  I supposedly have DSL now but it doesn’t want to work.

  However, my dial-up now works like a charm. I think the phone company turned a secret dial, the one that frustrates Luddites like me with its hideous quality and weird quirks. But whatever! Dial-up works like a charm now, but the DSL - eh, not so much.

    I think I got it to work! I wasn’t holding a button down long enough.

    And it kept opening my email program, but I have around 900 messages I haven’t downloaded (which is why I never open my email program) ( ) so I kept having to force-quit it.

    But I think it works. But I have to run into the other room and plug in a phone and see if I have a dial tone to see if it really *does* work.

    omg, I feel so - so modern! Or is that post-modern???

    Actually, now that I have DSL, I think I can visit your site.

    But I need dinner first — and to resend the mass emails I sent out giving people my new email. I kind of, er, gave them all the wrong one.

      Biscuit,

      Methinks you have a secret desire to shed some people you don’t like! When I got my new email I never could remember if it was a com or a net. I KNOW I dissed a few people with the wrong address. Us Luddites need to stick together.

    Hey MF,

    Looked at your canning peppers, could that work with roasted peppers? I don’t think so, but what do you think? I usually just roast a bunch of spicy/hot peppers and freeze in baggies for use all year. I like the roasted flavor for dishes. But I like your idea of the fresh canned for condiments at the table and could also be added in dishes. What a dilemma! Um, I love these dilemmas!
    I have a really good recipe for pepper hash that is to die for. I used to get jars at a festival that were worth their weight in gold. Then the lady that did them gave my Mother (one of her best friends) the recipe as she was dying from cancer. I found the recipe after my Mother died.

    You know, mf, I got to see it and it’s wonderful. Well worth a read, and very informative.

    Then my browser crashed. So it now takes blogspot a mere second to load and good 10 minutes to crash my browser, as opposed to taking 10 minutes to load, failing to load and crashing the browser anyway. Progress!
