RETIRED Marlboro Outwit the West Funny Farm

Hi all,

I started this thread for anyone who wants to come here for lite discussion, jokes, and just general discussion and fun.

Everyone is welcome!

I was thinking that maybe it would be helpful to keep the original thread to a bit more of a serious discussion of the clues and answers.

This would make the original thread more useful to those seeking serious information and clues without having to read through hundreds of extraneous messages.

So, I hope it catches on !

So pop a beer and pull up a chair and relax !

There ya go, I wasn't sure cuz I have cable. I was reading on Jak's link about the service. Call the place where you just bought that modem ya have and ask if ya need a different one for high speed. If ya do they would probably let ya return that one for another. You can probably do all this today. So,...Get to it!!
Here Veasie ... bundle phone and internet $55

Ok, When I bought this, he said they don't have phone connections in them anymore, so I had to buy external modem. It plugs in back of computer and phone line plugs into it. Is this the kind of modem you're talking about. It comes up in device manager as USB Modem. What is the next step, can I go onto Aol.com and order it up from there?





I'm not that good either blondeey, but the FF helps us through!
That is what I have. A little box sits next to my computer. A phone line comes in from the wall (same phone number but they put in a DSL line which only does dsl) has nothing to do with my telephones. Then it goes to the back of the computer. It is wireless also so it works my netbook in the other rooms but the desktop is wired.

We have Verizon DSL..... called them and they sent the modem and plug in phone filters for free. Took all of 10 mins for us to hook up
Leave it to you to get it for free. Wonder why I had to pay? Is it a wireless box also?

Wow , I had a bunch of you quoted and only these 2 came up. Sorry.

MT, I think I was formerly Sprint, someone's always changing their name

Downloading Chrome now, when that's done, I'm gonna go to these links, and Sprok, I might go to that bundle one first. Chrome usually works better for me.

Dabbs, I'm sure I"l yak on more than anyone needs.LMAO

Jak and/or Ang, can' remember what I was gonna reply to, but thanks anyhow.

I can handle buying a modem(if the one I got isn't the right kind), and connecting it myself. Is there I way for me to do that, and then sign up online?
no one has to come to your house.. AT&T can send ya the shit ya need and assist by phone with the online process..I just preferred not to dic with it and it was a free service installation for the initial set up.. so it worked for me.. plus.. I have a thang for Service Technicians..

*shakes head* Mornin veas.. I know you would reallyyyyyyyyyyyyy love DSL even at their lowest package..
DSL is totally life changing! I bundle my phone and internet and was paying $40 for unlimited calling and the highest speed download. Was going through AT&T. Got a better bundle price through Mediacon and switched because I wanted cable and AT&T didnt have a TV plan here. Now I pay $120 for everything but $60 of that is for TV.
I could NEVER go back to dial up. Some things are just worth paying the price for. TP, dish soap and DSL are the only things I wont go cheap on!!
