So sorry to hear that -- I'd almost rather loose my left toe than my internet service! For me, I cut cell phone & TV first, and started hitting the library instead of the book stores...but am still looking for things to cut out.

I hope things look up soon and they need you back or you can start generating a little income some other way. We will miss you terribly!

Hugs,

Hi Babs,

Thanks for always being there and I hope you are able to return soon. I have found some dial up for $4.95 but do understand. Wishing you well and hope you can access us through the library time to time.

((((((Babs)))))) I'm so sorry for your misfortune, Babs, and will be thinking about you and praying for you. Times will get better before you know it! I'm going to put my email address in my profile for a couple of days. If you'd like to correspond via snail mail for a while, send me your mailing address. I'll do my best to get messages to and from the forum for you. Lots of folks aren't comfortable giving out their mailing address, but I do hope you'll correspond with someone so we won't worry about you and so we can at least stay in touch with you.

Let us know what else we can do to help.

I've been out of touch for a while, as you know, so before Monday, I do hope you'll let me know how you've been doing.

((((Hugs))))

Uh oh . . . .

Sorry sis . . . you sound like me . . . no cable, no cell phone . . . basic internet . . .

But . . . I would REALLY miss the internet!! I used to pop in the library and get online there. I hope you have a connection somewhere nearby you can use sometimes.

I was thinking of you today and how we both joined HW at around the same time. Remembered how we would both be wide awake at 3:00 am and chat in the chat room . . . LOL

I hope you find a great position soon!!!

Blessings!

Hi Babs:

I'm sorry that you lost your job and need to cut back. I certainly understand about the gas issue. You know I'll be happy to call you on a regular basis and I'll keep the folks on the forum updated on you if you'd like. I'm going to really miss your knowledge and encouraging words you offer.

I'll be praying for you and your family and I'll be thinking of you daily. You've become a very dear friend to me and the others here. Please don't hesitate at anytime to contact me if you need something. I'll do the best of my ability to help you out. I'll miss you sweetie, you take good care of yourself and I'll call you soon.

Love and hugs,

Babs,

I'm so sorry about your job. You are a wonderful person with a heart of gold and I will miss you dearly. When I first joined HW you made me feel very welcome and for that I thank you. I will be asking Barb and Kay how you are and will keep in touch through them. Please take care of yourself and I hope you will go to the library because we truly need your words of wisdom and you always make me smile. I'm sure you will find another job real soon.

Love Julia

BAbs, even though you live in a small town (as I do) ask about a local "freenet" that provides free internet service through the library system. Though it may not be as fast as your old hookup, it may allow you to get on once in a while. Sometimes in small towns the dialup isn't so bad because there isn't many people. I hope you have a library there. Ours has nice computers, videos and all.

Will miss your always compassionate and kind replies. I hope you come back soon!

Love, Marji

Babs,

I am sorry to hear of your troubles. Is it possible for you to visit HW from your local library? We will all sure miss you!

   Oh wow! I'm speechless from all the loving caring support and kind words of encouragment from all of you! You all are so awesome!

((((((Babs))))))
Im sorry to hear about you having the Internet turned off. I think the ideas others have written about using the Internet at the library are good. I know it won't be the same, but I hope you check in when you can. Do you have a nearby family member who might let you log in to their computer occasionally? I hope you keep us updated. We will all be thinking about you and wishing you the best in these tough economic times. I can relate to your situation. -- Harmony

Hi Bab's. I'm glad you at least have Barb to talk to on the phone and the library if you get yourself in a bad place. This isn't a disease you need to go through alone. I know it's so hard to get by these days. That's why I moved in at my brothers place. I'm just getting a grip on my final bills from my own house. Than I hope to get my credit cards caught up so I can spend the winter in arizona. My lungs can't take the oklahoma cold. But if it weren't for my family none of it would be possible. Food prices have tripled,gas is out of this world. I hope you get some good news about that job. I will be praying for ya. Just hang in there. Nothing ever stays the same it will get better.

love ya

((((( Babs ))))) love ya sis, I'm going to really miss you!!!!
