Life without the interweb

September 16, 2008

So I don’t blog anymore, well I didn’t for a month….and you know what I discovered? I can survive! Not only did I not blog, but I didn’t have the interweb. It was weird at first, I didn’t know what to do with my free time, I felt lost. Soon I started to go for walks with the dog, I worked in the yard and I slept A LOT. After the first few days it started to get easier, so much so that when the Comcast guy came over to fix the interweb, I didn’t even care. Now I have the problem of not knowing where to start on the interweb. What websites did I used to look at? How did I fill so much time online? These days I get online for 10 minutes and am done, there is nothing more to see.

Now time for a somewhat amusing story. I taught a 40 year-old lady how to tell time. At work every 20 minutes we change positions so you don’t get tired or are not in a crappy spot all night and I noticed she would never start “rotation.” So I said to her “Jane Doe, you need to start rotation every 20 minutes.” Jane said, “Is that on the 1, 2, 3, or 4?” I was freaking confused so I said “Rotate on 20, 40 and on the hour.” She said, and I am not making this up “There is no 20 or 40 on the clock.” So a few hours later I was in a place where we could talk and not be overheard and I asked “do you know how to read an analog clock?” She said “no, I’ve tried, but people make fun of me.” So I spent 20 minutes teaching her how to tell time.

I went to Chippendales and the Price is Right! If you want to hear how it ended, and it ended funny you have to buy a Happenings coupon book from my nephew. Email me at airvent 1 at yahoo dot com and I will send you their phone number. He has to have orders in by Tuesday, so act now. If no one buys a Happenings Coupon book I will never blog again. I went a month without blogging I can just as easily delete the damn blog. This is a threat people! The book is $20, but I will pitch in a few dollars since I am pushing this on you. I will also deliver the book to you. Did I mention my nephew is the cutest damn kid in the world? Yeah so email me! (Offer not valid in Texas or Nebraska.)

Peace

    OMG. You ARE alive. I agree that the interweb is a HUGE waste of time. Other than e-mailing my family, checking friends blogs and paying bills(which I try to do from work-LOL) I try not to be a junkie. And, as much as I am dying to hear about your ventures with Chippendales and The Price is Right, I already bought a happenings book and am not buying another one. SORRY! I’ll have to wait until your next party when you are drunk enough to share I guess. That was SO very Jeff of you to help that lady learn how to tell time. I MISS YOU!!!

    I thought you were dead. Was so convinced of it, I had most of your stuff on eBay already. Now I’m going to get a lot of negative feedback. Super.

    And that is very cool you taught her how to read a clock. Very cool.

    i think i finally figured out who you are now that you are back at the farm…. that was a nice thing to teach someone [jane doe, ha!] how to tell time, especially since you waited and didn’t embarass her ~ it was a really nice thing!

    JEFFFFFFFFFFFFF!!

    It’s about freaking time!

    I’m glad you got your good deed in for the month on top of bonding with your dog. I need to correct something, it’s been TWO MONTHS since you posted. Believe me, I’d know.

    And I’ll buy a dang happenings book.

    Hurray!! You are back!! That was nice to teach that gal to tell time. It was only a couple of years ago I realized my sons couldn’t tell time on a clock with hands. Stupid digital clocks ruined my children!!

    Rotation every 20… I remember those days. Ha! I would always be bs-ing and miss the time, then everyone would be all pissed and I would just laugh and start singing at the top of my lungs. Gotta love it.
