Thank you so much for the beautiful responses that I have recieved...I told you there was some very good people on this board! I tried going to the library in the past.but there was always a long waiting list,plus I live about a mile away.Unfortunatly sinse I'm on RSDI my budget is very tight,so getting another computer just isn't feasable at this time.
I've gotten some very nice emails from a few of you and they touched my heart.Wendy made a suggestion that maybe my son(Jerermy)allowed me to keep the computer for awhile sinse most or all of his roomates will have computers.He will be returning sometime tomorrow and I will run it be him.He will need it though come January when he re-starts school,so It would give me a an extra month or two.
Come tomorrow I would like to get more personal with a few I have come to know and adimer on this board...I just got to concentrate on what to say...there is so much I want to say,but I'm having trouble figuring out how I want to say it,and not forget all I want to say!
Thank you so much everyone for being such good friends!!
Love
Kevin
Hey Kevin. I have a question. (Hope I'm not being too nosey!) If you were able to get your own computer, would you be able to pay for the internet service? I ask because, every now and then, my Dad either upgrades or builds up a newer computer for my sons with spare parts he has. When that happens, we usually give the older one to someone who needs one or just throw it out. They are still perfectly fine.
I don't know how long it would be until that happens again. But when it does, I would be willing to ship it out to you. I even have a spare monitor that we don't use. Of course, the monitor would be pretty expensive to ship and you may be able to find a cheap used one in the paper. But I would ship that also if needed.
Let me know. Like I said, it could be a few months from now but I will give you first dibs on it if you are interested.

Hey Jodi! I just asked the same question, lol
Keep us infomed Kevin.
Keep us infomed Kevin.
Jodi...What I wonderful offer...I am am amazed that you would be willing to do that for someone you have never met in your life!!! Yes,I would be interested,but I feel guilty excepting such a gift.I think I would consult with other board members and family before you would be willing to do such a thing.
My Son pays for the internet service,I think it runs $46 a month with DSL...I might have trouble with that,but could make some sacrifices.Jodi...You my friend have demonstrated such love for another recovering addict that it overwelms me!!! Please get imput from others on the board and family before going ahead with this ...OKAY?..I'm not use to being on the recieving end for help.
Again Jodi...I want to make sure this would not put you out in anyway! And please,oh please get advise from others before acting on it!

Kevin,
Really it is no big deal. We have thrown computers away when nobody wanted them. By the way, you can get a dial up connection much cheaper! If you can deal with the slow speeds. DSL was a necessity at my house. With 2 kids and 3 computers in the house, the phone was always busy!
Hopefully your son will let you keep his computer for now. We don't want to lose you here! If you aren't able to keep his computer, email me before he takes it with a way to contact you. I will let you know as soon as I have one available.
You are worth it, Kevin. You have done so much for so many...especially me.

Wendy...You too are one scecial lady,I cant even explain what concern and compassion you have shown me...I'm not use to it,because of my back ground.God is truly smiling down on you and Jodi,for wanting to help out one of His children.By the way...How is your Mother doing?
I am truly speakless at both of your generousity! I don't want anyone to feel that I am taking advantage of anyones generousity.I will first see what my Son says' about waiting a few months before taking His.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!
Love
Kevin

Kevin,
It would be great if your son would let you keep his awhile longer. Also, maybe Santa could help out. I wanted to throw in that there are also computer repair places that sometimes sell used ones at good prices. You could get something, maybe even a laptop at a very good price. Esp since you only really need it for email. Just say hey I don't have hardly any money do you have something that will work for basic internet and see what someone can do. Don't give up. We refuse to say goodbyes around here.
Besides it's Hotel California here. You can say goodbye but you can never leave!
