So this is what I’ve been doing the last few mornings:

Getting out of bed (after MT been bugging me for an hour or two), taking off PJ’s and putting on new clothes on my son (and my self) and then unlocked the front door and telling my son to run over to his grandparents house. It’s so great that he now is able to reach up to their door and open it himself! I watch him while he runs and make sure he’s inside their house before I’m having some minutes to my self, reading a little and taking a little trip out on the www. It’s a great way to start my day. And it’s great that my parents bond with MT in this way. And MT, he’s just loving it too :D

But I’m getting majorly frustrated by this dial up connection to the internet, not only do I hug my parents phone, but it’s also so slow that I sometimes use several minutes waiting for a page to load. Now I’m actually wondering if I’m going to pay for a broadband here. That way I can get on www whenever I want without worrying if they are going to use the phone or if someone is trying to call them and only get’s the busy signal. And, off course, I can do what I want so much faster (even with the slowest edition of broadband). Off course it will cost me some, but so do this dial up (I pay for it). And the best thing is that I’m able to read my favorite blogs and keep up with flickr, now I don’t even try to use flickr since it takes forever to load. And I ususally doesn’t read all the blogs I want to and certanly doesn’t comment as much as I want, for the same reason (takes forever to load page).

The cheapest version I’ve found is 300 Norwegian kroner or about $50.
Is it worth it?!?!

    Unfortunately, I don’t know if that’s worth it to you or not, as I don’t know your financial situation but I tell you what - dialup IS a pain! My goodness, I can hardly stand it when I have to do something on my parents’ computer or my in-laws’ computer. Flickr is really bad for slow loading times. I also rue the day that we do finally move out of her and get a house out in the country because where we live, once you leave the city limits, forget it, all you can get is dialup (or maybe cable for very expensive I don’t know). I love my DSL!! Good luck!
