I am alive and well. To catch you up, I am nearly blind from a cataract. My insurance won't pay for the surgery until July. It takes me a long time to read stuff, and I can't scan pages very fast anymore. I can't work, can't keep a contract, and my reserves are about down to the ding.

However, I am working on forming a not-for-profit foundation for people like me who ARE indicative of the health care system in this country. I had an epiphany while talking with a woman with the ADA in Washington.

Mine is a very exciting project. If you would like to have my e-publications on it, you can add yourself to my e-mailing list by sending an email entitled "ADD ME" to thereishope@tx.rr.com. I will start putting out information this week, as soon as I am sure my name is secure. I am working on communications this week, and another thing I am going to put up is a forum. I'll let you know by email when it is up and running.

Let me say to my friends who will believe with me, that as soon as I told God I would quit ignoring His jabs, and start this thing, money, and people have fallen into my lap to help. Information has bombarded me from every corner of my existence. I am positive this is the direction I am supposed to take. I've been unemployed for 2 years. All the doors were closing, and there were no windows....except the one I refused to look through.

Yes, I am running a club on Gold Token. It's called Castaways. We have 150 members - in other words, it is full. If you play on GT, and would like to become a member, just PM stormy rebel, and she will put you on the waiting list. NO! WAIT! We had 149 members today. You should have an invitation to join in your box to join, Alexlee. Anyway, Castaways keeps me busy. I have a music board over there too, but until I get Castaways on the level, it's just sitting there.

OK, enough. I miss all my friends here terribly. But, I'm kind of off on another tangent right now. I'm around though, if you care to look for me.
