Not Again??? | thornyasarose's Blog

Yea, i need a big box. I AM a woman of many words. So many that, in order to be kind to my attorney, rather than making him listen to me say all I have to say, I drop of little letters so he can read them at his convenience. I tend to ramble,often. You know how one thought can lead to another one that leads to....and then you are left wondering, "what was I talking about?" I could tell many numerous stories about THAT mind game (I play it with myself everyday since no one else wants to play it with me, I have the highest score,you know). The funny thing,Nora, is my brother makes a living (a fine living) programming, restoring, servicing...computers! But, remember I live on the Western Banks of the Mighty Mississippi. He lives about 2 hours southeast of here. Travel is hard for me since I never know from one day to the next if I will have the muscle strength to function. And, a two hour drive (one way) is quite a distance. We only have one place local that works on computers, refills ink cartridges, etc.. And the wait period is unreal (of course). And no swaps . It is a VERY poor area, Nora. I mean VERY poor. We were doing well until I became unable to work, but even with living off disability and so-called-dad not paying support, we are still living better than most. The area is so poor that the school system does not OFFER free or reduced lunches-everybody just gets a free lunch (AND breakfast), no money ever exchanges hands. But, I AM going to get a small lap top. Probably similar to yours (plz send more info). And it probably will be worth the little extra, for the comfort, to have a warranty. Too many variables in my life right now as it is. In the meantime, I guess i could take pen in hand, at least make short notes to myself. I am just having a hard time with pages loading (slow as molasses in January), not seeing the whole page, different servers give different views, it's just not ideal, but sure beats where I was 2 months ago. And maybe that is best-slow rediscovering of one's self. Gives me more reflection time... Who am I trying to kid here, Nora??? I WANT MY LAPTOP and I DARE one of those teenagers of mine to say a word about it. It will be a long time before they will see the light of day if they do. (Once again, who am I trying to kid here? I'm a cream puff and they know it). Thanks for sharing my dream with me. It will be mine.
