    It's - so - HORRIBLE!!!

    Okay. I am going to breathe. I am going to stay calm.

    I love my MSN Messnger. Literally. And I had to go off the computer before. And now it won't work.

    *Takes deep breaths. 'In, out, in...'*

    I'm going to get to the point now.

    Some things you might want to know are:

    1) We have dial-up.
    2) I am not a technical sorta gal.
    3) I have no idea about our modem rate, LAN (what does that mean, by the way? Local Area Network? But what does that actually mean?)
    4) I have tried troubleshooting. Then repairing. But it still - won't - work!
    5) My email address is oxo-emzi-oxo@hotmail.com .
    6) It won't let me sign in.
    7) This has never happened before.
    8) My ISP (if that means Internet Service Provider) is AOL 7.0 .

    The first thing that pops up tell me that they were unable to sign me into MSN, possibly because of a problem with my internet connection. It gives me the option to troubleshoot (the code thing is 81000306). So I do so.

    Then it tells me the problem is with my Key Ports. It gives me the option to repair. I do so, only to find out MSN cannot help me. I am just going around in circles here. Please help me.

    I know I could be a little more specific. I just don't know what to be specific about!

    :mad: :( :confused: :cry: :eek: :( :shocked: :( :( :( :( :( :mad:

    Try restarting the computer...if you haven't already :). Solves most glitches :)

    If not, use an alternative, like Trillian or Gaim to connect to MSN :).

    THat's what I use.

    Ahem. (Read line 3 of my sig, Josh.)

    I would like to make an announcement:
    Josh is great. Josh is fab. And I also love stuff that rhymes with Josh. Such as...

    Well, there's - Tosh. Iba. Tosh-iba. And, erm... dosh. As in money. Mosh - as in the Eminem song. Josh! That rhymes with Josh! Oh. Oh, yeah. Erm... forget about the rhyming thing for now.

    The point is, restarting worked, and I am thick. Josh is ruler, I am just dumb. So we're all happy! :)

    But for future reference, what are Trillian and Gaim? And if you didn't get it - thanks! I am in your debt until tomorrow. (Approx 26 mins.) (Ooh, that means 7 days, 13 hours and 56 minutes until I got to South Africa!)

    Wash!!

    LOL, this reminds me of my friends and myself...sometimes I forget that a lot of people here are actually my age, what with talking to Kristal, SBW, Lynet, Mirelly, Michelle....you get the gist of it. I love that word. Gist. Is it pronounced with a soft G or a hard G? Gist, Gist, Gist. There aren't many things that rhyme with gist. Fist. Wist..fully. Dist? Is that a word? Bist?

    Yeah, just pretty much spamming. :D

    Ooh, you're going to South Africa? I've always wanted to go all over the world, but then I get freaked out because I imagine all the diseases you could catch in those kinds of places. My brother read a book about diseases once, and they talked about this doctor in Africa who didn't wear those protective face masks, and he was tending a patient one day and the patient threw up blood into the doctor's mouth! :vomit: Wow, it took me 5 minutes to find that smilie!

    Trillian and Gaim are third party messenger clients. Basically if you have AIM/ICQ/MSN/YIM/IRC/Jabber, you can connect all using one application rather than multiple apps. If you have just one, it's a fun alternative as sometimes you just don't want to load another application to do something else like IRC.

    You can find more information at their respective sites.

    Cheers hun!

    Well 123. Once again, for the second time on a thread (created by myself!) I am the most stupid person since ever. I rang my Dad as soon as I realised I hadn't had my injections for South Africa.

    After, of course, I ran around the house like a headless chicken in search of my mobile - which later turned out to be on the chair I was sitting on in the first place.

    I had to use the house phone. Panicking so much I couldn't dial properly. When I did get through he was scared to death because I was ringing from the house phone, and I normally ring him from my mobile. This was at 11:45pm (he works nihts) so I can understand where he's coming from. Oops.

    Anyway, the long and short of it is that I can go - the injections I had for Mexico should cover me for around three years yet, according to him. Please nobody try and change my mind. I'll be happy thinking I won't be returning in a wooden box.

    Well, I hadn't meant for you to get all freaked out and everything, but now everything's okay, right? :eek: How long will you be staying there?

    I would have gotten freaked out sooner or later, so don't worry!

    I'm going on Friday (1 week to go!) and staying for 17 days. I am restraining myself from whooping and yaying and being giddy. I am going to stay ... chilled. I don't want to get over-excited over anything from now on. Especially after last night's little episode. Ahhh. An island of calm.

    I wouldn't switch to Trillion however if you like all the nice features that come with MSN :)
