Internet Hates A Pentium 3

I haven't been able to talk, write, or send anything, so I apologize for the lack of updates. My YouTube lags severely, so uploading videos onto it (my current comp even lacks the proper cable slots for my camera to plug into) is not gonna happen for a while. Messenger lags and freezes my computer. Indeed, I was halfway through a conversation with one old friend when my machine froze, and I had to turn it off right in the middle of my sentence.

I wanted to apologize to my family, and Aunt Laura, for my text message at the end of my vacation there.
I want to quickly vent off clues that give away the fact that it wasn't a plea for help, or even real.
1: No where in my message did I ask for help.
2: If I did indeed survive a crash down a ravine, where I landed upside down, chances are I wouldn't be able to text, let alone function.
3: My spelling, punctuation, and grammer were flawless. Hard to do on a cellphone when you're shaken up.
4: I would NEVER leave my father alive in a burning vehicle, no matter how mad I was at him.
5: The end of my message, I describe a bear rustling through the bush, and then trail off my message with a half-finished word, followed by a ... at the end.
However, the message sparked a series of actions, that, I regret to say, probably caused more than just a panic in our family members. I heard Rescue was summoned.
I'm sorry for having a sick, sad sense of humor, and I realize now that it was taken wrong, and has been very upsetting to you all. I can't make amends. I have woken up a little, and will not repeat my mistake. My dad told me my only mistake was in hitting the SEND button.

Moving on.
Tony is quitting Sherritt. His last day is next Friday.
Jamie is in horrendous pain. Her shoulder muscle is torn, and even though she takes an occasional day off, having just one or two days to heal isn't enough. It just gets re-injured at work, and isn't healing. So, she's taking two weeks off from work.
She's also frustrated with being stuck at the scaffolder yard all the time, sorting material. She's one of us, and doesn't get to work with the guys anymore. So frustrated in fact, that she might even be thinking of quitting herself.
Me, well... I'm low on funds, and am currently stuck there. My vacation cost me a little, for fuel and what-not, plus I'm paying off furniture that isn't even able to come out of the box yet: there's just no room. School will wait. I hope I don't give up on it.
So, I've been working, and little else. Mum is sore and tired, and just came back from a 2 day trip down to where my grandparents now live, I forget where. West of Calgary. She's upset from work, and might be thinking of quitting herself.
Pressure is on.

Let's see if this post gets through.
