Entry: Gone Thursday, December 15, 2005



My phone's been disconnected for lack of payment. A bit of a surprise since I only owed them a couple hundred $$ and they didn't give me but a few days' notice. I'm trying to work it out. At the moment I'm at the office using their computer while I'm on hold with the phone company.

I just talked to them. They claim I owe $500 (twice as much as the notice said I owed and as my records show I owed). They won't reconnect until the entire balance they're showing is paid. I'm history. It'll be months before I can get that kind of money together--if ever.

If you want to help, my PayPal acct is still active but I was going thru a button at a Verizon site which is locked and in any case will be taken down in a few days. I don't otherwise know how you could do it.

So I guess this is Good-bye. It was fun while it lasted. I'll miss you.

Mick,

If you find access somewhere, and you read this, email me and let me know if there is some way I can help. I can do my part to have a bloggy fundraiser and see what we can come up with.

Hey - Let us know how we can help. Give us an email address that PayPal knows - that should be all we need to send what we can your way. Your voice is too unique for us to lose.

I hope you can get to a library or Internet cafe and let us know how we can help.

I'll add my voices to the chorus. I don't have a PayPal acct but we only need someone to have one we can use and then fundraise away!

Thanks, all. My Paypal account is still active but both the addresses listed belonged to the Verizon acct. I'll have to give them a new one that isn't. When I do, I'll let you know here.

That and/or email us Mick. And like I said, we can do cross-blog fundraisers.

Definitely a worthy cause.

My Paypal password doesn't work. Maybe I changed it and didn't write it down but I don't remember doing that. They're sending it to me by snail mail (no option to give them another email address). It should take a week or so. In the meantime, I may have another place to go to get online that more often accessible than the office. I might be able to post occasionally. We'll see.

I agree with you the way you view the issue. I remember Jack London once said everything positive has a negative side; everything negative has positive side. It is also interesting to see different viewpoints & learn useful things in the discussion
