Yep, My Inner Old Lady Came Busting Out!

Lord have Mercy!  I was going crazy without my internest access!   Not only did I miss my little daily coffee breaks reading all of your blogs, but I just can't function without it!    Hubby is moving his main work space into his home office and then changing locations for his client meeting offices so that required that  he network our home computers together....install a router....and a bunch of other stuff that neither one of us understand.     Not only did we feel the ultimate in stupid, cuz let's face it, we can point and click with the best of 'em but that's about it for the both of us.   So when the internet company who shall go nameless, decided to torture us with the 20 gazillion options on How To Get My Blinkin' Computer To Work my inner Old Lady came out....

"Why, when I was a youngun they ran the whole dang US of A with a notepad and a sharp #2 pencil, they sure did.   We didn't need none of that fancy high tech stuff you modern kids need nowadays.   And if a #2 pencil was good enough for the president of the U-nited States, well than it's good enough for me, and don't you forget it mister."

I've since changed my mind!

I couldn't renew my library books so I racked up enough fines to pay off the national debt.....twice!

I couldn't reorder my Blockbuster video rentals so I kept getting Bob The Builder movies instead of grown up movies.    I caught my husband balancing the check book the other day and singing, "Can We Fix It?   Yes We Can!"

After cooking approximately 13,140 meals in the last 12 years of marriage (and yes I actually calculated that)  I MUST use Meals.com to come up with something fresh and exciting.   Therefore without the use of my computer I was all messed up.   We ate pancakes for dinner, more soup and sandwiches than I ever care to admit, and if I even look at Top Ramen again, I think I'm going to scream!  

So I will be the first to admit that I can't function at full capacity without being connected to the World Wide Web.  

Is there an internet-anonymous group out there somewhere?

While I'm not a huge fan of technology, I am a HUGE fan of the internet. I don't have a cell phone or call waiting or a lot of the gadgetry that is such a part of nowadays, but my life would be completely different without my computer! Just this weekend my husband was cleaning the keyboard with cotton swabs and alcohol and he had one of the keys off. I came in the room and saw the keyboard (he was away from the desk) and I went to find him and said, as casually as I could, "Um, honey... are you just cleaning the keyboard or is there... something... wrong... with the computer?" I was quite relieved to learn the former and have realized that I just need to succumb to this addiction and get on with it! :)

I'm addicted to Internet shopping. It's not like I always buy something... but I've got full shopping carts all over cyberspace. I feel like an old lady sometimes too. I know nothing about mp3 players or tivo or what's on TV. SO I'm always the one clueless about new technology. ~Karlie

YAH!!! I bet you're so glad to be in touch again. Now you have no excuse to not email me when I'm on my lonely island.

I often wonder what I did for hours a day when I didn't have a computer.....shiver.....

Glad you are up and running again. I've missed reading yoru blog. I really hate to admit how much I NEED my computer. Yes, I do believe it is a need. I know former generations did just fine, but I am personally very glad to be connected to the WWW.

Yeah, I really am not sure how I managed before the internet. Jeremy forgot his cell phone at his sister's house once (one hour away) and it was complete panic meltdown here. :-)
