For what it's worth, I also prefer to think of you in bedroom slippers.

I am trying to use my laptop at a relative's house. I can establish a connection to the router, over which other machines (like the one I am now on) can use the internet, but my machine's browser cannot retrieve material from the internet. A couple of times, briefly, just after re-establishing the connection with the wireless network, I can retrieve some of a page, but then it stops working. This makes me think that the problem is a setting on my laptop. I'm using XP. My Windows and McAfee firewalls are turned off. I'm running out of other ideas. My sanity over the next few days probably depends on the combination of internet access and alcohol. Help me if you can....

If you want to woo me, jazz is not gonna do it. I need a little Crystal Method, maybe Fleetwood Mac. And I am NEVER too drunk to fuck. I don't even know what that means.

By the way, PLF never showed up last night so I have a coworker who is wandering about downtown giving UF to unsuspecting individuals.

Some look like total slobs, others look retarded. leggings, a skirt, and lucite platforms in a patent leather look ridiculous.

I'm really more cut out for a casual attire sort of a job. I could wear Joe's Jeans and a cashmere v-neck sweater every day of my life and be happy. I've come up with semi-casual Thursdays. It is a necessity in order to get me into work on Thursdays at this point. Yesterday I wore cargo pants and a v-neck cashmere sweater. My firm should start seriously worrying when I turn Wednesdays into mostly casual Wednesdays. It is only a matter of time.

I have the same issue at home. My wife's IBook suddenly went on the fritz and wouldn't connect to the internet, so I called Apple and they took me through steps to reset our Apple AirPort wireless router. Now my computer won't connect to the net, and no matter what I do, I can't make it work. My ISP provider very candidly suggested I "throw away" my AirPort (says they never work well). It's insanely frsutrating.

The issue, as I'm told, is that my router is not accepting my computer's IP Address. How I cure that I have no idea. I'm just going to throw out the fucking piece of shit router and buy a PC-compatible product. I like Apple's stuff, but save the ITunes (which is wonderfully easy), its all more trouble than its worth. Fuck Apple.

To be honest, I don't do it much. But not usually.

I have connected to this particular wireless network before, too. So maybe a Windows or McAfee download changed something?

Thank you for this pre-emptive strike at Burger's forthcoming response to my plea.

You might want to find a local McDonalds or Panera Bread... someplace with free WiFi, so see if it's a problem with your computer/modem or with their wireless router. After that, I'm out of suggestions, I'm afraid. You're at the spot where I'd usually call my daddy or my boyfriend.

PM me if you want me to call my daddy or my boyfriend for you.
