  • what wud you do?

    i cant get on the internets it says somethign about the dial tone
    ok , well that means that your computer’s picking up the phone line and not hearing a dial tone. you should check your cables to be sure they’re plugged in properly. If they are, it might be a problem with your modem.
    i put america online on there, you reckon that got anything to do with it?
    i dont think so, no dial tone means somethings not right with the connection
    what would you do if you were me?
    check the phone cable
    i put that america online on there, you think that’s it
    i think it’s the cable
    what would you do if you were me? call america online?
    you could try that
    cuz i put that america online on there
    ok
    what would you do?
    i’d restart the computer
    restart it?
    yea
    ok
    ok
    then i’ll call america online
    ok
    bye

    today i heard some old lady in the local bojangles say “There’s one thing about the weather, it’s the only thing the government can’t control”

  • exchanged

    recently instead of saying “she drove around the parking lot” i said “she scrolled around the parking lot” same thing

  • whats wrong?

    Yea, my computer wont do nothing.
    ok, it wont come on?
    no it wont come on. but i got this wierd error message on the screen
    but…
    it says there was an error in .. oo wait it just cut off again
    ok turn it back on
    the computer?
    yea
    ok, but i need to wait 10 minutes before i can turn it on
    why is that?
    that’s what that other guy told me
    no, go ahead and turn it on
    ok its on. now it wont do nothing again
    ok whats on the screen
    that same thing
    what same thing?
    that i had before
    what does it say?
    i dont know, it just says all this crazy stuff
    but i need to know what’s the error
    it just has this thing. it’s a blue screen and in the right there’s this one box and on the left is another line and at the bottom it has ok and cancel.
    ok, so what’s the wording there?
    it just says cancel

    *sigh*
