Update Jan. 14: Alas, Noos France still has not resolved the issue of internet access. I have had numerous frustrating phone conversations with their technicians, to no avail. Today I'm at my husband's office using his computer (while he's out to lunch). I have written Noos a letter outlining the problems and taking them to task for their lack of cooperation. I am missing you all and hope my LAN access will be repaired soon!
You may have noticed the deafening silence from here the past couple of days. That's because my LAN service provider is experiencing problems and I have no internet access. At first I thought it was my computer, but have just had the technician round, who informed me otherwise. This being France, with bureaucracy galore, it could take a few days to get the problem resolved. I'll be back ASAP with lots to say, especially about George Bush's clueless attempts at diplomacy vis a vis the Israeli/Palestinian peace talks.
I love your voice and hope this gets fixed soon.
I also stopped by to say that ReadWritePoem is still up and at 'em. Would love to see you there if you are inclined. (You are one busy gal, though!)

Tara,computers are great when they function, but when they don't...it is a hair puller!! Take it easy and don't let it get to you. Looking forward to your return. This is your friend in Iowa who now has a typepad account. I am another one who is anxious to learn your thoughts on Bush and His Mideast Caper!!!

I can hardly wait! Oh, gosh, it's going to be a very L-O-N-G year here in the USA. Hope they get you going soon!

I hope to see you back online soon!

Now I understand! I thought cetainly Tara will speak the good strong voice about Bush and the Israeli/Palestinian peace talks.
I cannot wait to hear what you will say! And also of course about the long desired news of Bettencourt!

I hope your internet access is restored soon. Does Mr. Bush think he can perform a miracle at this late date? - Or, perhaps, he is schmoozing with oil interests to pump up the family coffers. I can't get any more disgusted than I already am.

don't worry i'll be waiting here for you!
