In a small community you are very trapped. <BR/>I may just have to take over the work myself or sneak a couple of friends in to complete it!<BR/>It is good for some laughs, however, I'm not as homicidal as I was!!<BR/>XO<BR/>WWWWisewebwomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15281689872840844191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14874528.post-16477196015329815882008-11-10T14:29:00.000-03:302008-11-10T14:29:00.000-03:30RJA:Thank you so much for checking for me.

I have checked out Satellite here and the costs are prohibitive and wonky service a lot of the time. I might invest if it were reliable but the few users in the area moan a lot.<BR/>XO<BR/>WWWWisewebwomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15281689872840844191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14874528.post-50156948987563916212008-11-10T03:02:00.000-03:302008-11-10T03:02:00.000-03:30Oh dear.

However if she's also your cleaner that's not so easy as maybe you'd have to find a new cleaner as well!<BR/><BR/>It's so hard to tell in advance if someone's up to the job. Even personal recommendations can be unreliable. Usually there's something about a person's demeanour that tells you but I've had my share of disasters as well.

It used to be very expensive but I believe has come down in price drastically of late. $50 a month seems to be the norm, which is more expensive than cable, but not much more.<BR/>I believe Aliant offer a service in your area. Check out:<BR/>http://www.ken-techcomputers.com/index.html<BR/>if you haven't already done so. I believe they cover your area.<BR/>Alternatively, you could give up the computer altogether, and take up painting and decorating.<BR/>;-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14874528.post-59052674536044746352008-11-09T18:07:00.000-03:302008-11-09T18:07:00.000-03:30Laurie:I have that feeling in the pit of my stomac...Laurie:<BR/>I have that feeling in the pit of my stomach, she might be the sister of your guy.<BR/>And she's not coming back till Wednesday.<BR/>I'm trying not to whimper pitifully.<BR/>XO<BR/>WWWWisewebwomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15281689872840844191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14874528.post-79099931830791509112008-11-09T18:05:00.000-03:302008-11-09T18:05:00.000-03:30T:I'm actually sorry I didn't do it myself, one ro...T:<BR/>I'm actually sorry I didn't do it myself, one room at a time.
