Family Joins Blogging Nation

I cannot believe that my dad has joined the blogging movement. One sister at Holy Crap We Had Twins started the movement. I think another sister had a blog for awhile. I'll have to ask her if it's current. I'm back to blogging going on 1.5 months now.

And now my parents have joined. They can be found at Mort2008. This is be a blog about their new puppy, Mort, fishing on the Mighty Mississippi River, living on the Mighty Mississippi River, bald eagles(which they see year round out of their front window) and other general news.

If I have my way, my dad will be totally immersed in the Technology Age!

Thanks for stopping by.

Who Knew!?!

This summer has been a series of "Who Knew?" situations.

1. Who knew that German-Short Hair Pointer could get a sunburn? That 3 types of dogs are susceptable to sunburns: German-Short Hair Pointers, Dalmations, and Pit Bulls apparently. We have always had labradors (Black, Chocolate and Yellow) and now that we have a German-Short Hair Pointer, we never even realized that he could get a sunburn. The poor little dog!
2. Who knew that there was such a thing as a limit on the amount of uploads and downloads you can have when using WildBlue Satellite Internet Access.
   
3. Who knew that when letting your 10 year old son go online onto Nick.com, he would decide to stream tv shows? Hmmm, apparently that takes a lot of download power!
   

When I went online tonight, it was as slow as molasses. I checked our router....ok. Then I went into my account and yeap, the download information was in the red. We are allowed 7500 MB on a rolling 30 day period and we're up to 7669MB in the last 30 day period.

No more blog jumping tonight, no more cruising the etsy forums, no more entrecard dropping, no more multiple windows, no more photos on the blog tonight, (hold on, gotta wipe my tears) hmm, I might actually get some more things made for my etsy shop.

So everyone else, have fun on the internet tonight, I'll miss it all. I'm off to make some things!!
