Dial-Up Still Exists?

Where, oh where do I start?

We moved into our short term rental back in August. We were disappointed to hear that our high-speed internet carrier did not provide service to this address but figured we could get by- you know, using Blackberries and borrowing a moment of internet here or there from someone broadcasting.

I know, I know, it was wrong to borrow someone's internet without their permission. We assumed it was acceptable to borrow, otherwise they would have put a security password on it, right?

So when I say that we could only borrow it for a moment here or there what I meant was that the connection would usually fail about ten minutes after you got online.

My husband decided that we would no longer rely on someone else to provide our internet. We would get dial-up.

Can you believe that you can get dial-up for only five bucks a month? Me either! I want to know why they are even charging five bucks for this! Why isn't it just free? It is going to take me all night just to blog this one flippin' post!

If you are in internet addict and are looking for a way to break your addiction, just buy dial- up. It will no doubt cure your addiction. You will get so frustrated you will just shut it off and watch re-runs of Deadliest Catch.

Don't be surprised if you see even less of me now than you saw before.

I'm laughing WITH you.

All kidding aside that totally stinks. I'm sorry.

Think of all the productive things you can do sans internet though....

And then let me know what they are.

I've *borrowed* other people's internet too in times of need. :)
