Greetings From Nicaragua, Land of Tomorrow. I Have Been Offline For So Long....

Thanks, Deb. You probably ran into a discussion that I started quite awhile ago to see if anyone on here does One Stroke painting. I have a lot of the paints and have done a little painting, mainly the cabbage roses. I need to get my paints out and make sure they are not dried out. If they are, it will be a big loss. Thanks for your offer to answer any questions I have. I have some vhs tapes somewhere stored away that I need to find and start using them because it is really fun to paint using one stroke method.

Thanks. It is good to be back. I really missed you too. I should have taken the time offline to think of some great topics to offer up but I didn't do that. Oh well, something will pop into my head I am sure. I haven't noticed the pay change yet. I guess I will tomorrow. I did notice that they must be paying a little for responses or something because I have earned a few cents here and there when I wasn't even online. I see that myLot is really growing. It is so good to be back. I had to rely on some infuencial friends here or I still wouldn't be online for another two or three weeks. The way they do business here, it is amazing that they even have any. If the US did that the internet would probably still be in it's infancy. The internet sure wouldn't be as common as it is these days. They kept reminding my husband that he wasn't in the USA and told them that was obvious because there you could decide you wanted internet and be connected within an hour or so and here it is two or three months. I needed the old style phone line for broadband but they wouldn't give me the old style because they said they were only promoting the other. So we ended up having to move my sister-in-laws phone account and name to our house and move ours to her house, as though we both had moved. We also had to pay a telephone lineman money under the table to run the kind of line we needed to the house as well reconnect fees for both lines. The office wouldn't give him an order to do it. Their only order was to connect a line available which is the new style which they said we couldn't use for broadband. It has been quite an experience and I totally don't understand what their problem was since they also own the internet service. You would think that they would want the opportunity to sell the internet service for more money to us to say nothing of getting us off their backs daily because of no service. I hope I never have such an experience again because there is absolutely nobody to appeal to about it. Sorry for the ranting. I said I wasn't goint to do that.

Thanks, JoyfulOne. Everything is fine here and it seems like this new service is going to be great. I am keeping my fingers crossed.

Thanks for the welcome back, Deebomb. I think my internet problems are solved now, at least, I sure hope so. I missed you and all my other friends here at myLot as well. MyLot is really growing and swift rate, I notice. It is good to be back.
