Kathleen, do you know when you’re going to be able to go back home for sure? I
hope soon, I hope sometime in October! You’ve had to stay at Styvesent longer
than you’d anticipated, almost five months now. That’s too long to force
someone to live away from her own apartment and environment.

I'll tell you one thing after the moving company helped me unpack and help me
put stuff away I'll probably just take a long long nap. Honestly that's
probably what I'll do. I know I'm going to sleep better when I go home. I've
had a lot of trouble sleeping since I've been over here. But I didn't want to
argue about the Wi-Fi and wireless thing. I'm happy with the provider that I
have. If they had Wi-Fi I get a router from them. And I may ask them about it.
Because I've had them for you years. And when I go home I won't have to take
cabs as much anymore. Because I'll be closer to my doctors and everything. And
that's going to be a good thing too. Plus I'll have better cell phone reception
and I'll be able to use the ham radio which is also good. But I'll tell you
this much I'll probably be very tired when I get home. My ETA cancel today
because she had an appointment. Actually she wanted to come later and I told
her no to wait and come Friday. Because I really didn't need her for anything
much today and I told the company that gives me my home healthcare worker that
I didn't want to substitute. I'm used to this lady and I just didn't want
somebody else. So that was OK with them. Anyway hopefully my 80 come Friday.
She had a doctors appointment and she was stuck in the office. She called me
and let me know. And that's a good thing. But I have to eat a lot of my frozen
stuff and refrigerated stuff before I go home. Because I don't think the moving
company would have a cooler.

I don't want to web-based account. Panics.com is been out for years and I've
had them for years. And they're not going away anytime soon. Their local New
York City provider and I've liked their support and everything. They treat
their customers well. And I'm glad I have them. As I said the only thing I want
is Wi-Fi when I get home. But I have to check with them and see if they have
it. If they do I'll take it. But I don't want our yahoo account or anything
like that. Panics has DSL I think. And I think they use Verizon is their
pipeline. But hey what can you do about that. I have to find out how many days
it's gonna take me to get a landline through Verizon. Hopefully not long. But
anyway I can't believe these next three weeks are going to go fast and then
I'll be home. And I'll sure be glad. We got a thunderstorm earlier not a bad
one but it came. And I think we really need the rain. But no I do not want a
web-based account. And I want to keep what I have. I don't want to change my
email address and go through all that hassle. Especially with Yahoo groups
since I don't remember what their password is or anything. And they're not the
most accessible site on the planet either. So I'm just gonna leave things as
they are.

Yes, Rosie, exactly. That is why it is preferred to have a web-based account,
just for these situations. When I got an older friend to use the internet many
years ago, I got her a Yahoo mail account which she still uses. She would use
the internet at the library, and this was the best option. She later got a
computer at home, and we eventually got internet at home. She now has an email
address with her ISP, which she never uses, and she also has a Gmail account,
which she also doesn't use. She hasn't learned how to do all these things yet!
I have accounts all over the place, and it takes me about 30 min at least every
day to check in to each to see if there is any mail. And them more time to
respond, and so on. But each account is set up for different types of work. It
works for me.
Should your service provider have problems and you get no service, then you can
always fall back on your "free" internet account. Sometimes you can set it up
that you will get your ISP mail delivered to your web-based accounts, but I
haven't figured out how to do that. I think you did a wise thing by getting a
Gmail account. This will work as long as Google still is in operation! We never
know.

Hi, Tallguy,
When I switched to Time Warner, the guy told me it would be better to use gmail
since it has more storage than our roadrunner does. The nice thing about a
gmail, hotmail or yahoo account is that it doesn't matter what internet
provider you have. What I like about gmail is the amount of storage it has.

If you are going to get internet service from a provider (the ISP), they will
also give you several email addresses. But, obviously, you will have to use
their domain name. That is why you also should have a web-based address that is
accessible through any internet provider, such as Yahoo, Gmail, and many
others. If anyone uses a domain name from their service provider, it is only
valid as long as they are a paid subscriber to that service. When you terminate
your association with that provider, you also terminate your email address.
Keep that in mind.

Well the problem I have with Time Warner is they wanted me to change my address
to a TWC address instead of keeping panics.com <http://panics.com/> . I told
them that was crazy. I told him I didn't want to change my email address I
wanted to keep the same one.
