Hello Everyone

I am disabled confined to a wheelchair, I am looking for someone to
correspond with. I have several qualifications on the PC and most of it
was done by post.

I am interested in anyone who can and will help me learn more on the PC.
or if they wish just write to me!

Now who would like to write to an interesting person, who's passion is
PCs and writing letters and writing books?

I enjoy being on the PC, and learning as much as I can on the technical
side.

While I'm on the PC, I have as much fun as I can and tease people,
without I hope, hurting them! As sometimes I seem to take people for
granted, and what may be amusing to me! may be taken serious by other
people.

So! watch out!:-)

If I ever do offend you, please let me know! but it is only meant as a
bit of harmless fun!

I am Married to Betty, Tina and Lesley are my two girls, Tina 21yrs
Lesley 15yrs, And I have a son Stephen 19yrs, he is in the Army.

And  I have been married to Betty for 25yrs in November!

I spend a lot of time on my PC, I can travel to anywhere I want to, and
all it costs me is a phone call.

As I said, I am happy when I'm on my PC, and I certainly don't want hate
mail!

I was at college yesterday, and it was a bit hectic! as one of the women
who is down syndrome, became vicious! it took two Carer's to calm her
down! at one stage she was screaming and shouting some of the foulest
language, and I thought she was going to pick up one of the computers
and throw it around the room!

But they managed to calm her down and got her ready then took her home,
it must be so frustrating for her, trying to learn the computer, and
when she gets into difficulties she loses her temper. I always wondered
why, when she arrived at the college,  she was always accompanied by two
Carer's from the home she is at, although I have seen her there a few
times, this was the first time I have seen an outburst from her.

Normally, when I've seen her she has been so quiet!  May be she is
trying too hard?

There is no college next week, as it is half term, then in June the
college closes for eight weeks, so it looks like I am going to get a
little bored! Yes there are other places, Day Centres that I could
attend, but the problem is traveling! I hate being on a special bus too
long! I would be picked up around 10 am, and then they go around picking
up other disabled passengers.

After all the passengers have been picked up, I will have been on the
bus about one and a half hours! then they head for the centre, which
takes about half an hour, that means I arrive at the Centre around lunch
time.  Then I get about two to two and a half hours at the centre,
before it's time to go home! which means another two hours on the bus!
So what this means is, I spend more time on the bus than I do at the
disabled centre. now you can understand why I am reluctant to go there.

There is no other disabled Centres near where I live! Only an old folks
home! And there is nothing else available, anyway it gives me more time
on the computer, annoying you with my philosophies:-) I think this is
the right word, I know you will probably correct me:-) especially since
I'm only a Country Bumpkin:-)

I have begun to realise since I started writing, that the humour differs
from country to country, this is a problem at times, when I am writing
my book, and I put something in it which is amusing! I have to think
that if this ever gets published, would the readers find it amusing
also? maybe you have ideas on this? all contributions welcome!

I find that the deeper I go into this novel that I am writing, the
easier it is getting to write! Ideas and plots just seem to fall into
place, whereas when I first started, I found it difficult to put myself
in the same position as the character, but I have found that when I am
writing, if I take on the role of the character, then I can visualise
the situation.  Does that make sense to you?

I know I am not bad at writing, and I can express myself quite easily!
but in real life, I am a bit of an introvert, I like it when I am on my
own, and I like listening to soft music, which is what I am doing at the
moment. I have got a CD Rom on this computer, so I can listen to my
music Cd's while I am typing. 

Well if anybody wants to write to me after that lot, then I look forward
to hearing from you.

Your friend

Mike

I cannot respond by post since my e-mail account doesn't allow me to
make costs. So I descided to respond this way

>I am interested in anyone who can and will help me learn more on the PC.
>or if they wish just write to me!

The only things I'm good at on a PC is writing programs in Visual Basic,
and creating problems with my network settings

You should really be carefull with this.

Well, it's also a way to communicate. But I think that sending the
message through the network goes faster.
