After much wailing and gnashing of teeth - I now have cable, electricity, and phone again.
I live in a tropical rain forest and one of our 200 trees took out our feed lines from our lovely over land telephone poles.
Well apparently - you need 15 different agencies to handle each inch of the repair - sheesh.
Long story short, cable and electric are back, phone maybe by monday.
Apologies for crifting Friday and my fantastic GP/DH group. I need to get someone's cell phone one day - felt like such a boob not being able to tell anyone what had happened. I am sure some wonderful person picked up the reins as usually happens in this family - a salute you even though I dont know who did yet : ).
Party to go to tonite (bleh) - but should be back in game tomorrow. Miss you all.
