So. Still on very limited ‘net access, but I have managed to get a few of the photos pages updated (meaning that when you click the thumbnails, pictures actually show up). Not many, mind you, on not the most recent pages, but still - something is better than nothing, yea?

We’re all still out here in CA, and still no certain date, or even a tentative one, for moving. Basically, we’re taking it a week at a time. When we can pay rent, storage, and gorcery bills we consider that a good week - I’ll be so glad when John’s child support issues are finally straightened out. I miss my cable internet. I miss WoW. I miss eating out. Heck, I miss having spare cash laying around after the bills have been paid. But such is life. Good times, bad times, we all trudge on. This is me. Trudging.

In other news: Bibliophile is doing well, still holding steady at about 50 members. I was just saying to John this morning that its too bad I can’t put this sort of thing down on a resume. Somehow I doubt that a prospective employer is going to be impressed with my management and administration of an online (and free) game. But its fun. And I’m still planning on opening a second TCG as soon as time allows. Right now, though, it would just be too frustrating to have such limited ‘net access and to try to upload and update twice as much content on a dial-up connection. So, I have cards and pages and game ideas sitting on my hard drive, just a-waitin’. I’m a little bummed, though, because I”d planned to open a fantasy themed TCG, and then someone else opened one - with a lot of the same ideas that Carole and Shenny and myself had been discussing and planning. Odd coincidence, yes? But nevertheless. I’ll still be opening - eventually - and will still be using all the ideas and activities I had been brainstorming, competition be damned.

We now return you to your regularly schedule program. Thanks for reading. Ta.

So, I think I’ve fixed the minor IE compatability issues. Careless cssing on my part, and I’m a little scared to test it in Netscape… I don’t want to know about the hundred other things I need to tweak for this to look the same across the board.

They’re showing Grey’s Anatomy from the first episode on now - I forget which channel it is. But I’m in heaven. I love that show, and I somehow missed out on at least the first season of it, so I’m glad for the recap, even though I know how everything turns out now. Its the only series I’ve ever seen that I would actually consider buying the dvd of if they ever compiled it. I’m not big on series-type shows.

I’ve gotten some pictures of the baptism, and will post them as I’m able. Probably nothing big any time soon, but eventually. Losing our cable modem really screwed with my plans. Keslyn and I had made up little cards and passed them out at the party after her baptism, telling everyone that pictures would be up soon at this address, and then… -poof- Nothing. I feel bad. I feel a little stressed, too, now. Like I have to get them up ASAP, but I just don’t have the opportunity. Dial-up connections every now and then are not conducive to massive file uploading. Not one little bit.

John was in touch with the child support people, in a round about kind of way. Apparently the guy that ultimately receives John’s garnishments before they go to Liisa never got one of the payments. So he had to contact John’s boss and John. It was a little worrisome, but we found out that this guy could lower John’s child support. Maybe. He faxed John some paperwork to fill out and fax back, but we still won’t know anything for 30-45 days. It said on the paperwork that an individual will get faster results filing for a court date to get the child support lowered, but after waiting for over a year for the courts to even serve her… Well, lets just say we’er not hopeful that the courts are moving on this issue.

And that’s news in a nutshell. We’re still in CA, and we still don’t have a set date to leave, although I can’t help but feel like time is running out on us - CA is so darned expensive! But life goes on… And so do we. Just how we do it is a mystery… Heh. Theme song goodness - I think that was from The Wonder Years, but my memory is a bit spotty and I can’t be certain…
