Memnoch,
I have been having trouble getting in and then switching screens. Sloooooow as molasses going uphill on winter day. During the week when I check in from work we have ethernet connections (university) and I'm spoiled. More activity when I'm home, though. And btw, I like that nickname Shall I develop multiple board personalities syndrome too?
LadyZ: I can sympathize about the housing! Same thing happenend to me, that's why my friend and I decided to work out a deal and build this one. My elderly landlady died and her greedy sister put the place on the market before I went to the funeral. I was a basket case at the time, she had been a friend for about 10 yrs (from church) and I was so unnerved I dropped the host at communion- only time I've done that in my life. Somehow, I just knew I couldn't stand looking for another apt. and another dear friend said there was no reason why I should settle for apt. living just because I was single- the light dawned and my best friend and I made our agreement. And here I am in my modest Cape Cod, happy-happy-happy!
I sincerely hope all goes well with your search! And fwiw, I agree about the kitties-mine have all their claws, and I have scars to prove it You're down in DC area? Last time I was down there I was five, we lived in a crummy apt complex on the Potomac. Hope the options get better!
