When I come into apartment, keys must be put in the same place.<br /><br />As to filing...after being caught out with paperwork a few times, I try to attend to stuff as it comes in. As you know, this doesn't always work. All paperwork is filed, if not actually in specific file, then more likely on top of the files in my filing box. At least that way, I know where to look. This regime was implemented after a nasty telephone stoush with someone at Centrelink who refused to believe me about something. At least I now know where the papers will be.

As you found out, this worked for you.<br /><br />If internet is still down, turn off the router for a good ten minutes or so. That's the gadget with the antenna and the lights, possibly branded Netcomm.<br /><br />Then reboot computer, turn router back on and try to find your homepage or whatever. Just give it something to look for. It may take a minute or so or even another reboot. This usually works and is much better than ringing ISP where I get some overseas call centre with an operator whose accent I cannot understand. Also save a phone call to either son.<br /><br />Router usually has a button switch somewhere on the back.Janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04324917828815299886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7301215723729061662.post-6968689039715035112012-11-17T15:20:52.232+11:002012-11-17T15:20:52.232+11:00If only we could halt mail delivery for six months...If only we could halt mail delivery for six months! Then I'd be able to get caught up. As it is, if I take care of three important pieces of paper, seven more will arrive that same day by mail. There is no way to win.mollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03797484583400519909noreply@blogger.com
