OK.. I've been here in Mexico for almost 6 days now and I come down here to my computer setup Completely Dismantled because of my wife's nieces & nephews screwing around with it (I locked it out at the startup screen with a password so nothing was affected program wise..) After a few days finding & reconnecting everything back up, I had to replace my cat5 cable with a new; even longer one (about 20 meters in length total), and it's finally ready to go online only to find out that my wife's family (who has the modem) upstairs, went out of town most of the day yesterday only to return at around 9:30pm CST last night and then I had to ask them to turn it on.. They then cut off their modem 2 hours later  Today, I had to ask them to turn it on by 11:00am because they don't think about turning it on automatically for my wife and I.. EVER!  Then cut it off with out telling me because they were leaving to go somewhere for a couple of hours... WHY  Their 'lame-ass' excuse is because if they leave it on and noone's here, it'll 'burn up'... Yeah, Right Even after trying my best to explain that if everything is connected to a voltage regulator (like the computer is because of the frequent voltage spikes and brown outs) It'll be Just Fine!! AND, On Top of That: I can't Find the Panthers game on Any of the channels down here!!!  I'm really biting my tongue currently ... |

True, but with said internet issues... Well.. I'll just get more PO'd.. Besides; the Panthers are winning (correction: Have Won) 30-10 over the Broncos so at least That's making things a bit better  |

I wouldn't know, I loathe all sports excuses to show commercials to drunk people. |

Yeah, the "turn off the modem or it will burn Mexico down" thing is odd to me, but you are playing on their home field so you just gotta bite your tongue on this one my friend.  |

That, and working in a boutique promoting the authenticity of our products 7 days a week doesn't help either..  |

"Look, it has arm holes, it is not lunch meat" I think that means "this is not knock off crap you find from street vendors" |

Counterfeit products are all over the place down here.. Clothing brand names, colones, DVD's, and much more.. All of our items are purchased from authorized distributors in bulk in the U.S. and then we have the difficult task of getting it through customs in Mexico and on to our boutique.. And of course 'me' looking as American as possible for added proof that our products aren't counterfeit  |
