I could make coffee and a sandwich, drink and eat both, then rinse the cup and plate while the dial-up progressed. I hated the slowness of it. <br />ADSL should be speedier, have you thought about a different provider, make a move away from Bigpond? The problem may be with the area you are in. When I signed up I learnt that not all areas are able to have certain speeds.

There has been talk in the past about self-extinguishing ones, but I still think even with those, if one is dropped while the person is sleeping (or suddenly dead) the bedclothes etc would still catch fire. and she does spend most of her time in bed, with cigarettes, magazines and TV on the side stand. <br />Your one finger typing is excellent.<br /><br />Delores; he's a cutie, my Angel, when he wants to be. Several of us neighbours keep an eye on her flat, if we can smell cigarette smoke and her awning is raised or lowered differently from the previous day's position, we know she is still alive. The TV is on 24/7, so that's no indication. Because I am the closest neighbour, I listen to her cat's meowing. If there's a change in tone, for instance if he sounds frantic or terrified, I'll go and check. So far, thankfully, there is just the usual, 'feed me' or 'let me out' meows.

I'm no longer sitting here saying "oh for pete's sake, hurry up!"<br /><br />Andrew; it's via a phone line, so now I have a landline phone number again, but I won't be telling people what it is. <br />Yes, the hospital has smoking areas, but she is a chain smoker and they can't leave a very ill patient outside all day just so she can smoke. also, she doesn't want to be there and abuses all the doctors and nurses, (like she has done most of our immediate neighbours) until they give in and let her sign the paper so she can come home. She will undoubtably collapse again and be whisked off in an ambulance again, twice already this week. <br />We all have smoke detectors.<br />Smart phone? that's crazy talk (*~*)Riverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794655013673748992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2664393407924733681.post-3812230778455023952015-11-21T17:15:19.625+10:302015-11-21T17:15:19.625+10:30I been thinking about you off and on today and won...I been thinking about you off and on today and wondering if it will all come together easily and it has. Well done you and your daughter. The trivet is a good idea. Electronics don't like being too hot. Is it naked ADSL via a phone line or come through the air? <br /><br />Surely the hospital could find an area for patients to smoke. It wouldn't mean that they are approving of smoking, but for the patients' sake. I assume you have a smoke detector. <br /><br />Before you know it, you will be hooking up your new smart phone to the modem.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2664393407924733681.post-84796444895211793462015-11-21T16:30:32.412+10:302015-11-21T16:30:32.412+10:30Congratulations on your now functioning device!!Congratulations on your now functioning device!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2664393407924733681.post-91546896802730570742015-11-21T16:28:44.793+10:302015-11-21T16:28:44.793+10:30Elephant's Child; it's definitely going to...Elephant's Child; it's definitely going to be worth all the agonising I did over whether or not to change over.
