Congrats to...Denise,<BR/>Thanks so much for being here! Congrats to Karin on her win - you're gonna love MEANT TO BE!!<BR/><BR/>My daughters have a difficult time imagining that we had a "party line" until I was 14, meaning we shared a phone line with several other neighbors. I think I was about the same age when my parents bought our first color television -even harder for them to believe! Not to mention that we only had three channels, maybe four if PBS chose to come in clearly - no remote either! You had to actually get up to change the channel! We've come a long way, baby!<BR/><BR/>Robyn, I love my cell phone and text as much as I chat on it these days, but initially it was purchased for "emergencies" - thankfully there haven't been many in the 11 or so years we've had cell phones.<BR/><BR/>Angie-la, I definitely had more time for housework, crafts, etc. before the internet and all of the social (reading) circles I've gotten involved with - but I love them all so much that I don't know how I could go back to not having them. <BR/><BR/>Arkiern - you hit the nail on the head - we are absolutely lost at work if we don't have the power to run all of the wonderful technology we have! If it doesn't work, you're left practically helpless.<BR/><BR/>Thanks to everyone for stopping - I'm certain that you've all enjoyed Denise being here just as much as I have!Laurie D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01289552754226408534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26347544.post-13363832274532505852008-09-30T23:40:00.000-05:002008-09-30T23:40:00.000-05:00Again, a hearty thank you to Laurie for having me ...Again, a hearty thank you to Laurie for having me here as a guest blogger.

He showed up in the last few minutes of the first episode of this season. Val's song Darling Denise is on my My Space page for those of you who didn't know...check it out! It's a neat song.<BR/><BR/>Denise A. AgnewDenise A.

By the time I was a senior in high school we were doing all of our presentations using Powerpoint.<BR/><BR/>As for my cell phone, I don't use it all that often. Mostly it's calls between my parents and I, usually my mom checking when I'll be coming home for lunch. And, while most people text a lot now, the only person I text is a friend of mine who lives out of state and that's the easiest way we can connect. <BR/><BR/>Blackberry is definitely Crackberry. There's a reason I refuse to get one. My brother uses his all the time but made sure to leave it off when we were on our trip to Russia in August. He only brought it so we would have an alarm in the morning so we wouldn't miss our bus.Karinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00507549045262003945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26347544.post-82193677624670803552008-09-30T09:39:00.000-05:002008-09-30T09:39:00.000-05:00Cherie,Oh, I am TOTALLY spoiled by high speed inte...Cherie,<BR/><BR/>Oh, I am TOTALLY spoiled by high speed internet.

Of course, there are plenty of "young folk" out there who never have lived without it, so they don't have anything to compare to. I feel old sometimes because I can remember life before personal computers, before cell phones...hell, I even remember when we had a rotary dial phone. SNICKER.<BR/><BR/>Denise A. AgnewDenise A.
