It is so integrated into my daily life at this point that I'm sure I'd find it distressing. <br /><br />I mean...I can go without blogs and Facebook and all of that (and believe it or not I do, periodically) but I use it to know whether my bus is on time, where to go eat in a particular neighborhood, how late a store is open, what movies are playing, how to properly cook the strange vegetable that came in the CSA box, to send my mom flowers on Mother's Day, etc., etc...<br /><br />I know people got along fine with timetables, newspapers, phonebooks, and cookbooks, but I'm just not used to it...plus I hate paper clutter...Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06799024060528185282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2540360308013071801.post-60291039859523956672010-09-29T13:13:00.485-05:002010-09-29T13:13:00.485-05:00flask - not really.

I wouldn't have met you or realized that Scientology was evil.<br /><br />But I also get irritated with the Internet when it won't let me comment on your blog, like it did yesterday. Let's try this again... in case it works, know that I hate it when people text when I'm talking to them, too.
