I am SO HAPPY! For about two and a half weeks I have been without internet. Well, not exactly. You see, by some weird freak quirk of my computer, I could access my email, but not actual internet browsing. I couldn’t Dope for weeks. Going from 2-3 posts a day to nothing cold turkey was fucking lethal. Plus school had started. The need to rant and rave and expound on the evils of public education was immense. [sub][sup]And I couldn’t _Dope!_[/sup][/sub] Then **Rogue Istari** fixed it. Just tonight. There was much rejoicing. And I love him. Thank you, dude. You are champ. ---

I know the feeling. We just moved from an apartment into a house [sup]Woohoo[/sup] and had no service (internet or cable) for about two weeks before Time Warner could come hook us up. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Searching For Truth \* > **For about two and a half weeks I have been without internet.** Ha! Two and a half weeks is nothin’! I was out for almost 2 months when I moved to NY. Couldn’t access the internet at work, no internet access at the place I was staying, only sporadic posting when I went to **lurker’s** … you had it easy, I tell you, EASY! 😃 Welcome back, and may your internet always run smoothly! ---

So that my thanks goes to the proper mis-named source, please feel free to let **Catalyst** know how much he rocks if you see him post. Since he’s a chronic lurker however, you probably won’t see him post…ever. But the man deserves some love.
