Just a Few Frustrations.

 Just a Few Frustrations.

 

It amuses me to hear someone else give their email address with the aol.com suffix. It pretty well tells me that this person has been around for a pretty long time. See, we had to use dial up and listen to those silly sounds when we first got online. The old woman even worked for quite awhile in a place called a classroom online. Carla Beard was one of the supervisors there. She asked me to help in the English classroom if memory serves me right—which it may certainly not! Wrote articles for the “Knowledge Database.” That was some fun time spent thinking and trying to keep my words simple. Anyway, lately—for a few days now—AOL has not come up to let me read my email on my computer. It is not like anything drastic is going to show up there, but still. Mail is mail, ya know. Not just sure exactly what can be done to get signed in and online again, but still trying.

 

Asked Jennifer to post online that computer problems are keeping me offline. Whether or not AOL will allow me to read my messages, it seems the blog can still be posted now that the computer is turned back on.

 

It occurred to me that AOL has been free to me for umpteen years and that maybe the entire problem was that they want us to buy some kind of service from them. Before all the conversations were completed, they had talked me into parting with a credit card number for the amount of $30 a month for “professional” help with any issues my computer might have. Guess what. Since each “plan” had a try-out period, they will never get another dime out of me even if the old woman has to give up her email account!

 

Talked to Patty briefly. She was in almost as good a mood as the shouting old battleaxe who lives at this house. She needed a couple of prescriptions refilled and could not get the doctor’s office to return her call. Argh! Understood exactly how she felt.

 

Sandy and Clint are leaving “officially” by Monday. The new owners will be doing a walk through on Saturday. Certainly hope that they are as sweet at the Leos family. Did not get too well acquainted with Sandy and Clint, but liked them pretty well. At least they took care of things over on that side of the road.

 

Still reading in that book about Revelation by Lehman Straus. It was exceptionally slow going until it dawned on me that it was faster to skip the references the first reading and then go back and read them the second time around. Not that the old woman believes that the author would misquote or something, but it just feels better to look at those scriptures to be sure they are talking along the same lines as his discussion. Just being careful.

 

So very tired this evening. It might be just the frustrations, but it also might be the weather. Such is life. Even after a hard shut down and restart, this computer and AOL are not going to work together. That just irks me! May have to change and start using the other email from gmail. Let’s see if that even works. Great, at least gmail is working. In case you want to send me a message: the email is gtgdickerson@gmail.com

 

Isn’t it wonderful that the Holy Spirit can speak FOR us when we are groaning in our minds and spirits. We don’t have to wait for a particular setting or a prescribed manner for prayer. We can ask Our Father for whatever we may need—even though He already knows what we need. But if we fail to ask and suffer in silence, the Spirit will ask for us. Praise God for His mercies.

 

Rest well, my friends. You are loved.
