I wish I could remember the call. It takes about a minute or so for me to become huminoid. If its 1 in the after noon and I get woke up, then I get wokie up. I may not be in condition to continue on the phone but thats not your fault. Its mine.

Things I have learned since I got sober, I put TD> that to service. I take cash for techie calls but with close friends or folks I know who are disabled anbd house bound, a decent meal does the same thing. I set up [from scratch-from parts] a p5-133 for a quad on a respirator [permanently] who could use a mouth stick. I started at 9:30 and finished at about 18:00. Her aide fed me a soup and cheese snadwich for lunch, and we had delmonico steakes [which are very reasonable priced locally] and asparigus I had brought for supper. in addition they provided diet pepsi. It probably cost about $11.00 for the three of us. She felt the price was right, I bought the parts in places where I get discounts as Bear Consulting, used a used Supra fax/modem 14.400 modem that had come out of my main machine when I put the USR V.Everythiing in [ever notice how decent modems seem to pile up as you upgrade to the next line of fancy go-fast goody?]. It cost her about $1100 with a used 21 inch hi-def monitor bought from another client who was upgrading and agreed to help with this project [he sold it at the IRS salvage value at its 3 yr deppreciation point-still darned good monitor]. How much was that job worth? nothing, because she could not have been able to afford it even at Packard Bell Prices [barf-yuck-gag-ker-plop]. As result she got a machine that will probably last for a good number of years and I wrote a text file on what/why and anyone can fix a bad part or malfunction. What did I get out of the job? Two meals, company while I ate [not common in my life]. 2 liters of diet pepsi, some candy, popcorn, and a cat sitting on my shoulders supervising the construction.

I was told early in the program that my believe and faith in God would decide if I recovered from a hopeless state of mind and body or if I stayed in the diease. Whats your thoughts? It's been a long hard struggle to find a faith that works but when I finally surrendered and quit trying to work so hard the teacher appeared. Life still has its ups and downs but I found I have not been tempted that that God has not giving me a way to endure through it and life has actually become an adventure. I have been blessed with the return of my family and have for the first time in my life been able to form a partnership with my fellow human beings. God has made all this possible for me when I do his will... Doing Gods will is the hard part because all the things in me are usually the opposite of Gods will. Lust...Greed...Glutony...etc. Prayer keeps me out of myself and in touch with God the Father. And a lot of following his Son.
