I hope everything goes well and you are "out and about" for the holidays. I am sure there is someone in the PM Club who will give you some really good advice.

I do not know anything about your original post, but just had to share with you that you are not the only one a lil' "pre"-occupied when involved with a PM. LOL ~

I had driven about 230 miles about 3 weeks after my first PM implant. My first "biggee" since my implant. I went to a local store and tried to pay with my debit card, as usual. I tried my pin number twice and the clerk tried it also. After arriving where I was going and doing a lil' "research", I embarrassed myself! I was using my property gate security code instead of my bank pin number for my debit card! How stoopid did I feel?

Have wonderful, great Holidays, Carolyn G. in TEXAS ( :

Not sure what it would be like, but you should ask if they can put your internet connection via the wireless gateway. :) may as well have the insurance pay for your internet. lol

Im home and im doing well.As far as a wifi it is not what Micheal thinks it is.It down loads to a box via wireless signals.Then it sends the info by the telephone line.
Im lucky to get my insurance to pay for anything. Im glad my post gave you a opening for a cheesy joke Michael! IBut you have a bless day! And I am glad I helped to put a smile on your face!! LOL

You know you're wired when...

You’re officially battery-operated.
