Sawry, 1 didn't hafe internet for a few days, dve to a payment 1 seems to hafe done too late. 1t was only 2 hovrs late, so it seems. Life is rovgh and vnfair, becavse of the crisis, also here in the 'Netherlands'. Well, thats what ovr gofernment want to make vs beliefe really. The treasvre mvst be oferloaded, becavse the gofernment throws money, they 'borrowed' from vs, the people, away. They decided to rebvild Afghanistan together with Germany. The Germans, 9 x bigger, 7 x more inhabitants, say: "We don't hafe enovgh money" The Dvtch gofernment says: "That's allright, we pay 60%!" This covntry is 'tax mayhem'. We pay too mvch tax for gas, hovsing, lifing, healthy food, money, safings, bike, car, energy, debts etc etc When we hafe a debt, and paying too late, we hafe to pay almost dovbled back. They don't care really, bvt hafing debts here is inefitable. There are jvst no rvles abovt it, so they jvst charge for whatefer they think is reasonable. 1 had a tax refvnd. 1t wasn't mvch thovgh, only 40% of what they really hafe to pay me, bvt enovgh to pay 40% of my bills. Later 1 heard on the telly, it was for some a mistake. Too bad for them, i jvst spend it all.. rofl We don't life in the Netherlands any more, we life in Taxes... If Obama efer needs money... The Dvtch has it! Yesterday, 1 was on the phone with the internet profider, most of the day. Mostly waiting, thovgh. 1 told them abovt they payment 1 made. They looked in their compvters, yes, they got it. How long before 1 am connected again. Before nightfall yes, he said. After 6pm 1 called again, same qvestion. Their compvter can only correct the connection, when the other compvter has processed the payment yov made, she said. 1 go, bvt the gvy 1 talked to earlier, promised before nightfall. She goes, my apology. This morning, at dawn, 1 was reconnected. Not qvite thovgh, bvt 1 covld svrf for 2 minvtes *grin* Now 1 do, fery speedy again. 60Mbit/sec glasfiber stuff. Covld do 2x faster thovgh, bvt being an artist doesn't pay that well lately. As long as 1 can pay for life, 1 am okay, 1 gvess. My apology for whining, nagging or whatefer. 1 hafen't said anything for 2 days... Long life the digital world, with all its bvgs! BTW We are number ONE, we hafe the highest rate in the world for paying gas. Aren't we honored!?! It has nothing to do with this design, of covrse. Jvst a little, it takes vs away from reality, that soothing piece of life. That's what we artists hafe as a prifilege, we can vse ovr creatifity to dream away... What am 1 doing? 1 should be happy! 1ts Erik's, my oldest son, birthday. Today he turned 18! WOW! Time goes fast. Soon he will hafe his own drifers license, ask me for the car. As long as he pays the gas he vsed, doesn't drink and doesn't make any trovble with it, it shovld be okay, 1 reckon. Good day *HVGS* CUTIE PIE
