Well, here I am online again. I HAVE found a way to do this internet thing. Actually, I'm going with the library internet setup. I don't want to have to pay the measly $19 a month to set up a dail-up account. Then again, I don't want to have to deal with dial-up either.
Is it just me, or am I being stingy? I'm stingy when I try to buy food, and when I go clothes shopping, although that is a rare occasion. Yup, I hardly ever go clothes shopping. The truth of it is that I am more than just a little cheap. It costs a lot just to keep my body going. That may sound strange, but it's true. And I'd rather not lower my fuel quality, so it seems I'm stuck in my thinking. BUT- I'm not stuck in fact. I just had an interview with a traffic control company and I'm planning to take a job there. It's $9 per hour and they reimburse you for the gas you buy. Sweet! And for those who don't have a car, or happen to live in the U.S., gas prices are up to $3.07 a gallon. As of the 14th, prices in the Netherlands were $7.75 a gallon. To see a table of depressing prices, click here: http://www.eia.doe.gov/emeu/international/gas1.html.
Anyway, now I have a way to use the internet. And I can probably stop here on my way home once I get a job. Living with my grandmother isn't too bad. I don't have to pay for anything but food. All I have to do is take out the trash and mow the lawn. I have been working on a shared garden in the backyard, though. So far we've planted some peas, spinach, and pole beans. And some tomatoes are on the way! For those of you who are tomato lovers, feel free to check back for info on that later in the season. I'm sure to have some post up later raving about how they're growing.
