Is the internet really that wonderful?

Well I mean honestly, is it?

Porn is readily available for anyone of any age to see. Pedophiles use it as a virtual playground to find new victims. Adults use websites to prey on the vulnerabilities of young children leading them to suicide. People use it as a means to hide anonymously, say things they never would have the audacity to say to another human being face to face. Insurance companies use it to remove benefits. Oh yeah even that last one is true. Check It

I have been watching Family Guy and I have found that I actually like it, in a sick twisted kind of way. I usually just watch the reruns on Adult Swim, The Spot Cartoon Network or online at legal sources only. I have also managed to get hooked on Ghost Whisperer not even really sure how but I did. NCIS is still on my radar although I haven't watched an episode since the premier. I have them all sitting on my DVR, I will eventually get to them.

I managed to make my first set of Christmas purchases on Friday. I utilized the internet and did some online shopping. My mother and I will be making the voyage to the place that has everything tomorrow. I am not happy about it, but it has to be done. While I was in my basement sifting through the 'Christmas crap' as I call it, and made an executive decision. I am going to buy a new Christmas tree, the one I have is 8 years old. The lights are shot as they are 8 years old also. I have been looking online and the dreaded place has those also for a good price...pre-lit tree here I come. I am all about simplicity.

I think that about covers it for this blog, thanks for reading everyone. In the off chance I don't blog again before Thanksgiving, have a great holiday!! Be safe and remember don't drink and drive.

Ok guys I am gonna jet, I have lots to do. Enjoy!!

Later Taters!!

Stu...

Hi Stu!!! I read that story about the woman and that her Facebook page caused her to lose her insurance and disability benefits. That is just wrong. I can't get into Ghost Whisperer. Thanks to the wonderful thing called the internet I have all of my Christmas shopping done and didn't have to deal with lines, cashiers that don't want to be at work and people that are angry that they have to stand in line. Also, this is the first year that I have had all my shopping done before Christmas eve. Yay!!! Good luck and the evil store that will not be named. Have a happy and safe Thanksgiving.

Hi Stu!! I saw an ad on TV here for a Christmas tree that maintains the shape year after year...no duct tape patching and such. Have a great Thanksgiving..are you doing the deep fried turkey thing again this year? I can feel my arteries clogging just thinking about it...

Any good thing can be used for evil purposes--not just the net. I love this site--you need to use the Internet to get here. There's good and bad in everything.

Scott - That was a bad deal with that woman, however if she was being less than honest...she had it coming. Yeah I feel pity and shame about Ghost Whisperer. Yes yes I love the internet, I also do shopping that way...the less I spend in the evil store the better off I am. lol You have a happy and safe Thanksgiving too.





Mari - That sounds like my kind of tree, with the kids already pestering me I need to make a decision soon. The deep fried turkey is a no for this Thanksgiving, however I think we will for Christmas. You have a great Thanksgiving too.





Sesho - I agree, if there were no evil people in the world life would be much easier. Without the internet I would not have this site or the wonderful people here. Be safe this Thanksgiving.

From my understanding of what was on the local new here the pictures were almost 3 years old. She just added them to her profile. But who knows a vacation in Hawaii can do a lot!

Scott - Sounds like a crappy deal...although just goes to prove big brother is always watching.

Facebook makes people stupid. Several employees at my place of work have been caught out, posting items about great holidays (with pictures) taken while they are supposedly off sick or at a funeral. It seems that, in the case you cite, the fraudster's pictures warranted further investigation by her insurer, who was able to establish that she was no longer ill. Good for her insurer: knocking out the fraudulent claims helps keep insurance premiums down.

Well without the internet we wouldn't be able to do a lot of things so I think we just need to take the good with the bad. Even little things like being able to see my local tennis league tables is something that couldn't be done without the internet. A shop that sells everything is pefect, it means you only need to go to one place!

TOB - Right you are. Although if I was basking on a beach in a bikini and sipping a margarita I might be happier too. It is the dishonest that messes everything up for the people who do the right thing. I know when I get an application I run their name through: Missouri CaseNet, MySpace and Facebook. Week out the riff-raff in a hurry.





Dan - I'm spoiled by the internet, it makes me lazy...yes I admit. Plus it gives me something to do. Maybe I need an intervention... lol

Have a great Thanksgiving, Studog. I'm not driving far, so I think I'll be safe.

Yo Stef! I am like an old person and think the Internet sucks a lot sometimes...people are so lazy now! No one calls their friends...they Facebook message and crap. People don't go to stores to buy things if they don't want to, and they sometimes replace TV or video games with their computer. Yuck! But how's everything else been goin lately, good I hope! And oh yeah, all the kids will think you are super cool if you like Family Guy! Haha good choice!
