Bad internet connection

I've been trying to get back to blogging but we've been having connection problems. Nothing is more annoying than being given an error code and told to go to a website to look up the meaning of said code. Duh! Anyway, Barry figured out that it has something to do with the fact that our tv is connected to our laptop and using that as the monitor slows everything way down or disrupts the connection to the internet. Not sure if that true but since he's stopped surfing on the 'net via the big screen tv, the problem has gone away! So now to update with the stories and pictures from the last month!
