Meet the "new me". Yep. my old dial-up is gone. "The Man" came yesterday to set me up. We'll see how fast this baby can go now.

The problem right now is that I can't access my old email address and get incoming emails. I'll have to call my former dial-up people to find out what to do. Maybe that's where the $50/yr comes in to use my old address. At least I can now use the phone while on the computer.

One email I'm curious to find is a reply to my letter to the gal I was dating this past summer. I hadn't heard a thing from her for nearly two months. I assume it's over. But I wanted to ask why. Was it something I said or did? Another boyfriend? I thought we were getting along fine. I saw no "signs" of stopping the relationship. What happened?

My daughter, the farmer/dental hygienist, cleaned my teeth yesterday. We talked at length, over lunch, about the problem I mentioned in my last post. I was pretty blunt. I said it's been 4 years since I loaned you 35 grand and another 3 last year. And I haven't seen one cent payback, which is okay (especially with the stock market so low), but that I'm not comfortable with loaning them MORE money if they can't make good on the old debt. I simply don't want to take that risk. They'll have to come up with Plan B or C. Ugh.

Time to tackle my paragraph 2 problem. Have a grand day.
