I been good for the most part.  And even though I haven't posted I have been
reading posts most of the time.  Though for a while there I was having line
problems.  I kept getting dropped.  Found out that my cable line filter
shorted out.
and speaking of shorts my TV also shorted out last night.  Well at least the
last of the shorting happend last night.  I was lissing to a show when a
garbled sound happend.  sort of like five or six tv channals at the same
time.  This was followed by a high wineing sound.  I couldn't get the tv to
shut off and some one had to chase the plug down and pull it from the wall.
It smelled like burnt plastic and cirects for two or three hours after the
thing was halled out of my room.  I was lucky that some one was here at the
time to track down the right line or I would have had to keep pulling wires
until I found the right one.  So things have been a little odd here lately.
On the plus side I found a DVD player that I can use.  Most of them have to
many buttens for me to get to work.  The best feature to me is it remembers
where I was in a disc when I stop and even if I remove a disc and play a
diffrent one.  So I can get to the same place in my books on disc if my mom
puls out the disc to watch one of her flicks.
though as the tv needs to be replaced she is stuck to playing books on it as
well.  good thing it can be hooked to the stareo system or I would have to
wait to find out how it plays.
how have things been with you?
