I'm Sorry about the popup ads on this page. This service is free but the new annoying popup ads are a way for the service provider to force upgrading to a "pay for service" option.
I would recommend that you look into popup killer software. You can find freeware software that can make surfing the web more enjoyable.

No stress, no weekends, and a little play money to keep me shopping (my favorite thing to do). | |||

I am not paranoid but have homes in Upper Michigan 30 miles from Canada, New Mexico 50 miles from Mexico and Elizabeth Colorado, just in case. I am proud to have known most of you. Don't lose the faith -- remember It is not a penny stock -- it's just under valued. Have often wondered why I didn't retire earlier since I am enjoying it sooo much. I do think working wouldn't be a bad thing -- It tends to keep me out of trouble, and my Lovely wife would appreciate the quality time. | |||

Recommendation: Get a free web email account from hotmail, yahoo or some other provider for your job hunting communications. This makes it easier for you continue to have access to email even if you decide to change Internet Service Providers. You can also use them to check your email while traveling, as long as you have access to the web. Local libraries usually have internet access that is available to the public. My Yahoo email works great when I visit my family across the US because they all have internet access.
