Default bad news of sorts.....for now......

first off..... newsgroups can be downloaded to CDs and snail mailed to
you so you can at least read them. then when you get the library you
can just send answers.
if we divide up Monday thru Sunday and 1 person per day downloads to a
CD that days messages. especially if Maddie you have more than one
newsgroup or whatever you are signed up for .......... and when you
do get to the library send your answers to the person signed up to all
your newsgroups.

I save my agent all the time and all the messages are downloaded to
it, I move it around. so I need an address and your whole name.


Now the other thing is to raise some money. What you got is
tremendous writing. I can see where you could sell the copyright to
selected messages with a couple pictures on someplace like eBay. since
you wont be hooked up we will need somebody can post them for you on
eBay, post back to the list that they are up for bidding. then
collect the money and post it to you, or to the telephone company.

what do you think?

BTW, a good friend just had cataract surgery and was seeing in 2 days.
any old walgreens drug store reading glasses are good enough.

..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.
