My Grandpa Walter used to say, “You know you’re on the right track when everything suddenly starts to go terribly wrong. God let’s it go wrong to see how badly you want it.” Well, I must be doing something right because three weeks ago everything blew up in my face.

I had started a new website and placed more information on it than necessary. I intended to start two more and use half of the content on the first one for the third one.

I purchased the add-on domain name to use for the second site and started building it using my Netscape program. Then lightning struck, literally. We found it necessary to replace our telephone service box, all the phone lines and the telephone. The technician that did this was amazed that my computer seemed to be unaffected. Especially since the phone lines came in and went directly to the computer. It wasn’t unaffected.

Three days after we had all that replaced, the computer started shutting down for no reason until eventually it would not even boot up. I took it to the repair shop and borrowed this one from a grown foster daughter.

Although I appreciate the loan, this computer has no memory to it what-so-ever. There is no word processing program. You can’t load anything on it. It does have Netscape so I have been able to rebuild the pages I had on the other computer but it will not publish them to the add-on domain. If I store more than a dozen wordpad documents I start getting virtual memory and overload messages.

Today, the repair shop called to tell me that the power supply and the motherboard to my computer were toasted. I was advised to replace the computer.

Great! In the two and a half weeks they have had the thing I have lost, not only the job I was almost finished with but, two other contracts that would have netted me more than $500 a month. Which means that I can’t afford to replace it.

Well, I ain’t dead in the water yet God. I will hitchhike the 30 miles to the nearest library to do my work before I give up.
