GRRRRRRRRRR

the majordomo and have done battle since this

afternoon. i am trying to be put on a mailing list

and no matter how i try, no matter how i follow his

directions - - - well he needs an authorization

number - - - which i keep sending him with every new

subscription request. one time he says if i am

going to have the e-mail directed directly to my

address i do not have to put my e-mail address on

the request - - - the next time he says that if i

cant get it all one line to use a backslash at

the end of the upper line.

i remember that i tried once before, early on,

trying to get on a mailing list with the the

unmerciful majordomo - - -with no luck - - - - i

gave up then - - - i just got through e-mailing the

list owner now and asking whaaaaaaaaa ? maybe i

will get a common sense answer. i wonder how many

people have tried to get on a majordomo list and

just said, "the heck with it" and went off in

another direction?

peace reigned in the home place today, she and i

got along beautifully - - - - i am waiting for the

other shoe to drop - - - or do i have p.t.s. like

the ground pounders in the military get when they

have been in action too long. world war one i

think they called it "shell shock." well i am

going to be a good boy and try to keep things

serene.

i mutually engaged in many e-mail conversations

today and enjoyed every one. checked on the journals

i particularly like, nova notes, squishy, sunshyn

dreams, shmeul (sp) just stopping by and dirt road

ramblin, rant or rejoice. man they are all so

good. bonnie has about a million places to go at

her location and her pictures are great.

this webtv was just what i needed and family could

afford for my last birthday. i had become dead

bone bored with conventional tv and cable tv that i

would usually read a book instead. when i got a

tv that had closed captions capability it took about

a year to catch up on the programs i had seen and

not heard. that closed caption is easy to get used

to at least it was for me. now as well as meeting

new and interesting people, i can look at art

exhibitions, use search engines for many purposes,

my hmo has a web site and i am able to go through

that to ask for an appointment, to use the medical

information on various health interests. oh man,

webtv has set me free. i don't think i will ever

be able to get a computer, and is doubtful that i

could learn the complicated mental contortions

required. i don't know but it seems that computers

have a habit of going astray periodically. i have

enough saved to buy another webtv if this one goes

bad and can't be fixed. so i am happy, doing one

of the things i like best and meeting some of the

greatest people.

g'night doug - go to your room
