Who Woulda?
Who woulda thought? Who woulda thought I'd be in the 21st century up to my eyeballs in electronics? Not me. It all started about 6 years ago when Vickie brought me her daughter's old computer. Told her didn't want it. Wouldn't use it. She said to check out the internet. I said no way. I didn't like computers and had heard about the nerds that stayed on the internet all the time. Said that wasn't for me. Uh-huh. She said to keep it anyway. That she and I and Sara could keep in touch my email. Well, that was a reason to keep it. I'd gotten into genealogy, so I started looking into that on the internet. Now, I can't stay off the computer. That was it till this year. No more gadgets. This year things got out of hand. First, it was a cell phone. It was for my health. I have wierd working and sleeping hours and the landline phone was driving me crazy and making me lose sleep. With the cell phone, I could ignore the landline. Only my relatives, bosses, landlord, and doctors have my cell phone number. It has a strange ring that I can't ignore. Funny, I'm on my second one of them. Then it was a DVD player because all the rental movies were going to DVD. No player,,,no movies. That's all I needed. No more. Then this trip came up. Sara got the ticket on the internet and I'll get my boarding pass there too. Scared to fly so I decided I need something to relax me,,,,music,,,,soothing music. Can't take a cassette or CD player. Too big. MP3 Player. That's the ticket. Figured out how to download the music this weekend. And now, I'm sitting here with a computer medical I.D. bracelet on my wrist. What else can I get? Can't think of anything. Thank God! Guess I'm in the 21st century whether I want to be or not.
