Links |
A short but growing list of links to information much better than you find in my pages. Please check out these links and spend a lot of time on the Internet for additional information. I am amazed at the quantity of information available online. I should not be so amazed as I have learned so much in a couple of years that I never suspected existed. I see from letters and articles that others have learned the same things and have published them. |

Internet Access |
The Internet is your primary contact with the outside world. The one communication skill that you do not want to leave behind. |
Paying Bills, Security |
Checking, Banking, Credit Cards, etc. need to follow your lifestyle. If you count on the post office, you will be paying late fees. |
