustration, Gershon, a poem to include so many of us, when the net is down....

Scary how dependent I've become on an electronic gadget. Then again, I take too many pills as well... And so it goes... Thanks, Harry!

That's what happens when we get used to the pc. We can't function without it. A fun and timely read my friend. God Bless, JB

Thank you, JB... Actually I'm not quite that addicted. I did find something else to do... But it sure wasn't 'automatic,' like it would have been just a couple of years ago. Cheers, Gershon
