If it ain't broke, don't fix it
My brother recently bought a new router to replace the other one he bought 3 months ago. When he showed it to us, we all let out a huge groan, because every time he buys a new router, our internet always goes up and down, sometimes leaving us without internet for hours. Before he set up this new router, I was browsing the internet at high speed with the 'old' router, and I didn't see why he wanted to buy a new one. So, while I was fixing the new layout for my website, my internet all of a sudden died on me, and I stomped over to my brother's room to see what the deal was. There he was, on the floor, fiddling with the new router. :evil:
"WHY DID YOU BUY A NEW ROUTER?!"
"Because, it was on sale!"
My brother and I suffer from the same problem. We always buy things on sale, even if we don't really need them. For me, I buy clothes that I don't need, but my brother on the other hand, buys useless technology things that we probably won't even use. Like, during Black Friday, he bought an uninterruptable power supply for his computer. His excuse was that "If we have an electrical surge, I don't want my computer to be fried!" :shock: 
So, after he set up the new router, I had about five minutes of high speed internet browsing before my Airport lost the wireless signal.
"CHARLIE, THE INTERNET IS DOWN!"
"MACS SUCK!"
:evil:
Fortunately, this morning when I turned on my MacBook, the wireless internet stayed on. Hopefully, it will continue to do so. :wink: Why can't he ever buy anything useful? A new TV would be nice.

Nice…on sale? that’s a good excuse. Macs suck. Admit it! And what’s wrong with your tv??? you also have one in your room if you haven’t noticed.
Besides, if he buys stuff that’s his problem, considering you have a spending problem too.

I know exactly what you mean, my router plays up too, and Dad is always fiddling with it, which makes it worse instead of better! LMAO!

Macs rock!
I recently had to buy a new router because the old one got fried.

I really want a Mac! My laptop right now sucks.
Love the site and layout!
Oh and didn’t you used to run on textpattern? If so, was it hard to work and make layouts for, like, is it like wordpress? Thanks!

My dad doesn’t touch the router, unless internet is down :P Otherwise he forbids us to even touch it.
Sales always tempt me to go stationery shopping (I don’t know why of all things I collect these) but then my mom would put her foot down and say no because I simply have too many :P
Great layout :D

Oo, look, people like the layout. ;D

Alex, I found a typo. :D
“When he showed it to us, we all let out a huge groan, [because every time buys a new router], our internet always goes up and down, sometimes leaving us without internet for hours.“
FIX IT. :D

This is my favourite layout of yours thus far. :) For some reason I always replace things before they’ve even broken, or tinker with things when they’re absolutely fine. Thankfully I’ve learnt my lesson though and I no longer attempt to. I even read the manual with equipment these days!
