Things We take For Grantited


Have you ever notice you dont realize how much you adapt to somthing until you dont have it anymore.....

For example.....

You dont know how much you miss running water until the waterline breaks and you have to take a KAAAKAH.

You dont realize how much you need a phone until a construction worker accidently cuts the line digging a ditch..

You dont know how much you miss electricity until wind or some drunken person hit the power pole....

and lastly.......you dont know how relient you become on high speed internet until you fire the cable company because they have raised your rates beyond what you can afford and you go back to 44baud .......well that has been me for 6 weeks and in three days I will be back to DSL.......I have missed much Internet content in the past weeks like live feeds from CSPAN and many of the artisticly funny animated features tha many talented people have created during the last weeks before the elections.....I cant wait to have a better connection to listen to AAR.

The other thing I miss when it's gone is Contact
