A Note from IdahoLonely
Phillip Dampier:
I heard from IdahoLonely in e-mail today. Apparently the library's Internet connection to the web isn't working properly THIS WEEK (is it the dark ages out there or what?) He wants everyone to know he's coming back. In fact, he's just done his taxes and I will be helping him secure a good deal on an entry level Dell computer (since they use those at the library anyway) and help him get hooked up with Internet at home.
He misses everyone and is frustrated that he's been cut off from us. I let him know we're not going anywhere. Hopefully in a week or so he'll be able to come visit from home.
Lynne:
Thank you for the update, Phillip...I wondered what was going on there and sent a PM to check in earlier. You're a good friend.

Phillip Dampier:
Folks, I just got off the phone with him after making a three way call with Dell to get his system ordered. It's on the way and with a free second day air upgrade I managed to haggle for. He should have it on Wednesday at the latest.
He will, of course, kill me for saying this, but boy he even sounds like Ennis. I was teasing him for his marbles-in-the-mouth western accent and the fact he had to repeat everything twice to the operator because she couldn't understand him either. ;D
So just to taunt me, he started ending sentences with "hunh?" He has it down pat! Of course, I got it in return because of my "professional radio voice." He thinks I sound like a "fast talking car salesman." I do have a radio voice, but I'm about as non-slick as they come. Then he called me a "flatlander" which evidently refers to anyone who isn't living on the side of a mountain. I told him he needs to come east and see West Virginia which has infamous mountains of its own.
Anyway, I told him of the many messages I've gotten on the forum both private and public concerned about him, and he said it was the first time in his life that many people cared about anything he did. He laughed, so it was not a Prozac moment here.
Anyway, next week we will be getting him set up with a real live dial-up Internet account and then he can get back on here (and probably slash me for writing all this.)
