Could you live without the internet for one week? - crafters_corner - 15-12-2021 Baie beslis Most definitely RE: Could you live without the internet for one week? - Lilith7 - 15-12-2021 Yep, not fun but I could if need be.

RE: Could you live without the internet for one week? - Oh_hunnihunni - 15-12-2021 No. Don't even suggest such a catastrophe. Gods, it'd be like giving up wine again. RE: Could you live without the internet for one week? - crafters_corner - 15-12-2021 I have a feeling that you've escaped the home for the perpetually bewildered again. You seem to be in a very disagreeable mood. I'm waiting for the explosion. There's already been a murder today in my town, so what's a looney old lady on her scooter, being disagreeable to all and sundry, capable of. *shakes head, nods, raises eyebroww and sighs* RE: Could you live without the internet for one week? - king1 - 15-12-2021 ummm No... RE: Could you live without the internet for one week? - Oh_hunnihunni - 15-12-2021 I was very well behaved at the hospital. Only whinged a little bit, though I was tempted to give the nurse shoving my boobs around during the ECG a sharp little horse bite on the knee. I could see she was jealous of my abundance but that thumb on the sensitive bit was a bit much...

RE: Could you live without the internet for one week? - Oh_hunnihunni - 15-12-2021 I have a thing about being touched by strangers, even with good excuses, so the blood pressure reading afterwards was a bit high, lol... RE: Could you live without the internet for one week? - crafters_corner - 15-12-2021 ÔÇ£While conducting some business at the Courthouse, I overheard a lady, who had been arrested for assaulting a Mammogram Technician, say, ÔÇ£Your Honor, IÔÇÖm guilty butÔǪ..there were extenuating circumstances.ÔÇØ The female Judge said, sarcastically, ÔÇ£IÔÇÖd certainly like to hear those extenuating circumstances.ÔÇØ I did too so I listened as the lady told her story. ÔÇ£Your Honor, I had a mammogram appointment, which I actually kept. I was met by this perky little clipboard carrier smiling from ear to ear and she tilted her head to one side and crooned, ÔÇ£Hi! IÔÇÖm Belinda! All I need you to do is step into this room right here, strip to the waist, then slip on this gown. Everything clear?ÔÇØ IÔÇÖm thinking, ÔÇ£Belinda, try decaf. This ainÔÇÖt rocket science.ÔÇØ Belinda then skipped away to prepare the chamber of horrors. With the right side finished, Belinda flipped me (literally) to the left and said, ÔÇ£Hmmmm. Can you stand on your tippy toes and lean in a tad so we can get everything?ÔÇØ Fine, I answered. I was freezing, bruised, and out of air, so why not use the remaining circulation in my legs and neck to finish me off? My body was in a holding pattern that defied gravity (with my other breast wedged between those two 4 inch pieces of square glass) when I heard and felt a zap! Complete darkness, the power was off! Belinda said, ÔÇ£Uh-oh, maintenance is working, bet they hit a snag.ÔÇØ Then she headed for the door. ÔÇ£Excuse me! YouÔÇÖre not leaving me in this vise alone are you?ÔÇØ I shouted. Belinda kept going and said, ÔÇ£Oh, you fussy puppyÔǪthe doorÔÇÖs wide open so youÔÇÖll have the emergency hall lights. IÔÇÖll be right back.ÔÇØ Before I could shout NOOOO! She disappeared. And thatÔÇÖs exactly how Bubba and Earl, ÔÇ£maintenance men ExtraordinaireÔÇØ found meÔǪhalf-naked with part of me dangling from the Jaws of Life and the other part smashed between glass! After exchanging a polite Hi, howÔÇÖs it going type greeting, Bubba (or possibly Earl) asked, to my utter disbelief, if I knew the power was off. Trying to disguise my hysteria, I replied with as much calmness as possible, ÔÇ£Uh, yes, I did but thanks anyway.ÔÇØ ÔÇ£OK, you take care nowÔÇØ Bubba replied and waved good-bye as though IÔÇÖd been standing in the line at the grocery store. Two hours later, Belinda breezes in wearing a sheepish grin. Making no attempt to suppress her amusement, she said, ÔÇ£Oh I am sooo sorry! The power came back on and I totally forgot about you! And silly me, I went to lunch. Are we upset?ÔÇØ And that, Your Honor, is exactly how her head ended up between the clampsÔǪ.ÔÇØ The judge could hardly contain her laughter as she said ÔÇ£Case DismissedÔÇØ. RE: Could you live without the internet for one week? - Oldfellah - 16-12-2021 I could maybe live without the internet for a week (shudder) but certainly not a fibre connection as that runs my landline and my TV. RE: Could you live without the internet for one week? - Oh_hunnihunni - 16-12-2021 Heavens yes, I would be limited to books, knitting, housework, gardening, and attacking passers by. Life would be miserable. Still, at least I would still have wine.

Funny but not funny. Nah, it's funny aye.lol RE: Could you live without the internet for one week? - Zurdo - 16-12-2021 I'd have to go out of the house and abuse people in person...and then they'd see me for the gutless weakling I am and laugh at me. So, no I can't do without it. I'd actually have to go to the library in person to get books. I haven't turned a page in years...well a year anyway. Love the E Library...but the real one is pretty damn good too.

So, no I can't do without it.And proper books are good for you, too; they use a different pathway in the brain & if we just read screen text it can change the way we're able to read. RE: Could you live without the internet for one week? - Oh_hunnihunni - 16-12-2021 A book is an object. A real thing. I have enough screens, I could not live happily without pages to turn. RE: Could you live without the internet for one week? - Lilith7 - 16-12-2021 Plus, books don't need recharging.... RE: Could you live without the internet for one week? - an amniote - 16-12-2021 Absolutely - but only if there no internet available to tempt me. I waste far too much time online. Heavens, I'd finish or even start all the books I've bought in the last couple of years! I might even leave the house for reasons other than work and grocery shopping! |
