Our computer is working...
It probably won't be by the time I'm done with this sentence.
I was wrong.
It hasn't really worked for the last two weeks. Our company has told us a couple of times that it'd work fine tomorrow...and yet tomorrow has come and gone.
It's working now, but I'd bet $1 that it won't by the time Annie tries it.
It's hard to blog when your computer doesn't work.
People keep asking if Annie's checking her e-mail (I can at work). She's checking it...it's just not available. It's funny how quickly the computer has become a "must have".
I think we spend so much money on stuff because we've decided that cell phones, home computers, second cars, spare bedrooms and summer vacations are - needs, and not wants.
I've heard that in the early 1950's the average house was the size of a three car garage. I don't think I know anybody that lives in a house that small.
We pay money so that our phones ring with cool songs. We pay for a cell phone that we can talk with when we're bored by the song on the radio and on our 2,000 song ipods. We spend hundreds of dollars a month on fun stuff that wasn't available to even our parents, when they were our age. kids are starving on the other side of the world. I just read that there is enough food in supply right now for everyone to eat 3,000 calories a day. Most food labels are based on a 2,000 calorie a day diet. I wonder what would happen if we all ate in for a week and gave away the extra money to folks who haven't eaten anything in a week?
Not sure how I got off on that tangent...I guess the point here is that my computer isn't working and I'll probably never even get to post this.
Post it you did and you made really good points.
