Limiting Internet Time - Shot Talk

**ezra76** · iTrader: (4) #1 (**permalink**) 10-17-2007, 05:07 PM

Apparently my GF did not pay our Cable/Interntet bill. I can't connect through my landline and digital cable is out. Oddly I still have cable but looks like some sort of expanded basic. No GolfChannel but I've got most everything else.

I think I'd like to just leave it this way. I've been spending too much time on the internet. I can still connect wirelessly, like I am now. I probably won't be able to get on all the time though. Anyway, if I do leave it like this, I'll be around less on here I guess. It's time I get off the net and do something though, I spend way too much time on here.

Well...that sucks.

Any reason in particular?

**ezra76** · iTrader: (4) #3 (**permalink**) 10-17-2007, 05:55 PM

Reason for what? Not paying the bill? That's my fault, I spend over 1/3 of my income on golf and another 1/3 on cigarettes and coffee.

Spending less time on the internet? It's all I do for hours on end. I need to get on with my life, lol.

Here I am still though. This connection is solid and fast. I think the girl on the 1st floor must have a wireless router now. This thing has to be really close by to be this quick and solid.

I'll believe it when I see it, and am guessing that will simply mean you will be around more. You will simply be waiting longer for the pages to load.

Less TV and Internet are better. My fat ass doesnt need to spend anymore time on the couch, thats why I will never buy a Tivo.

Personally, the time i spend at home is relaxing watchin TV and screwin around on the computer, but that's because generally most of the day i'm either out on the course or in class/doing hw.

TV/computer are what I use just to chill and relax. But I also spend on avg 3-4 hours a day on the course at least, and the 2 hr walk there and back

, once I get a car, then ill have that extra 2 hours to stay on the course

You should leave ur bag there lol.

They offered that I could, but I just don't feel comfortable leaving my golf bag somewhere that i've lived for just over a month, rather keep them in my room with me. Probly better odds theyll get stolen outta my room, but I have piece of mind seeing them every time im in the room throughout the day (being literally 3ft from my bed

)

How big is the bag lol, mine would hurt to much. ( push carter , lol )

. Do you have a link, please, lol. ?

Of my bag? Its a ping j bag. its just a normal carry bag that you'd see most jr's playing with.

Full set of clubs, some minor things, and my shoes are usually are what i'm carrying.

I went over to my parents house recently and had my daughter's laptop with me...there were some files on it that I needed to show to someone.

After I fired it up....I found I had wireless connectivity....must have been from a neighbor's house. But these are large lots (for a suburban area). The houses are at least 200 feet apart.

I cruised the internet just fine for half an hour on somebody's connection....

Our city is considering going 'wireless' - putting internet access points on all the telephone poles that have the local cable company's cables connected to them. I think it would be great...free wireless anywhere in the town....

I'm just a younger, better and better looking you jeff

**JEFF4i** · iTrader: (2) #14 (**permalink**) 10-17-2007, 10:44 PM

Better looking? Not bloody likely.

Lil_Huth · iTrader: (0) #15 (**permalink**) 10-17-2007, 10:58 PM

Okay I am in the same situation as both of you guys(Jeff and Sand). Only I am better looking than both of you. But you can both kick my ass on the course.
