Quitting smoking (again)
by DanTheMan ini managed to stay off the bloody things for over 2 1/2 yrs but alas i fell off the wagon in september.
my plan is to ramp-down today by only having a cig every two hours or so, then cold turkey tomorrow.
i have a hard time holding myself to 'quit days' when i'm the only one who knows what day it is, hence i'm making it public so that i feel more accountable.

Good idea. He'll understand Classified and Addresses. Which is not something we talked to the grandkids about when we taught them to use the computer at 3 and 4yrs old.
He kept asking how much it was going to cost. I kept telling him it was free. He had heard that "images" that he might not want to see might pop-up. I was going to explain that the WWW was like a hugh set of encyclopedia's and he could turn the page if it he didn't care to view certain things.
He seems very insecure of himself, and was shocked that someone would even offer to help.
Library opens in 30 minutes, I'm going to call there ahead of time to make sure it's going to be ok to do this.
Oz keeps refering to him as my "date" hehehe

shameless *bump*
I asked if he had a home computer, he told me 12 yrs ago when a company he was working for went out of business, they gave the computers away to who ever wanted them. He took one home and it's been sitting in a corner since then, he just didn't know how to hook it up and didn't have all the cords that were needed.
I didn't have the heart to tell him that it probably wasn't going to be any good.

Oooo, good idea. He told me he was born in another country. Don't remember which one, other side of the pond. They had migrated here when he was 15. I thought it would be cool to show him how easy it was to Google information about his hometown, maybe find family or something.

Any suggestions?
I've mentioned in some of my last few posts, that I was taking classes with Job and Family Resources. There is 8 in the class. One man, I'm guessing 60ish is having problems. Not sure exactly what happened but he worked for a school as night janitor and is now on Administrative Leave. He doesn't know when or if he'll get his job back. He also thinks there may be an court date soon. He doesn't know if he should wait for this job or look for another. His wife has left him. He also shared with the class that he's afraid he's going to lose his home. He knows nothing about computers. NOTHING. There are classes at the J&F Resources, for computer, but he needs the help now to sell a few things, cars, tools, ect, so he can get some cash now.
Yesterday, he showed up in class and he didn't look so good. He said, he wasn't prepared for class, he needed to pick up medications from the Vets Hopsital, he's missed two days this week, and didn't think he could stay or catch up. I talked him into staying for as long as he could. I also gave him my home phone number and told him if he'd call me, we set up a time to meet at the Library and I'd show him, Craigslist and a few local Yahoo Groups that he could list and possibly sell some of his stuff and make a little cash. Anyway...he stayed for most of the day, and told the rest of the class that he almost didn't come. But now he was so grateful that he did, and looked at me and smiled.
He called last night at 9:20pm and asked if he was calling to late. I told him it was fine, and told him I'd call him (this morning) at 11am and we'd meet at the Library.
I'm going to show him how to set up an Email Account, how to get and post on Craigslist, ect....
Remember he has no computer knowledge. I've got a notebook that I'm going to take to write down URL's and directions, so when he goes at it alone, he'll have something to go by.
Anyone else think of anything I can show him or tell him that might help?

Hello to all who knew me...
by Joyzabel inas i sit here addressing my xmas cards for this year and think of all the people who have helped me on my jouney this past 7 years and especially the past 3, i thought i would post a thread letting people who knew me know how i am and what i have been up to this past year.. .
it will soon be 2 years since i moved from florida to atlanta, ga. even though it was going back to full time work, i love my job and am glad i have one.. .
i acknowledge that my therapy has helped me to get my mind untangled from being raised in a high control group and from being married to an alcoholic.

Who here has lost their job?
by daniel-p ini found out a couple weeks ago i'll be losing my job by the end of the year.
despite having a bs, and almost a masters in a professional field, an outstanding education record, and having project management experience, i've had zero luck in getting a new job.
unfortunately, i don't live in a large metro area, and so opportunities for my line of work (governmental) are limited here.

I have.
I've been taking classes though Job and Family Resources. There is eight in the class. Two homeless. One is a woman 53, been living in a homeless shelter since April. She's not alcholic or drug addict...just bad choices. One man 57 is trying to get back into the workforce after spending the last 7 yrs caring for his sick-aging parents until they recently died. One 24yr old, with 5 kids and an 11th grade education. Several are going though divorce.

they said that no one can go over their allotted time at all during the tms.
if the bell rings you are to stop immediately- not even finishing your sentence.
