posting limit

news.individual.net. we sent an email, like astri said, asking them to
increase our limit. we aren't sure how long it will take to get a
response
<sigh> old cat just threw up all over my jacket. poor old cat, that

the power has turned off 3 times too so we are turning off the

We had to do that too. It took them a couple days. Hope they fix it for
you soon. Otherwise, it should only be a few hours before their next
post count starts (Think it resets the limit at 0:00 UTC.)

took us a few hours. took slunky a couple days. depends on when their
support folks happen to read the email, prolly. but like slunky said,
it resets every 24 hours anyway.

was a better afternoon and evening. we took pup for short walk. was windy
but not rainy. we like autumn days like that. we got tired fast though. then
after a little rest we did chores.
oscar better give us a break. maybe we had a hard time and it was a mess but
we *did* fix the toilet. we cleaned the bathroom. later we cleaned the
kitchen and made dinner. we also have done some laundry (although it's
sitting in the dryer).

Wow. That was fast. We had to wait all weekend, and they never even
e-mailed back. We're had to have them raise it twice because we post so

It works. some of us aren't so thrilled with the change. I think it will

we figured out identities. I think the only way to do sigs is to pull
from a file and not sure we want to do that or how to do that
gathring
can help with sigs if anyone wants. thunderbird is kind of limited in
way it does sigs tho, so really only get one sig per account.

yes, that's how. but we couldn't get it to format like we want.
anyway, if you have the identities, you don't really need to worry
about the sig.

OK, they may get annoyed at me for this, but...
We have been running a fever off and on.
We feel worse then yesterday
It is exactly like other sinus infections we have had and they have
turned really bad for us like giving us lung infections and stuff. Some
of us were worried we had a sinus infection a week ago!!!!!!!!!!!
We have a lot coming up and we want to be able to do it
Reasons to not go to the doctor-
wolfie says it hasn't been a week and antibiotics are over prescribed.
Of course, the problem with that is some of us thought we were sick and
it was probably a sinus infect last week *and* we had a cold not too
long before that which is the pattern with secondary infections.
We wouldn't be going to our normal doctor but going to a clinic

OK, we haven't made an identity for me yet. Oscar doesn't want me here
at all of course. I don't think I want to be called Need anymore but I
don't know what I want to be called... I'm not sure... It's hard to
believe I could have a name. That I could be someone.

yes. you tell them you had a cold and this is lingering and you've had
sinus infections many times in the past and they will prolly just give
you the antibiotics without much fuss and then you will start to feel
better pretty quickly. we had to go to one of those walk-in clinics in
another state for a sinus infection once. the doc there believed us
and spent all of about 5 minutes with us.
> We wouldn't be going to our normal doctor but going to a clinic
understand that discomfort. if you tell them the whole history of this
being sick from the cold on (bring it written down), they'll prolly
just ask you which antibiotic works best, write the 'scrip and move on.

The pup is worse then yesterday too, but he's settled down so we are
going to try to nap. *After* I send an email saying we can't go to choir

OK, thank you astri. We did this and it went like you said. We couldn't
remember what antibiotic works best but she said that was ok. And wolfie
and C were all worried when she took our blood pressure because we had
to take our sweatshirt off (we had a tee-shirt under) and hold out the
arm with the sleeve pulled up that has most of the scars. She didn't say
anything if she noticed. I didn't realize that was part of why they
didn't want to go someplace new. The doctor was really nice though. We
actually think we may like her better then where we normally go :O

Man, that must sock! Can you push a button on the base station and get

I lose my glasses sometimes and then I'm really in trouble, patting my

I'm not very blind but wear glasses because of lack of depth
perception. When I don't have them on I eventually get a headache and
then have to searching. When the kids were little I didn't want them
getting to the glasses and breaking them so I started hanging them off
the front of my shirt. Suddenly I realized I don't lose them any more!

If you read the story of Ester in the bible she started off as a

Of course you have a lot of flaws. Everyone does.
(Understand that isn't what you mean. Don't mean to disallow or
trivialise. Do believe that your flaws are magnified in your view,
and your strong points obscured.)
You are worthy. Actually, we think you're especially worthy because
you've had to do some of the dirtier jobs of survival - the ones
everyone else spurned because they're too unpleasant - and then,
instead of being thanked for sparing them those jobs, you were blamed
for being dirty. But the dirt isn't you, it's *on you. Possibly
engrained enough that it'll take more than one bath, but still not
part of you.

i have a lot of flaws and cause a lot of problems too. do know that
feeling worthy has nothing to do with being worthy, thank goodness.

I know that I often forget the possibility that someone might be
mistaken or accidentally be in error. My default assumption is that
someone is either Right or Lying, but there's a lot of grey territory
between those two.

In error
Accidentally xyz
