I don’t know what your plans are for today, but I hope you’re able to spend some time relaxing, with family, and otherwise NOT working at home today. Happy Thanksgiving!

I want to thank a Nashville Dermatologist for the Dermatology Care in Nashville we received. My wife and I have endured a nightmare of sorts for several months which finally seems to be over thanks to some dermatologists in Nashville. Humor me, you may have this same problem one day. Anyway, she had succumbed to [...]

This is my personal comment policy for this blog as of today. Ordinarily, WordPress blogs have “no follow” commands to Google in their comment section. When blog owners like our network install software plugins like the one from Semiologic it disables the rel=nofollow attribute in comments. WordPress enables that as a default option so spammers [...]

I’ve been distracted for the last few days due to a friend’s funeral. Sorry to be away so long. I hope to get back in the swing of things soon.

I don’t know the kind of technology… it’s a local wireless internet system that is beamed from town out into the boonies. I haven’t wanted to announce it too soon, I was afraid it’d die on me. But I finally have high speed at my home! Woo hoo! Before I was doing most of it [...]

I was hoping that the receiver/transponder would  be up and running yesterday afternoon giving us broadband access… then a whole new world of VOIP and SKYPE would open up. But I’m still waiting. Can you tell I’m excited? I wonder if there are [...]

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 [...]

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. Originally Mother’s Day which began in 1908 was designed to give the mothers of our nation the same respect and attention we give to veterans [...]
