Tom, listen buddy; we are going through this again. Last time in the office I told you I couldn't go to the Library: it's not open after hours; long lines; slow;shortened hours on weekend, not convenient.
Then Tom we went over your medication list again and you told me that you hadn't taken the pills regularly ( Xanax, Prozac, Lithium and the Valium for anxiety and the Haldol ) because you were " too busy posting on SI" and " you forgot ". I then told you that that was not a good idea because now your wife is all upset and she is calling me your brother etc.

Now, all I am asking you, is, did you forget the pills again? Reason I am asking Tom is because I have a whole bunch of folks from SI AOL thread today who have been mailing all kinds of threatening e-mails, telling me that they will sue me because you are not taking your pills. Now this is not fair Tom because you know I can't take the pills for you. You have to take them.
So, let's do this. You know what happened the last 4 times you didn't take 'em right? We don't want that now right? So the best thing now is go home; immediately take the pills and don't post on SI for 6 weeks because that is how long it will take for them to work. Then at that time come back to SI and I will try and persuade the folks on this thread how we can get our Library to be more responsive so we can get off AOL. I think to be honest with you, by then most of these folks will have gotten their investment back and some ( I know you don't think that is right, but we can't change some things ) and maybe we can persuade them to sell AOL and look for something with a better PE.
I don't think it will help now telling them they are crazy because they already know that, everybody tells them so every day. OK? Is this a deal?
OK, don't worry about the bill this time, we'll send it to Uncle Sam
( as usual, he is more than glad to pay, :-) .

Take care now,

TA, M.D.

you said Tom ::
FREE AOL TOO............................

The trick.. I use a different credit card for each sign up and after the month you call
to cancel and tell them you are going away for a couple of weeks and they give you
the next month FREE and after that month you call again and tell them you have
been having AOL signup trouble and they give you another month for free,,and on
and on and onn,,, They keep giving you new cards on their pop up ads..


AOL FREE or FREE acess from your library

Thomas Buddy,
is that what this is all about,
saving 20 bucks,
by cheating your isp,
something better to do,
with time?
more prosperous ventures,
to pursue?
is that really worth it,
is there any value added,
to being a citizen,
to being a member
of society,
is there any value
in that,
is there any value
in contributing,
to the greatest boom
in history,
is there any value
in paying taxes,
is there any value
in giving to society......
