My mother would have been so jealous! Anyway, I wrote to you about an Electric bill of 2000. Do not be alarmed any more; this was a 4 month bill, they informed me when I called to complain. That means I pay onlly 500 per month, not low but acceptable. I did some checking, and found that there is a miniscule amt. of electric juice flowing out when I think I have pulled all the plugs out; that will have to be checked. 2: Guests: we are actually letting some strangers use a room or two in the near future, so I feel justified in making another request: our family of about 4 is looking for rooms to sleep in in the south ( Mizpeh Ramon area) with or without pay ( exchanging places) for AUG 16 AND SO ON. 3 BURNERS: Are software companies cutting back? Used to be you could easily download burning software like Nero. Now, my Nero stopped working, and when I down loaded supposedly 'free downloads' of Nero STARTSMART and "Express Burn' they only worked for a few wekks and then stuck out their hands for cash. I don't mind paying but I'm scared to send my credit card info into thin air. PS: even when I get the burner to work, i have a lot of difficulty producing the 'disk jacket': the list of songs on the CD. Hoffesh Tof, and my comiseration to all the 5 point markers.
