  • Remember the days before you got the Internet at home?

  • Before the Internet

    Before the Internet, my two children were small so I was more than busy with taking care of them, watching over them and running after them. They are exactly two and a half years apart so I was never bored, did I mention that we also had a puppy at the same time when my daughter was nine months and my son had just turned three. There wasn’t any time for the Internet. When we did get it, it was dial up and that was when they were in school so it wasn’t as gratifying as it is nowadays with DSL. Back then during the days of dial up, I didn’t have the patience to wait for the slow connection, I had only so much time to do everything that I needed to do while the kids were at school. Now that the kids don’t need me as much, I enjoy having the Internet because it provides a great vehicle for my writing, Plinky and WordPress.
