O--kay, so here's what's going on. My internet connection is pretty much BLOWING UP!!
Well, there are a few sites I can access. This is one of them, praise the Lord! The other noteable one is google (I can run searches but I can't access any of the sites that it pulls up.) But pretty much any other site I try gets a "This site cannot be displayed message." I even worked earlier today!
I have a cable modem that's networked together with two other computers. I've tried the few tricks I know on the stupid computer; Re-booting the computer, un-hooking and reconnecting the modems, double checking that the connections are in working order. Sadly, nothing's worked yet.
The only action which happened between this morning when it worked and this evening when it doesn't is that my little brother noticed that something odd was going on with it, so he got on my computer and messed around with the network settings a little bit. I think I've returned them all to normal, but -- I'm not one hundred percent positive.
Any suggestions on things I could try to fix it. I'm desperate here, people!
NOTE: If worse comes to worse, I'll call the person who set up the cable modem and her what the problem is. Afterall, she only lives two doors down. . .
Every year in Uganda, innumerable children simply. . . disappear. These children all stolen under the cover of darkness from their homes and impressed into the guerilla armies of the LRA [Lord's Resistance Army]. In the deserts of Uganda, they are forced to witness the mindless slaughter of other children until they themselves can do nothing but kill.
Kill. These children, generally ranging from ages 5-12, are brainwashed into murdering in the name of the resistance and into stealing other children from their beds to suffer the same fate.
Because of this genocide of innocence, hundred and hundreds of children live every night sleeping in public places miles from their homes, because they know that if the do not-- they will disappear. They will become just another number in this genocide to which the international community has chosen to turn a blind eye. They will become, in affect, invisible-- Invisible Children.
But there are those who are trying to fight against this slaughter of Uganda's children. They fight to protect these "invisible children." Please, help them help a country full of children who know nothing by fear. Help save the innocence.
