Tripod now have a bandwidth limit of 1 GB of traffic a month and they only offer 20 MB of website space (I don't know if the space limit is for new costumors or it'll be for oldies too)
Topcities (Where my graphics and other personal pages are) gives you 150 MB of space, but only offers 1 GB of traffic a month and you cannot upload anything bigger than 900 Kb in size. And there's limits to how fast you can upload things.

You have a good imagination, and often exhibit sensitivity to others.

There is a tremendous amount of intensity in your mental processes.

At times, you may tend to be overly sensitive to criticism. You can be excessively cautious or narrow in your outlook unless you receive the right kind of encouragement.

You are inclined to change your mind about things fairly often. This can make you seem very contradictory, since you are so passionate and sincere about each new idea you embrace.

You are a warm hearted person, with much love to give. Your high energy level enhances your ability to express affection.

There may be times in your life when you give in to feelings of sadness or depression.

You are likely to make decisions based on intuition or feelings rather than intellect.

You are naturally charming and inclined to be flirtatious.

There are inconsistencies in your energy level, possibly triggered by external factors or emotional changes. No matter what circumstances come your way, you have a generally positive attitude which may help you overcome life's obstacles.

Your high energy level and optimistic outlook draw people to you and increase your problem-solving capabilities.

You have a basically strong constitution, and should enjoy good health most of the time.

You are likely to make many changes in the direction of your life. This may be based on interruptions due to health problems, or it may be that you just have trouble focusing your energy.

No matter what other factors influence your personality, there is an under lying sense of practicality that you can draw on if you wish.

1. What was your first job?
I had a small paper route delivering the weekly add-paper in our neighborhood. Didn't pay a whole lot but it was fun, except for the big and mean dogs.

2. How old were you when you had your first kiss?
That must have been just after I was born when I was put in my mothers arms. The first kiss from hubby was somewhere around December 25, 1997 *g*

3. What was your first car? What happened to it?
I have never had a drivers license, but I'm hoping sometime this year and I'll be driving around in a Dodge Neon when it happens :)

4. What was your first concert?
Johnny Cash in the Tivoli Gardens in Copenhagen, Denmark. It was one of those spur of the moment things, but it turned out great.

I was nosing around the hose of my other pages and it appears that they have lowered the monthly bandwidth usage for nonpaying costumors to 500 MB a month. That is not a whole lot when you have a site offering PSP Picture Tubes and other misc. graphics stuff. It's going to be interesting to see how often my site is going to be disabled for going over the limit. Of course I could pay them $25 a month and get 11 GB of bandwidth in addition to some other goodies, but they're too new in the paid hosting business for me to want to put my monies there just yet. I have to wait and see how it turns out.

I'm not really sure I want a paid domain for my graphics sites at all because of the badwidth usage involved. The day I cannot find any "free" webhost to host those two pages, I might just have to pull them offline. Or if I do get a domain fo my own rotate some of my offerings on a limited basis and just have the personal and blog pages as my main content. That would also give me a little less work to worry about.

I used to use a saying which states something like "Lonely, but not alone."

Lately it has been on my mind quite a lot as I'm trying to deal with some of the feelings of being a bit lonely and isolated at times while doing all the waiting for different issues which has to fall into place before I have just a minimal chance of changing things around to something more fulfilling.

Yes I do feel lonely and isolated, because I haven't managed to secure an offline support network of my own. All my actions and needs of support are still very much dependent on the few times a year dh and I go down to visit the American part of the family. When we're back home, I'm pretty much dependent on when he wants to get out of the house or I can talk him into making a random car trip into the unknown.

I wouldn't feel so bad if I had my own means of transportation because then I could go hunting for social situations on my own. I have mentioned before that I would love to take some classes at the local community college and that would definitely be one of my top priorities (pending all the ESL testing I would have to do before hand), not to mention I would be able to actually look for work or make use of some of the many varied local cultural arrangements in the area.

I am not alone though. I have a wonderful husband who does his best to allivate some of these feelings, two extremely funny cats who will not let me brood over things for too long and a few semi-close online friends. These have been my choices for the last 4 years, but I need a little more variaty so I don't end up wearing everyone to the bone.

Someone asked me how much is enough. Truth to be told I am not completely sure about that question. I guess it really depends on what exactly we're talking about and wheter or not it is on a personal level or something not quite within a personal reach.

For me personally I know I've been talking and thinking a lot about certain subjects because I feel I have had enough time of waiting, wondering and worrying. For me it is more than enough to have waited a little more than 4 years for something which I also know probably will take a lot longer before I can move on and maybe concentrate about different things.

I have also had enough of watching myself wading around the same subject like a bull waiting to charge at first convinient moment. It doesn't quite do anything good for me, unless you consider bouts of extreme broodiness, moodiness, anger, fear and frustration to be good ways to spend most of you time while awake.

It didn't quite use to be like that, but the longer it all takes the more often I find myself dwelling on things and mulling it all over until I've caught myself in a downward spiral of no good. I know this and I know I really ought to try to concentrate about different things instead of spending so much time being concerned about subjects which I cannot do anything about anyway.

I am thinking about the future of my various pages (graphics, tubes, personal etc) and what I want to do with them. All of them, except this blog have been inactive for several months without new stuff being added other than maybe giving them some new graphics so it looks like I'm still active (It really just is a smokescreen). I don't know what I'm going to do with it all. I'd been dreaming about getting my own domain so I could have most of my stuff in one place, but all the inactivity really doesn't make the cost of a domain (yes I know you can get them dirtcheap) worth it.
