I truly understand the feelings you have about PC speed... we moved to a remote part of Colorado last year from a sprawling, overcrowded "Mega-tropolis" city in Southern California. DSL is non-existant here, but SATELLITE is available no matter how 'boonified' your location. It's a bit expensive to install, around $400-$600, and about $100 a month give or take, but if this is part of a business, it could be advantageous for you to consider it!! (NO NO NO... don't let them tell you it's as fast as DSL or cable! It's about 1/2 as fast). <BR/>Hope whatever happens, that you don't stop adding to your wonderful, inspiring, site. I'm a "wannabe" farmgirl. Sites like yours, to me, are like Honey is to Winnie the Poo. Sustanance!!<BR/>-ValAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12997259.post-1160089758164196112006-10-05T18:09:00.000-05:002006-10-05T18:09:00.000-05:00I experience the same frustration you do with the ...I experience the same frustration you do with the dial-up service in rural areas. This past weekend we had a line data check and my server helped me tweak my modem, but still can not get on to stay higher that 16.8 and most times it is 14.4. It is so sad that rural residents cannot enjoy the same access to the internet through DSL at a reasonable price. Hopefully, a company will soon come to our rescue. Thanks so much, Susan, for all of the wonderful words and pictures you have posted in your blog.

I have finally started a new blog, but it really diminished my joy to have to start over.<BR/><BR/>You do need to enjoy fall(I'm in Kansas in the burbs as I write this). It is beautiful! There are "colors." I must get DH to this area or at least northern Arkansas so that he can experience autumn again. <BR/><BR/>This summer has exhausted almost all of us in the USA this year. The problems with heat, water, etc. have been trememdous. I think that we are all exhausted. There comes a time when one must retreat and revitalize one's self. My time is here! Sounds as if yours is, also.<BR/><BR/>Blessings to you for all of the nourishment that you give to others. Refresh yourself and come back when you are ready. Those are my only words of wisdom.<BR/><BR/>SandySandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11212777187166273244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12997259.post-1159930290788233492006-10-03T21:51:00.000-05:002006-10-03T21:51:00.000-05:00Aahhh...so sad for us however, the blog rage is ne...Aahhh...so sad for us however, the blog rage is never worth it!

It's not cheap, but if you still love blogging, just hate the frustration with the computer, this might be a solution.<BR/><BR/>BTW, my broccoli that you inspired me to plant are still looking good.
