Hope things are better for you now, do fill us in on the details.
Maybe. I've abandoned most political commentary, even tho Jim
and a few others continually goad us with new right-wing threads.
Two hurricanes, weeks without electricity, and living in a special
needs shelter till the area was deemed safe to return home. I have to
walk with a cane now, (when I can walk) and was recently declared 100%
disabled. I spent Hurricane Frances at home, listening to trees snap
and fall around the house for 48 hour without sleep or lights because I
had no transportation to the shelter. I had just managed to use epoxy
to fix the aluminum radiator on the old truck my dad had loaned me a day
or two before Hurricane Jeanne hit. My eyesight is getting worse, and
some days I can't see well enough to use the computer for more that a
few minutes at a time. The pain from my carpal tunnel is getting
worse. I did a repair recently that should have taken 15 minutes. It
took three days. Its depressing at times, but I'm not giving up.
Someone had a ball using one of my old email accounts to stir up
trouble. I managed to use a computer at the library to check my mail and
it was full of complaints. I tried to sign up for a Google Groups
account there, but Google refused, and 30 minutes at a slow computer
didn't give me time to read many threads.
I hope everyone else had a better year
