    I figured out yesterday.... tried two different addresses, each one with their respective passwords, but their wifi signal was tooooo slow... I couldn't get inside their apartment... I was sitting on the floor on the hallway next to the elevator..

    .I was able to connect to the internet and opened a couple pages but it was taking forever and I wasn't able to open my email or do what I needed to do... so I gave up...
    I can use no more than 4 GB with my cell and yesterday was very little... But I think I regained them today. Gotta save those though...

    Well... that one refers to the mayors in some cities in the South here...
    In the meantime, in the big city of Pernambuco, northeast of Brasil, the crowd couldn't wait to enter a shopping center that cut their prices half due to the crisis caused be the virus....
    I thought it was "funny" the way the girl described those folks... the "quarentene" people.... She also had to explain that crowd wasn't waiting to play in the lottery, neither were they waiting to get money from the government.... and that was NOT Black Friday.... but it looked like.... OMG!! :biggrin_2556::biggrin_25523:

    I know all that.... But I am not in America to make that boring phone call and the cell that I have does not make international calls to landlines... I was in Cabo Frio and only in the city of Rio I would find a place to make that kind of call at a charge.
    You know @lovesthedrive ... there's a lot of details with regard to my situation here and what is going on that you don't know because I don't post them here.... If you have any legitimate concern about my well-being and wish to give any helpful opinion, send me a pm. Otherwise leave it alone.

    One of my favorites...maybe they can update it to 2020..

    Who'll Stop the Tain


    I'm thinking while doing updates...perhaps a new version of "My Sharona"? "My Corona" would be an instant classic.

    An Hendrix, Joplin, and Morrison rocked. Nice thing about older music...even now in 2020 is it's still awesome. I don't share the same opinion of music in the 2000's. Just doesn't move me, there's no soul o it like in music in the past.

    Be safe, watch out for zombies.

    Sirscrapntruckalot - Corona is always a happy hour special...will they change the name now to "Virus hour"?
