Not posting due to internet problems

It's taking about 5-10 min for me to post.  Sometimes when is Submit, it takes longer than that and I don't know if my submission gets posted before I totally lose my connection.  It's frustrating and happens about once a year.  It's not affecting Outlook Express.  So, I guess I'm going to have to contact Verizon.

Luckily, I got my wife a netbook last year so she could use it at remote locations.  She can go to our library and get on the internet there.  It's really important for her since she's been looking for a job since 12-31-08. 

Well.. if it's any consolation- I'm having the same issues... lol.
