idea for madgardener

[thistletoes]

I came into the conversation a bit late, but what I think I hear is that madgardener may lose the Internet connection. If he lives close enough to a town with a library that offers use of PCs with Internet connection, maybe that would help a little. Inconvenient but better than nothing. A friend of mine used to do her marketing and then stop at the library to check her email, and send replies, etc while her Internet connection was down for a few months. Just a thought. Perhaps you are already doing that. Deb :-)

She is already working on using the library computer. Since her posts have stopped I'm assuming she's been cut off - I'm going to call her in the morning to check on her.

I tried that today - nothing is connected. I will keep trying. She will let us know when things are connected again or if she has gained access somewhere. I hope.

Hmmm, no phone? I thought it was just the internet part. I'll let you know if I get through.

The message from Ann contains these words:

Telepathy or carrier pigeon? :-)

Didn't she say the phone service is being disconnected?

Janet Baraclough expounded:

I misunderstood what she'd said. They had separate lines coming into the house for phone and internet, I thought just the internet lines were being disconnected. I didn't realize all lines were going - they weren't with the same company when I was down there visiting a few years ago, John had business lines she was using.

Maddie is using the library computer but has no USENET access.
