Writing in Snow

Tuesday Afternoon Internet Issues

Fiḍál (Grace), 14 ‘Alá’ (Loftiness), 173 BE - Tuesday, March 14, 2017 CE

The internet is slow, I'm having trouble accessing some websites because I get a timed out error. I'm not sure what's going on so I'm waiting on the phone to Cox. I suspect there could be some type of problem because all the reps are busy with other customers. There is definitely something going on because I attempted to log into my Cox inbox and the connection timed out again. I know I shouldn't complain because I still have a connection to writing.com, but I don't know why the Cox website gives me a time out when I attempt to check my e-mail. I also had the same issue when I was doing surveys on the Inbox Dollars website. The surveys would timeout before I even got into the survey.

This morning I responded to two blog prompts in "Melting Snow" . The prompts I responded to were from "30-Day Blogging Challenge ON HIATUS"  and "Blogging Circle of Friends " . This afternoon I responded to the prompt for "Blog City ~ Every Blogger's Paradise"  and posted it in "Welcome to My Life" . I still have a prompt from "Blogging Circle of Friends "  for Monday, March 13, I haven't responded to. I think I'll respond to it in "Snow Scribbles"  as part of the 44 short stories I didn't complete in 2016. I know it's too late to get credit for the stories, but at least I'll have finished them.

Update on the Internet issue. I talk to a Cox internet tech who said there was some sort of issues causing part of the internet to go down. She said just to keep working on those sites I can access and the rest would be up about 9:00 PM tonight. That's fine with me because I don't have to access my Cox inbox or for that matter do any more surveys today. The surveys I didn't get done today I'll attempt to do tomorrow between reviews. Wednesday is the Ides of March which is scheduled for Port Raids. I'll focus on the Port Raids while checking a couple of three survey websites. I'd just as soon not have any more surveys time out on me. I don't mind the Inbox Dollars surveys timing out because as long as I attempt them I'll get spin credit which means I might ear a few cents on some of the spins.
