Gaelikaa - May our journey together be only beginning!

Brighid - Sometimes I wonder where the phrase ‘eight hours sleep’ came from.

What fun times they were, and when they first opened up international dialling it was wonderful!

I've given up on getting more than 4 hours a night. My feeble mind just will not shut down for more than that. We had a party line when I was a kid, so no long distance calls. Love being able to talk to people from all over the world via the net. Someone who has trouble getting to sleep, and staying that way for any length of time, besides me.

Judy's right, on this blog, the comments are as interesting as the post. I love sleep myself, but I hate going to sleep because it is the time when the kids are asleep and I can read, go on the net - but I have to sleep because who will get up to send the kids to school? Besides, Yash doesn't like me being on the net at night for some reason - can't figure out why....... I’ve just been reading the comments.

Ever since the internet came into my life, first by cyber cafe and now at home, my life is so much richer. Home is only a ............keyboard away! I've got some terrific friends, the LBC gang, what more could I ask for? May the journey never end! I want my mother to get the internet so we can talk to each other, we’re presently using the phone.

I know, when I was stationed in Okinawa in 1968, we would be patched through ham radio operators to speak to our family in the US. We had to schedule ahead. I have only talked overseas on the phone one time. That was to my niece when she served in the Peace Corp at Niger, Africa. The internet is wonderful. I mean where else can you talk with someone from India, Ireland, Scotland and California at the same time!

Now it's not only clear as a bell but free! Amazing. We used to call home to England regularly and you’re right it was $7 for 3 minutes and the echo on the line barely allowed us to talk.
