Seeking Dreamwidth Points

My paid account at Dreamwidth will be expiring in 2 weeks.  That's what allows me to do cool things like the reader polls.  So if anyone would like to help support the blog by sending me Dreamwidth points that I can use to extend my account, that would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks!

Update to "Ysabet is offline" -- possible time frame

Just talked with Ysabet's partner. Looks like BEST CASE scenario is about two weeks until they have a new internet provider.  It could be longer depending on weather conditions.

Their former ISP -- their rural electric co-op -- apparently made the decision to stop being an ISP back in February, before the world shut down.

I encourage you to keep commenting on yesterday's "Good News" post. If Ysabet is still offline next Wednesday, I'll post a new "Hard Things."
