OK, I'm saving this in a word document in addition to writing it here.
For whatever reason, deardiary is the only website I'm able to access right now. Everything else comes up with the The page cannot be displayed message. I can ping several of the sites, and I've been able to access one site using the ip address, but nothing will manifest itself in a browser except DD.
Strange. Maybe I should pinch myself to see if I'm dreaming.
Ouch! OK, not dreaming.
