As of Wednesday morning, I was going to pat myself on the back for having $100 leftover this month to pay towards the new $150 bill I'll have each month towards the Nursing Home court agreement.

Then at midnight, my VCR/DVD crashed...sorta. I put in an old tape, and now it won't run, turn on or off, or eject the tape. Since I can't live without a VCR, I have one of two choices: (1) call TV/VCR places to see what they'll charge to come out and get the tape out or (2) Call a few retail stores and see what a new VCR/DVD runs or even just a VCR alone.

I hoping for a bill of less than $100 either way.

Lately, I feel more like the bug than the windshield.

You ought to be able to find a new one for less than $100.00, which is more than I have at the end of this month! Good luck.

How is Mac? I have been without web access for a few days (poverty). I kept wondering how he is.

Mac,

Get one at a pawn shop. Make them play it first...

I hear that Mr. Wolf is as well as ever but has had computer problems. As I understand it the problems are now being resolved. --FLO--

Thanks to MANY FRIENDS, magic, luck and a few miracles, this old buzzard with galloping senility is back online.

I'm so dumb that it took me 20 minutes to figure how to get on the internet let alone find the EA Boards. Now, my next quest is trying to figure out how to get back to the chatroom and locate Yahoo Messenger.

I gave Ken_SD my old computer in the "hope" he can download my old iMac 9.2 hard drive onto CD discs which I can then upload to my new OSX hard drive. It contains about 25 years of files maybe 50,000 pages plus. If the old hard drive is toast, I can re-enter all the data by hand...but it might take me about 5-10 years.

I'm happy for the moment to be online, on the Boards and finding my gmail.

Now to go looking for Messenger, my Yahoo mail account and a path into the chatroom.

On mom, she is in a nursing home (temporarily) that is 12 miles away. I've walked 5-6 miles in a day but 12 is too much for even this slim, trim, athletic *cough* figure of a wolf.

Tomorrow, I have a 3:00pm appointment at the nursing home to discuss mom's treatment program. They want me to sign some paperment but I REFUSE to sign anything that gives me financial responsibility. Her doctor signed her into the Grand Terrace Nursing Home without my consent.

On the negative side, I'm shelling out an extra $150 a month to her old nursing home where she over-stayed her visit. Total bill is $3,000+.

On the positive side: (1) mom is requalified for Medi-Cal now (2) I might be be able to take 4 different busses to tomorrow's meeting at the nursing home and see mom too.

BTW, not being able to get online really SUCKS. I learned what depression really was without a working computer and a working VCR.

I'm better now

Good to hear from you. My DVD and computer are what my tricycle was when I was four-years-old--comfort food. My PC is still crashing.
