Look. I was just told that Russ & co won't accept my posts mail-wise
anymore, so now I have to run back and forth between Sweden
and the US (through route of Kamtjatka and Alaska) where the servers are
located and use a binary link to manually type in my posts directly to the
database file on disk BIT BY BIT. HA! Beat that! 😠

OH! Did I say I have an internet connection? What I meant was that I have to send morse code messages to Nordlys, and she writes them down on paper to mail to Russ, who then ...
Ahhh, this is getting ridiculous isn't it!? I bet you don't even believe me. 🙁

Sometimes I had to reboot up to six or so times to get it to redial and reconnect. The computer people told me there was no problem with the computer. No problem? These problems are just a half of the problems. Msblaster entered and my computer disconnected every ten to twelve mins. My My you have to just love those hightech vandals. Finally I down loaded a XP upgrade and the problem was fixed. Finally after three years or so that is. P.S. Can somebody show me who created that Msblaster so I can show him how much I love him?? Sometimes I wish I never bought a computer.
Every couple minutes-every couple hours it goes" internet performed some kind of f-ed up error and it's illegal""close or debug?" and I have to start the whole stupid thing over again

First I had to get up on the roof of Kista Science Tower (supposed to
be a skyscraper, but we really can't build those things here in Sweden)
where the freezing wind can kill you in matter of minutes, and shout it
from the top of my lungs. My friend in Skåne (Sweden's equivalent of the
deep south) used a special horn to catch my howling message and wrote
it down on a stone tablet using very primitive tools. Then he swam across
the sea to Germany, ran along autobahn (fast lane) and continued all
the way to France, where I was waiting after having caught a flight to
Paris. Now, with my exhausted friend on my shoulders I took the
sewers out of the city and then continued across mixed terrain until I
reached Calais, from where I swam (still with my friend on my shoulders)
over to Dover (I wish someone had told me about the bloody tunnel 😠).
Climbing up the cliffs we finally reached safe ground. Our journey
continued like this all the way to the US where a bunch of idiotic
coastguards stopped us and sent us home because "you have no
paaaassport, you haaave to haaave a paaassport" 🙄. Once back in
Stockholm I decided it would be easier to just use another friend's
computer and type it in. So, here it is. 😕

Originally posted by stockenYeah, but I suppose you got to use indoor stairs to climb to the top of the Kista Science Tower! Wimp. I've been trying to find grips on the outside of the Sears Tower in Chicago, as I climb the outside to reach the top. I'm only on the 75th floor because I'm a little tired after walking here all the way from Wisconsin. Plus I thought I was carrying Huck part of the way, which I was perfectly willing to do since he's a friend and all, but it turns out it was some other guy in a hockey mask. I was lucky, though, because we passed a field of cows (duh!) and I managed to convince Hockey-Face that we were in Thailand, so he decided to go hunt the cows. So at the moment, as I cling to the side of this building, I am writing my message on the dirty tower window in reverse letters so that the security guard can stop playing on-line chess long enough to send this message...

I've seen some tough forum posting ways here, but.....
I had to crawl, yes crawl through the sewers down to the Gulf of Mexico swim in waters completely covered in Protugese man-o-wars, hike across Texas, D*%$ really big state, land in the Grand Canyon and send smoke signals at night. in hopes that Reinfeld, Yes Reinfeld can actually see the signals and translate them here for me.
