Roughly a week?
Cool!

DSL installation here took about two days.
We would have been up and running in under one day, but there was a minor snag, Fed Ex dropped off the DSL modem box at the wrong address.
(Fed Ex in my area is often at the wrong address.)

[DollyCali]

Called for appt.. ist appt is NOT until the 20th... then I will be fast(er)... I HOPE!.. and that gives a week to shovel out things here!

[Darksheare]

Should be very fast on the installation.

For DSL we just had to put up signal filters on the phone jacks.
Cable modem I don't know much about asthe local cable company said of cable internet, "You can do that?"

For Example

Read:
1 Thessalonians 1

Shepherd the flock of God . . . [by] being examples to the flock. —1 Peter 5:2-3

Bible In One Year: 2 Chronicles 33-36

A mother cheetah brought a live gazelle fawn to her 5-month-old cubs and released it. After the cubs made several unsuccessful attacks, the mama cheetah intervened and showed them how to "catch dinner."

I observed a similar technique used by a life insurance salesman. After he told me about the benefits of a particular policy, he shared how much coverage he had for his own family. His words took on new meaning because he demonstrated by his own example how to insure a family adequately.

If we want to teach others the art of knowing God and serving Him, we can't overemphasize the importance and the power of example. That's how Christ and His apostles communicated the same message. Their obedience to God was seen in flesh-and-blood terms that were easily understood.

Leadership by example is contagious. When Paul mentioned the Thessalonians, who had become "followers of us and of the Lord," he said that they also "became examples to all in Macedonia and Achaia" (1 Thessalonians 1:6-7).

Leadership is more than something that automatically goes with an official title like Dad, Mom, Pastor, or Teacher. Those who want to lead and help others must first of all be good examples. —Mart De Haan

All in vain is splendid preaching
And the noble things we say;
All our talk is wasted teaching
If we do not lead the way. —Anon.

You cannot teach what you do not know, nor lead where you do not go.

I visited the Smithsonian Institution today. Do you know it was made possible by James Smithson who left about a half million dollars to America to set up an institute for the ongoing education of mankind?
Well he did. He was an Englishman--even though he was born in France and buried in Italy--his remains now rest in the Castle of the Smithsonian. I have said for years that the Smithsonian is greatest free show on earth--forget the free--It is the greatest show on earth. Everybody on earth should pay it a visit.

Thanks Darks, that's very sweet of you.

[Victoria Delsoul]

Thanks for the reminder, Dolly. Hope you're enjoying your evening.

[Victoria Delsoul]

Thanks for your post, Mayor.

[Darksheare]

Welcome.

[Victoria Delsoul]

How are you doing, Darks? Is the guy still giving you troubles?

[Darksheare]

Apparently they were a previously banned poster who'd retread multiple times as guessed.
He and his thread have gone bye bye.

[Victoria Delsoul]

Great.

[Darksheare]

I think I'd run across him in one of his previous guises.

[Victoria Delsoul]

Well, I'd love to have a word with him, just for fun. I'll wait for his next apparition. LOL!

[Darksheare]

LOL, should I run across him and recognise him, I'll let you know!
