Do you remember the things you did when you first started using the Web and how it has changed your life?
I only remember using the web for e-mail and IM'ing friends. My sister helped me create my first e-mail account, which was a yahoo account, so we could stay in touch while she was away at college. I still keep in touch with all of my family through e-mail and IM daily.
Have you ever had this happen:
CO-WORKER: "You know Lindy?"
ME: "Uh..."
CO-WORKER: "Lindy...Lindy!"
ME: "No, I don't believe so."
CO-WORKER: "Come on, you know Lindy."
ME: "No, I don't."
CO-WORKER: "Lindy...cute girl, always carries a backpack?"
ME: "Dude! I've never known anyone named Lindy in my entire life!"
CO-WORKER: "Oh...well...I saw her today."
What the heck is that about????
Have you ever been typing along, paying close attention to the page you're copying like we were all taught in school, and glance up at your screen to find out that somehow the cursor has jumped up into the middle of the previous paragraph and you have an entire section of text that doesn't belong there?
Have you ever done that?
Seriously!
How the heck does that happen??
It's a complete mystery to me.
Help me out here.
I really need to know.
I have come to the conclusion that, in my life anyway, success is measured by how many "guys" I have.
You know what I'm talking about.
"Your dishwasher stopped working? I'll call my guy."
"Your bank account's messed up? I'll call my bank guy."
I've got a yard guy, tile guy, paint guy, car guy, IT guy, carpet guy, plumbing guy, electrical guy...
The only problem is...everyone has those guys!
But, what if I had some really unusual guys?
Like, "Oh, you're stranded in Mozambique? Sit tight, I'll call my guy."
"You're stuck in a drainage pipe? Hang on, I'll call my guy."
"You're being attacked by a what? Oh, a Panther? No prob, I'll call my big cat guy."
Compete with that!!
Here's the way this works, people...the one with the most "guys" wins.
Am I right about this, or what?
Attention Summerlin Hospital.
Thank you for advertising your hospital on TV. In the event of an emergency I was originally planning on going to the one five minutes from my house, but now I'm definitely planning on going the extra 20 miles to yours instead!!!
Sincerely yours...
well...really only dreaming until I arrive there mid-day tomorrow. Goodbye US. Hello Costa Rica. What a way to spend Thanksgiving!
For the first few days, my view will be of Volcano Arenal and Lake Arenal.
and exploring the Monteverde Cloud Forest...
...in hopes of seeing some of my favorite animals on the planet.
Going to try and get in some scuba diving and I may just give surfing a shot. Who knows!?! At this point, we have no plans. Just a completely open slate - with nothing to do but relax and enjoy ourselves. If this isn't heaven, I don't know what is.
