2. Write a blog post inspired by the word: frightful
I’m blogging from my phone. Things are frightful indeed when I have resorted to the desperate measures of this tiny phone.
My computer has officially waged a war with me. For the last few weeks it will randomly lose all internet connection. I go through my basic troubleshooting solutions. I reboot all the things, I diagnose all the problems, I call my internet provider…eventually something works and my internet access comes back to life. But the same solution rarely works twice.
Many times it shows zero WiFi connections for me to even select from even though ours is FINE. In those cases I plug in my phone and use my phone’s hotspot. Except sometimes my computer will not even allow that.
I got home at 8pm to work on today’s post and noticed it was going to be a battle with my computer. I quickly grabbed my link up code and saved everything before being exiled. It’s 11:30 now and I’m no closer to a solution than I was at 8pm. In fact, I followed a few YouTube tutorials and might have broken everything.
Sadly, I’m the IT Guy in this house so I think I might be out of luck. Will throwing my computer against a wall help anything? Because that’s what I feel like doing.

4. What does your birth sign say about you? Is it correct?

I have enough computers around here that, knock wood, I’ll never have to blog from my phone.
You might want to have someone (computer repair shop, Geek Squad etc.) look at your wi-fi card. Obviously you’re able to use the wi-fi in your house with your phone.

Ah, the new computer is going to let me comment on your posts! We use cable, so I don’t know anything about wifi, but I do know either the signal equipment or computer eventually need replacing. I was using a 10 year old desktop that started as Windows 7, upgraded to Windows 10 and in recent months just showed little signs it was beginning to struggle. (I’m a ‘don’t fix it if it ain’t broke kind of person) So, beginning 2020 with a new desktop with a dedicated graphics card that’s, kind of like the Bionic Man, “better, stronger, faster.”
I also learned from Dells website, they have an agreement with certain thrift stores, like Good Will, to recycle laptops, desktops, keyboards, mice, etc.
