Hey Gary,

 

I guess should have known better than to have said that. I do care about people and the people I would be serving by providing them connection to the World Wide Web at a cost that is 1/3 of what most greedy companies providing the same wireless service charge with almost half the startup cost as well. If there is one thing I have learned from the stock market is that greed is the downfall for most everything. I had 200 shares that were worth nearly $35,000 at age 21 [I’m now going on 77] and didn’t sell them because I was greedy. Hind sight is 20/20 so I chalk it up as a life lesson. Any way, might point in that is I do not intend to “screw them” in fact I want them to have the option of leaving my service should I not be able to fulfill my end of the bargain. I plan on have no contracts, just a promise to provide the best services that we can. As you know by Anonymous IV’s E-mail regarding the lawsuit, I am [also] sensitive to people and could not live with myself if I knew I did anyone harm or that where were people out there that thought even I did them wrong.

 

Now it’s weird that you met the County Worker involved in Foster care or whatever her title was. My father and Stepmother are adopting a boy. It’s a long story but he is 4 now and has a lot of behavior problems, throwing tantrum etc. My dad is the most patient person I know and is pretty much the only person that can control him without the ever threatening a spanking or other physical or mental punishment as I know some parents out there use. Any way, until he is officially adopted, the government pays for him to see a psychologist which sound good enough on paper but when you are trying to help someone you have to be involved on a regular basis, the government psychologist only sees him once every 3-6 months. What kind of help or suggestions can be made from a 1 hour visit twice a year. But our tax money goes to this and other ridiculous attempts at being conscionable people (government). Any way I just thought it was interesting and good opportunity to vent.

 

I wish that Juli… and I could make it to your wedding party this evening. [She] is graduating this month and has big projects due (she ahs not been the most pleasant to be around, as she is under a lot of stress.) I don’t think she feels like being social right now on top of having the work load.  Have a glass of wine for me and send my love to Marie and the kids. You are a stepfather now, even though you helped raise them now you get to be official. Congratulations on the commitment that you have made to each other, hopefully I’ll be able to invite you to mine in the somewhat near future (haven’t proposed yet but hopefully within the next year or two.

 

Take care. Talk to you soon,

P.S. I hope I addressed what you were looking for, I read the majority of your email but I will get in trouble if I neglect my work for too long.
