Hi all --- I hope this goes thru. I haven't seen any list mail since yesterday afternoon. Last nite, Zoe said it is Comcast (and a few other servers)..so I've tried to reach Comcast. No luck. All I can get is a recorded statement that "we are experiencing an email outage." What...all over the country? I say that because I've heard from list members everywhere who use comcast and aren't getting any mail, either. And, to top everything off, today our esteemed Congress voted itself another fat raise. Seems they always do this when the rest of us are in deep kim chee financially........I wonder how much they gave themselves this time?! My experience with the Congress is that their raises are usually anywhere from 15% to 35%. We shoulc insist on recalling every single person seated in the Congress............. the last one I know who didn't take the raise was the fellow from Youngstown, Ohio, Jim Trafficante, who ended up in jail for something else. At least he wasn't spending all his time screwing his constituents to the wall, however!!! Peggy ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2008.
