I've not done a podcast in about a month now, because every time I go to do it something comes up. I was sick for a week, then had computer troubles and no computer at all, the phone would ring, my niece came over, I had to go out somewhere etc. Just ALWAYS something popping up preventing me from doing another podcast. Before I was having all these issues I lost three subscribers; now with no updates for so long I lost three more and am down to a thrilling five subscribers two of whom I know who they are and thus that they will not unsubscribe no matter what. I mean on one hand I can understand if a podcast has not been updated in a couple months or longer that you would probably want to unsubscribe assuming it was abandoned. But when it's only been a couple weeks? Whatever. I don't really care anyway it's just something I find a little curious is all. 

I am hoping to get a new cell phone with a different provider, I've found a plan that's far superior to my current plan with T Mobile. But the problem is my contract is not up until December of 2010. To get going with the new phone/plan I want will cost roughly $150 ($100 for the phone, $45 for the first month of service) and add that to T Mobile's $300 early cancellation fee... I just can't swing that. I could manage the new phone, it's that stupid ETF from T Mobile that I can't afford. I wish I could somehow come into a large amount of money; there are so many things that NEED to be done but we just cannot afford it at all. =(

Anyway. My niece just called and said she is coming over but I don't know when she'll get here if she is in fact allowed to come over. No school tomorrow... I never could understand why they schedule things like that. They had the Halloween weekend, back to school Monday then Tuesday off. Why not just give Monday off for an extended weekend? Well whatever. I need to get some supper in me and take a little walk before it gets too dark so I am off to do that. Hope y'all had a good Halloween & that November is off to a good start for everyone.

I feel your pain about the cnacellation fee, Leah. It's why I refuse to go on any monthly plan with anyone, regardless of how good they are. Then again, I don't really use my cell that much anyway, so it's actually cheaper for me to just buy my minutes as I need them. I hope you can get something sorted out soon.

As for the podcast thing, well, maybe the people who unsubscribed figured two weeks was too long. *shrug* I wouldn't worry about it too much; the people who stick it out with you are the people you want to have around you anyway, right?

Lady Wolfen Mists has a great idea for gifts, Leah. I was there a bit earlier, and I think her idea just might work... If you get a chance, drop by and visit her; she knows what we're all going through - she's been having a really hard time herself, lately - and personally, I think it's wonderful that she could feel so bad and still make other people feel so good... Just a thought, my friend.
