I was going to be lazy and put in a phone entry, when my mother called. I answered the call waiting beep, and forgot that I was on the other line with aol. So, when my call ended with my mom, I hung up....and the phone immediately rang. I didn't see a caller id, so I quietly listened, said hello and hung up. Afterward I remembered I had not disconnected with aol, but knew it wouldn't record since you have to push the # key. However, it apparently did record....my one word entry. Whoopie ding!
So, here I sit, after a lengthy "live technical help" session with aol. Not regarding the journal entry, but the fact that I have been disconnected from the service no less than 10 times today, can't retrieve my mail without freezing or being booted, and there is no way I can even instant message. It is so frustrating, especially when I am paying a small fortune each month for broadband. Of course, I complain yet am so addicted I would never get rid of aol....so they got me. *Sigh.
I have an e-mail waiting with, I'm sure, 10 pages of instructions on how to fix all of my problems....and me being the technical genius that I am, will probably screw it up so bad that I won't be able to get on for the next week.
So, I'm off to read and print and hopefully fix my mess. Fingers crossed I'll be posting tomorrow....and if not, you know you can count on a one-word phone entry, which, if I've screwed things up, will be a completely un-veiled vulgarity!

Well, I didn't need a pimping, nor felt you needed to explain, but both are okay.
By the way, you look simply marvelous in your photo to the left.

Un-vailed vulgarity? Out of your mouth? NO WAY!!!! You don't swear do you? Is this prim and proper image of you to be shattered? tune in tomorrow for, "AS THE WORDS TURN, OR, "NAME THAT VULGER WORD!" Hugs Lanny
AOL and I have a love/hate relationship as well. My husband gets a discount and we only pay 3 bucks a month... now that I have found J-land, I don't think I could leave. I guess they are a lot like husbands sometimes, you can't live with them, or without them.
Have a great Memorial Weekend!

Glad once again that I'm not the only one having a ROUGH time with AOL today...freezing and "not responding"...lol...Yes, a small fortune paid for a month of stress and hair pulling!! haha

The AOL stuff is happening with us as well. I too won't switch from AOL. Maybe it's because I've been with them since almost their existance. Hopefully you won't have to hard of a time fixing everything. Good luck!
Glad to know I am not the only one getting frustrated with aol lately. Sure wish they would get their stuff together and work out their bugs!! Good Luck on fixing it, and I hope it works!! Julie
you are so funny I'M CRACKING UP OVER HERE...i can't believe you did that! I wish I was here to listen! Dammit! Gordy is lucky!
Good luck with the "instructions" AOL emails to you! Whenever they send me instructions they are not even on the subject or problem I called on!! I swear they just look through their index of problems, and pick one with their eyes closed, and that's the one you get! It's more frustrating calling AOL than trying to figure things out yourself I think personally. But, then again, if you bitch enough to AOL they will give you free months, so it's worth the hassle sometimes. And, no matter how well they train their "techs" in India, they still don't get it! There is something that gets lost in the problem and the translation. Like I said, more frustrating trying to call them!!
Hugs and love, Lisa
Good luck, Sherry! I hope you can get all of the bugs worked out. Love, Kim :o)
Hope you get it worked out soon :)
I'll bet they told you to completely delete AOL from your computer and reinstall it. It seems everytime I have a problem, that what I have to do. I hope you got it all figured out and everything is working for you. ~Melissa
I have days when I get disconnected time and time again, and then I have other days when it doesn't happen once. Sometimes I think that AIM thing screws with my computer because if I turn it off, I don't get disconnected so much. I don't even have broadband--what's the difference, besides the price? Hope you got it all fixed. I do the aol computer checkup and then follow the instructions on how to fix it and usually it helps.
