Keeping In Touch

We decided to start a blog to help update our family and friends of our whereabouts, thoughts, feelings, and life adventures. Hopefully this will be a great tool for us to keep in touch with all out there who care about us. Not to say that those who don't care about us shouldn't read our blog for valuable insight and some occasional laughs, but that the intended purpose of the blog will be for keeping in contact. And so, here it goes...

Internet problems...no wonder...

Though we shouldn't complain about the internet-as we could have been in place without internet for the last two years- I find there to be a few stories worth telling...

About a year ago I asked a coworker why the internet wasn't working at our office. He called up the internet company and they told him that America had turned off the internet, and he relayed this message to me...so, the joke was, anytime that we had internet problems we would just say, "I guess America turned it off again!"

That was until recently...We were having some problems with our internet turning off-and-on at home, so I went over to the internet office and told them of the problem. A technician came back over to our apartment and he headed up onto the roof...and naturally, out of curiosity, I thought I might just join him on his troubleshooting efforts...So I climbed up the ladder which led to the roof and this is what we found...no wonder there are internet problems here...the router looked as if someone had taken a lawnmower to an electrical box....

The guy found it to be a connection problem. He traced my cable through the jungle of other cables and found which port it had been plugged into...he disconnected it and re-spliced the wires so they might have a better connection and Voila!!! Internet has been great since...but I think the picture explains the problem fair enough...

  1. wow! that is pretty amazing. I'm glad America wasn't turning off the internet again. I hate it when they do that. Next time we have internet problems at the church can I say Mongolia turned off the internet?
