OT, Top Posted purposely WebK,
Sounds like you're just getting used to the experience of 24/7 pain life and I think I even see the verbosity of your meds there too. Been there, doing that too, in fact. For me it's skeletal and tissue disease, but same difference; debilitating pain. Patience, perseverance and a purposly good attitude will see you through it. And you get used to it, believe it or not! No response exptected; just a short note. Also, please post to newsgroups in Plain Text mode, not HTML. It saves bandwidth and in some cases makes posts much easier for people to read. Cheers, Twayne > James Knott wrote: > fiorenz...@alice.it wrote: > > I downloaded Open Office 3.0 version. I like it.
