I had no phone & no internet until after 8 pm. VERY frustrating…my cell died from overuse.
What if Ed McMahon had been trying to get through to tell me I’d won a million bucks???
Can I sue Optimum for cell phone bills @ peak time cos I had to use a phone?

Not true. The Rebitzin did not have cable, only a regular TV. Her sister also had one and it still is on the third floor in 770.
The Rebbe, in a Sicho, once compared having a TV, to the comfort of being able to shower twice a day and having kosher food readily available.

To Shlomo:
Wow. Way to distort a sichah of the Rebbe.

CH Mom:
you kinda gave away where you live…
The CV techie told me that only a few houses and buildings had internet, and they are right next to where the problem occurred…

Let’s thumb our noses at Lakewood Ir Hakodesh – we in CH don’t have internet!
CH Mom
Thanks Josh. Are you going to be knocking on my door to use the internet then?
To CS
The Rebbe was siting examples of ordinary comforts that people, in CH, have, but people in not yet developed countries, do not have. He did group together, having radio and TV, with showering twice a day or having kosher food easily accessible.
