This is part of the saga of work at home people in the boondocks past suburbia.
In particular it’s about my wife needing high speed for her business because the old land line systems for medical transcription are being phased out. So it’s GET SOMETHING fast or lose accounts. And I also need it for [...]

I’ve told you before I live in the boonies. We’re trying to get high speed internet.
Right now the lack of that is making posting very difficult.
I’ll update you with some pictures as the plan unfolds.
I don’t know the name for this technology.
All I know is…
1) No “big name” DSL provider here. We’re just past their [...]

Happy Memorial Day… will you be working at home or have the day off? Either way, thanks for visiting.
Some tidbits for the day comparing Mother’s Day and Memorial Day.

Well, I’m back in jail again!
This time it’s once weekly at a county jail doing job seeking workshops for a couple of hours and for the most part doing alot of computer familiarization.

I blogged about the damage from a Tornado here last Friday.
The National Weather Service decided it was an F-3 tornado. We had an F-5 in 1998.
At this link are photos from the power company’s viewpoint as they repaired the damage.

Some people asked me how we were doing because of the tornado that hit nearby last Friday. Here are two pictures I snapped with my cell phone yesterday so they’re not that great.
One of the first reports was of a car being lifted off the road and deposited in this yard. By the time the [...]

We’re having a traffic spike from people looking for more information about LiveOps.com today.
Liveops was mentioned as a viable and legitimate home based business opportunity on Good Morning America this morning. The deluge of traffic was so great, people have had a hard time getting the information they need from the Liveops site.
As a result, [...]

Well,  I haven’t forgotten to blog. I’m still under the weather but pulling out finally I think.
I’m finishing a second round of medications but still seem groggy alot.
And my right ear is still plugged. It’s like having driven up the side of a mountain and your ear not “popping” when you went down the other [...]

I have really taken a hit from the flu bug… my second bout in 6 months!
This time I’ve been down with it for about 2 weeks.
It is taking quite a bit of time to get over it and just because you can work “online” doesn’t mean you even FEEL like doing anything when you have [...]

I have been working out of town and haven’t gotten a chance to post anything at all yesterday!
But I’m finally back and hope to start back up today!
