We Keep the Flame.

kshandra and I have decided that we've been paying to much for cable and internet, and today signed up for AT&T service to handle these important parts of our lives. Saving a good amount and getting better services as well.

The downside is were going to be off the net for a few days until the switch is made. Not sure when the blackout period will start, but it will hopefully be later today.

Anything vital comes up, and Kiri can post it from her job. I'll be going cold turkey for the most part.

Since I use gmail for everything, the dberry49er(at)gmail.com address will not change. Anyone who uses kshandra's mindspring account to contact her needs to check her journal for her gmail.

4-6 days without the net. This could be interesting.

This is could be considered part of the de-cluttering process. Part of the whole plan is not just getting rid of stuff, but simplifying your entire existence. Reducing costs and turning two bills into one definitly counts. Along those lines, we dumped two more boxes of books (the rejects from the used book store) at Goodwill. Today's plan was the kitchen table, but has been changed to digging out around the TV and the path the cable takes out through the bedroom.
