With my modem (“moe-DEM”) taking a powder and my computer consequently on the fritz, I have resorted to texting. Thought this exchange with my son was fairly amusing (typos preserved for artistic effect!)…

Susie: Gee rebooted umpteen times still no go sometimes forty eight pop ups that send receive errors happened whaaaa

Roy: I am certain kconline was down, I called several times and couldn’t get through to a tech. You would get send and receive errors because the computer could not get access to them because they are down.

Roy (a few hours later): I just called and they said you should be ok now.

[NOTE: In actuality, we discovered, the computer was NOT “ok”…in fact, the modem is fried]

Susie: No wonder steve jobs is dead just sent message which failed i said i welcome the break pardon the pun luv u

Roy: Amen! I love you too. So sorry I acted like a poop [on the phone, around the time of the above “note”!]

Susie: That is okay tee hee and lol u were probly shocked my modem is broken not surprising to me cuz i sit on the floor with it a lot and now i am poking this f ing thingie

Roy: You are a saint! Thanks for your engineering prowess!

Susie: Yes i am and steve jobs was the devil would rather have wired my bible to moses the old fashioned way
