hello all I would like to introduce myself formally.  I am not new to
this message base but for the most part been a lerker since I had no
way until now to read and reply off line and reading and replying
online was a real drag.  I am blind age 43 married wife is in a
wheelchair.  until  lasst june I worked 18 years for social security.
they made up some false charges as an excuse and fired me.  I have
drawn unemployment since then and the low life's even tried to stop me
from that.  I won my case at the merrit systems protection board in
atlanta last september but the low life"s even though the judge said
over and over again in her decission "the agency has failed to prove
their case" are still appealing it. I guess they think they can drive
me in to the ground and out on the street where I will say uncle.  I am
waiting the appeal results.  I can use the emotional support of this
group to get me through this.  My emotions have gone through a roller
coaster and several times I have given thought to "life termination" I
have been computing for 9 years or more and ran a bbs for about 8
years. if the finances get back to normal I plan to put up my bbs
again. I have sort of made myself a specialist of telecommunications so
if I can help anyone here let me know.  I am using pc pursuit and can
help folks with that too.  they have a special handicapped discount
where you get 90 hours for $30 a month. there are special programs to
help youwith the dialing chors too. I hope to get some mail from the
folks here.
