Still nothing. I\u2019ve had a high speed DSL connection since the mid-90\u2019s. I was among Bell Sympatico\u2019s earliest subscribers. I shouldn\u2019t be exposed to this kind of thing now.

So, at least part of my weekend was normal. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dark Water Muse has a terrible weekend: Offline nobody can hear you scream Like, Oh My God!
