NWI INGO General Thread #26 - Pink Pooping Spiders & Raccons

Would it be worth trying to rent one?

If I could get the owner to return a call I was going to go buy a smaller compressor to get us by and serve as a backup in the future

What did she do

... and phones aren't working. No dial tone....again. Reboot the modem and got phones back. ...

Aside from the compressor issue, the phone issue. I've been badgered for years to switch to digital phone. Nope, aint doin it. I've had four AT&T hard lines since 1985, and they've never failed me. That's a long time. Not going to take a chance on internet phones until they shut off my lines. Hopefully, that'll be someone else's problem by then.

It may not be that long. Phone companies are shutting down their old PBXs. Not cost effective to keep them running anymore.

I was told that here in CP the wall jacks are digital already. Not sure if or how that affects you. It was a disappointment to me because even though the phones are plugged into the ancient wall jacks, if we have no internet, we have no phones.

What did she do

Payroll, union paperwork, secretary type work, some project management

We will survive just the timing and shock. Just venting on here don’t want to cause her anymore stress atm

Sadly the holidays are right before the end of the year, which is a common and convenient time to shut a site down.

The other part of the issue is physcial PARTS for those old equipment are not being made anymore and trying to find replacements is hard, very hard.

A lot of larger sites have non working equipment that they are holding for the spare parts for those sites that are still working. But eventually the rob Peter to pay Paul will come to an end.

I'm going to try to get the tree up today. Depends on how good I feel. We have two trees-- one with white lights that I put ornaments and the whole nine yards on--and a fiber optic one that is so pretty it doesn't need much, just a little tinsel and a topper. We'll see which one I put up. They are both 4' trees. When I set them on an end table in the living room window, they look like full sized trees from the outside. On the inside, there is room for presents on/under the table. The smaller trees need fewer decorations also.

Looks like it's a fiber optic day if I get it up at all. My balance is not good enough to put ornaments on, so I'll put up the fiber optic tree that has colors in its branch tips. Then just some gold garland and a topper.

That being said, it may not happen today. Mama Snap strained her back about ten days ago, and it's getting worse instead of better. We're headed to urgent care to make sure she didn't fracture anything. She has osteoporosis, and she has several compression fractures in her back already.

Ever since they switched us to fiber optic I've has nothing but issues. Sometimes it's the phones others it the internet and or cc machine. I have to do a reboot on the equipment at least once every 2-3 weeks. Real pain in the ass when cc is down because I don't know till it's time to use it.

Ran to harbor freight and picked up 2 compressors to get us by for now
