Life isn't an adventure. It's a miserable journey to who knows where.

     So AOL is going to be free.  Well, kinda sorta free.  Sounds
    to me like they are talking in circles.  Here's some links
    for you:

   I have obviously gotten someone upset and I don't know what
   I did/said.  Until this person speaks to me I won't know
   what I did/said.  I'm sorry.  I wouldn't do anything on
   purpose I hope you know that.

    The weather is horribly hot.  More than hot.  It takes your
    breath away when you step outside.  I finally filled up the
    birdbath with some fresh water.  It may be boiling by the 
    time they get to it though.

     A couple of weeks ago my brother called my parents to get
     my email address.  I had given it to him before and he never
     used it.  He evidently doesn't know my phone number (which
     is ok I don't have his and I have no idea where he lives. well
     I know what city and that's about it).  He emailed me one
     line to "check" the email address to make sure it worked.
     I have emailed him twice since then and have not heard one
     word from him.  Once I set up a special email address 
     (with yahoo) so his youngest daughter (who is almost 19)
     could email me.  I even used her first name in the address
     so it would be easy for her to remember.  I emailed the
     address to her only to never here from her.  My SIL hates
     this side of the family  -- well she hates everyone really,
     so maybe that is why I haven't heard.  But it makes me
     really mad and upset to think my only brother can't be
     bothered to send a simple email.  I know he is on the 
     computer all the time.

      So the only family I really have (since brother dear is 
      being a total rear end) is my parents.  Thanks to my 
      depression I have lost all my friends, the church I was
      going to had some one acting like a total fool and the
      pastor left and then the assistant pastor quit, and  the
      church is split.  People have left, some new ones have
      come.  I don't feel comfortable there now.  So all I have
      is my parents, my 2 cats and some "online friends".  Life
      sucks it really does.

      Dropped the price of my aunt's house but it still hasn't
      sold.  The real estate guy says it is because of the
      neighborhood its in.  Beginning to wonder if we will ever
      get rid of the place.  My dad is still paying to keep the
      lights and water on.  Mom has had to pay taxes on it (since
      it is technically in her name) and homeowners insurance.
      Have to hire some one to go mow the yard ever so often.
      Sucky life. 

      If you understand how and when AOL is free let me know.
      I saw it on the news, I have read about it and I am so
      confused.  AOL sucks.
