Often been said by folks plenty smarter than yt that so long as one person's not free, nobody's free.

(Slightly off topic but still pertinent: with all the internet connection problems I've had using off-site wi-fi, and how terribly behind it put me in my reading, I've decided that if I ever get so far behind again I'll go to the library and use their computers for DU. I absolutely hate being so far behind. Might miss something. Besides, people looking over my shoulder will be seriously pissed that I'm using THEIR library for such horrible purposes!)

As it is at home right now, I seem to spend half my time waiting for pages to load or connections to reset, etc. Believe me, this does not represent 'free' internet service. I'm paying double for it in frustration. But for now there's nothing I can do about it. Have to save up $ for more home repairs in the coming winter season when help's cheaper. At some point I'll flip out and re-up, but for now frugality rules.)

When at the library I'll keep this particular thread ready to bring forward when I sense anyone lurking. They'll be so pissed! Funny thing is, the gossip mongers here can't seem to decide exactly what or who I am or am not, so they just throw everything at me, hoping something will stick. If I turned out to be Mother Theresa they wouldn't like that either. No pleasing some people.

Yes, I know it's wrong to annoy the children but sometimes I can't help myself.
