I feel used
I feel used by Boo. That is all.
So in order to not feel so used, I am using my neighbor. Comcast is out and I have no tv and no internet. So...*looks around* shhhhh, I am piggybacking off of my neighbors wireless.

piggybacking? Is that code?
Being used by Boo would be/could be a good thing, I would think. :)
OMG! No Survivor? No The Office?
*shudder*
LOL. We did the same thing on Wednesday. Our landscapers cut our Comcast cable line so everything was out. DH was able to piggyback.on the neighbor's wireless :-)
I suppose that is one good thing that comes from living "in town."
I'm confused. So you carry the TV on your back and then you can watch it?
*pout*
Why don't you ever use me?
Oh well. They should've known you would need their internet some day.
Ack! So you didn't get to watch the game?
Luckily, it got reconnected. Apparently Comcast disconnected ours by mistake. They were supposed to disconnect someone else's. Good thing they had a tech that could come out right away. Normally it takes them days. But I cried and whined enough until she found a slot. I was back online and had cable by 4:30pm my time.
Comcast sounds so evil.
FTR, Boo can use me anytime. And I'm glad you peeked in, carey.
I have no experience with it but Comcast people do seem to have a lot of trials and tribulations?
How do you piggyback off your neighbor's wireless? Don't you need a compatible receiver?
So we have Boo to thank for your return?
Yes, Boo is the only reason that I posted. :)
Next door's wireless is unsecure. So anyone can just grab the airspace and piggyback off of them. My wireless is secured. So you can't piggyback if you don't have my password.
What did Boo do?
I'm scared to piggyback. Do they know when you're doing it?
She's just a user. That's all. And a rejecter of cookies. Hrmph.
Nope. They can't tell if you are piggybacking. It's airspace. And by them not securing their line, it leaves the airspace up for grabs. My brother lived in Boston for a couple of years and never paid for internet. He piggybacked off neighbors the entire time. I think HD was doing that too. There isn't anything unethical about it. Michelle does it at work too. Her neighbor knows because Michelle told her and she doesn't care.
If someone is worried about another person using their airspace, they would secure it. Otherwise it's fair game. I have two neighbors who do not secure theirs.
Interesting. I've noticed two wireless networks pop up when I start my computer, one is secured, the other isn't. Maybe I'll have to give that a try. :)
Yep. Just click connect and then from now on when you turn on your computer it will automatically connect to that network.
God I love technology. *grin*
See, when you live out in the sticks there are not a lot of dumb neighbours about, ripe for the picking.
Living in an apartment building, I'm surprised there is only 1 dumb neighbor that I can steal from.
How far does the signal reach, Carey?
I used a guy once. Or maybe I thought about using him. But then I slept with him and realized that wasn't going to be a good idea. Especially for a lifetime.
*waits patiently for Breezy to resend cookies* I saved some milk in the jug just for your cookies. I wonder if Breezy tied the ribbons back on.
I am glad you are back. *smooch*
The neighbors signal strength isn't good enough for me to piggyback. :(
*throws underwear around*
Underewar is so last year.
*hic*
*snaps Coco's bra and tongue kisses her*
I was watching football and I could have been watching women with no underwear kissing each other? Damn me.
Wow. I feel so violated.
I bet Zombie spiked my wine.
You are all welcome!
Cookies should arrive today!
Can I have a piggyback ride?
Should I make this the piggyback thread?
*oink oink oink oink*
*takes off pants*
