ATT in Nj is just as bad. They bill every three months unless your total is
over 30? How can you plan for that mess.
Good luck Maddie.

well, I must fess up, I've been horrible and irresponsible recently. I've
done something for the first time in 38 years of being a bill paying
adult.....I ran up my Bellsouth landline something HORRENDOUS.
MAGNATUDAL.......to the degree that I KNEW they'd cut it off as I am NOT
working and in the midst of divorce and upheavals. Today the "NEW
IMPROVED ATT/BELLSOUTH sent the novella with the list of calls across the
pond to my friend who's been consoling me, and behind it was the letter
informing me that since my ISDN line was in my name as well and the
landline was shut off, they would be shutting off my ISDN computer line as
well on the 9th.......despite that I just paid that...well who could blame
them? But I'd have to have a JOB and serious money to pay them the
installments to appease them, and short of hitting a scratch card for a
few thousand, I'm screwed. So I thought I'd say good-bye for now (well,
I'll linger as long as I'm connected and contribute and chat) and look
into seeing if the local library that is only open two days a week HAS a
computer I can log into and check on the newsgroup and my e-mails. I DO
have a yahoo as well as my
good until the end of July whether or not I have
internet at my HOUSE Or not.......sigh.........I'll learn. Made me bed
hard and must lie in it. Being cut off from the world won't be that good
for someone the likes of me, though. You all will hear my shrieks of
frustration as I am unable to read my daily online comics to lighten my
heart and soul up, or write about the faeries flittering about in the
Holler.....today a dragonfly lit on me and surveyed me before darting off.
The deluge yesterday was appreciated by the parched raised beds, but my
gardens are ticked off at me and the Vinca faerie is out to **** me
off........someone got a scratch ticket with win's of $20,000 they can let
me have? (no, the bill ain't THAT high, but I need to pay bills in
advance enough to figure things out while my eyes heal so I can get two
jobs. it's East Tennessee here folks, minimum wages are the best one can
sometimes do here, it's still a man's world.......ho hum) no worries,
just wish now I had level ground and more sun for a garden to feed me
while the heat is on. My Aunt Ruby's Green were late planted, and the
Sungold cherry tomato's won't get cranked soon enough. I love those..I
planted Rubra leaf lettice in buckets and it was tender and succulent and
the spinach I'll sow in buckets on the deck at the end of July for a fall
crop. same with the lettice. I have fall radishes too.....if you ain't
got level ground, buckets on the deck work alright, just nothing like
tomato's in the soil

I'll be back eventually. I've never been in this position before, but
it'll all work out.
