Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Triple Whammie (Being Prepared)
What a end to 2017 and start of 2018.
Well we had the huge Thomas Fire on my back door at the end of this year which sadly cost the home of a friend of mine but the flooding that followed this new year has been devastating. Basically we have one way out of my area the 101 fwy which was down both directions for many days and still down going north. Are only exist is south. Hopefully Northbound will be cleared within a week.
The tragic lose of lives with this flooding in my area can't compare to the inconveniences I have had but somethings to consider going forward. I want my regular landline phone back for starters!
Bundle deals are great for one bill but also limiting when things go wrong.
I think it was 15 years ago we bundled the landline, cable and internet into one bill so the landline now operates on the cable, internet modem. Well the flood took out cox and my cell service tower. No house phone, cable, internet or cell service for days. Only means to information was the radio and being landlocked reduces information flow to almost nothing. I think I need to diversify and at least have a working wired telephone that requires no electricity in house at minimum. Just something to think about.

Hope things get better for your Dennis.
Yeah, does seem like an awful lot of the communications options are becoming virtually eggs all in one basket lately. I too dropped my land line for VOIP, so if the internet service goes, so do those lines. Still got cellular, but that service seems rather fragile to me concerning external disruptions. At least out in the boonies where we are located. Would be kind of awkward having to walk outside during a full blown hurricane if I needed a stronger cell signal.

Good luck with all that. That is really disruptive and hope it ends soon.
