Sorry you missed me

Posted by padschicago on June 17, 2009

I just left the chat room.  I got to meet people from around the world!  The data from my website show people reach it from all over the USA, plus the UK, Africa, Spain–literally all over the world!  I really am impressed with myself!  LOL.  And I happy to have met some of my followers in chat today.  Thank you for visiting!

I am trying to decide on a regular chat time.  Please tell me if you are interested in being at a chat but a certain time frame would work best for you–I will take it under consideration in my planning!  I would like to use chat time for Q&A, to get to know you, and your needs, comments and feedback, anything about homelessness or poverty.

Sigh. I need a credit/debit card.

Posted by padschicago on June 12, 2009

I’m trying to send faxes again but since I have to use free online fax services, I am severely limited in how many faxes I can send out until I can get a credit/debit card with money on it to subscribe to an online fax service to send faxes.  I can receive faxes now for free using eFax.  Problem is I have no income, and online fax services typically have a set-up fee, monthly fee, plus a fee per page.  Sounds like motivation to find a real job and paycheck.
