I will be posting new stuff soon!

Hey everyone! I know it's been a while since I have posted anything new but I have gone through some massive computer/internet drama over the past 3 weeks. It started out with my old computer dying so I ordered a new Dell (computer #1) from Best Buy online. When I got it and tried to use the internet nothing would happen, nothing would pull up, it would just be a blank page. So I took it in to Best Buy and they figured out that it had a bad internet card in it. So I got computer #2 a Toshiba, I got it home and tried the internet and it was really slow and sometimes it wouldnt load the page at all. So I called up Geek Squad and they said it had to be my interney provider. So I called my internet provider, AT&T Uverse, and they said my internet was working fine which I believed because all the other computers in the house are working just fine, so I took computer #2 back to Best Buy. The Geek Squad there "tested it" by using their internet and going to 3 websites and said it was fine, but I said it did not work right at home, so they exchanged it for computer #3, back to the Dell. I get the Dell home and the same thing happens, internet is running slow and wont open certain pages. So I called up Geek Squad again where they insisted it was my internet provider, so I called AT&T and they came out and replaced our equipment even though the internet worked fine on the other 3 computers in the house. But guess what...it didnt fix it, the internet still didnt work on the computer. So I called Geek Squad back up where I finally got a guy who sounded like he knew what he was doing. We were on the phone for almost 2 hours working on the computer when nothing worked he said that I was going to have to delete everything on the computer and reupload the computer from the backup disc. I said "no, I havent loaded anything on it because I am only using it for internet right now and internet web page building and I cant load any of that without the internet. So that is pointless" So I took the computer back to Best Buy where after arguing with the little 10 year-old manager for 20 minutes with my kids screaming in my ear, he finally agreed to exchange the computer so now we are computer #4, the internet is still running extremely slow, Im having trouble uploading pictures, and I am about ready to pay the ridiculous amount ($150) to have Geek Squad come to my house and see for themselves that the internet isnt working on this computer!!!!! So I promise I havent gone anywhere. I have tons of stuff to post I just need the internet to do so. So keep checking in and I hope to be up and running by the end of the week!!!!!!
~LOVE~
