Well my homecare worker won't drive me and I'll be the moving company probably.
And I may end up staying here a little bit longer. I don't know if you're
following what I posted but somebody put a pipe bomb in a dumpster right
outside my building and the bomb went off in a blue alibis your windows
injuring 25 people. People aren't allowed in or out of the neighborhood so who
knows. So I may be stuck here longer but I'll know that on Monday. So basically
I don't know if this is a terrorist attack or what. But there was a few other
bomb that one off another states. One in Jersey City which is right across the
river and one in Virginia. So who knows. I think the one in Jersey was it a
military event. The one in Virginia I'm not sure. I haven't checked Facebook to
find out that my friend Louis and my friend Debbie called me. My friend Debbie
is in the building and she's fine. They're not a vacuum waiting the building so
at least that's one good sign I guess.

Kathleen,
If home isn’t far from the place you are living in now, I would think your
frozen food should be okay especially if your home care worker drives you
from the place you are in now back to your apartment. Just have them put it
in a garbage bag and take them to the apartment. Hope it works out for you.

Sorry my other message cut off and I didn't mean it to. But anyway maybe I'll
get DSL I don't know. But I'm still kind of worried about the frozen food
issue when I move out of here. I just hope I can finish it. As I said before
I don't have a cooler or anything. And I guess maybe I shouldn't of done a
big shopping but I did anyway. Oh well. But as I said before I'll sure be
glad to go home. I'll tell you more about what the apartment is going to be
like when I get home and I see it from A sighted person's point of you too. I
may have somebody describe it to me. I think I had one described by a friend
of mine who has some site. He said it was pretty nice. He said they made the
kitchen a little bit bigger but it took a little bit from the living room. So
that's basically the way that goes. I had my home care worker go through my
mail and like transit card wasn't in there so I guess it's still in the
mailbox. Oh well I can just stay there till I go back because I'm not making
another trip over there

Linda, I don’t think you can use the IPhone with a cable modem. You have to
have a network plug to plug into the cable modem and your computer. I never
heard of a network cable for an IPhone. Therefore, you have to have a Wi-Fi
system, either through neighboring towers, like Kathleen runs when she is at
home, or through a router which is attached to a cable modem.

No I don't have Wi-Fi through panics. I'm only using my cellular data. And
sometimes it doesn't work very well in this building. When I get home it'll
work a lot better. Because I'm closer to the towers. And I'll sure be glad to
go home yes I will. Anyway I have Time Warner about Wi-Fi when they came
here. And the guy didn't have a router with him. So that's basically how that
went.

I didn’t realize you already have Wi-Fi through Panics. If that’s the case,
then I’m confused as to why you contacted Time Warner in the first place. If
you’re happy with Panics by all means stick with it. Hope all goes well for
you. I know you must be excited. I know I am about our move and that’s not
for a couple of months.

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. 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.
