OT Dark ages

[Guest guest]

Hi Virg,

Not only are the ages dark, they are lots less expensive. Went to the

home of someone whose house I'm watching to remove their cable box and

return it. They pay $500 + every 2 months. What the heck are they

getting? Transmissions from Mars? Apparently it was every channel

known to human kind as well as high speed internet and all that.

There is nobody who needs to be in contact with me 24/7, and I don't

want to be annoyed anyway, so no cell phone. People look at me like I'm

from another planet when I mention not having a cell phone. " but you get

free long distance " At $50 a month, it's not free. I use calling cards

that give me 2 or 3 cents a minute calls. There are several ways to save

bundles, but most folks don't know about it. Or care.

Indeed, the non technical ages.

On the other hand, we both have cochlear implants which are the

cutting edge of technology. So I guess we do have one foot in the 21st

century. I watch TV when the Cleveland Browns have an away game. I work

the home games. So my TV is on maybe 10 hours a year. But I put on my

CI when I get up and it's on all the time I'm awake. Choose your

technologies!

, it's good to know that there is one other person in the world

living in the dark ages <g>.
