These days we really depend on both and especially internet since we use it for everyday business now. I hope they found the correct fix for it this time!<br /><br />I love your hearts for charity. What a great way to use up small bits of yarn and help others. Have you heard of Izzy Dolls for charity? They are very small dolls that you either knit or crochet and are sent to children in difficult war situations. I know another blogger that makes them with her leftover yarn. You can learn about them here:<br />https://rods.sk.ca/blogs/post/rods-distributing-izzy-dolls-for-refugee-children<br />That is a Canadian site but I believe there are sites in the U.S. too.Bonniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17738727252267659979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-51851560621347178602021-02-24T12:59:40.672-06:002021-02-24T12:59:40.672-06:00Really made me think--I don't own a radio anym...Really made me think--I don't own a radio anymore. I always used to have a battery operated one in case of tornado...when did I stop? Alexa can play music for me if I have electricity, I guess.

Ha! Neither one works at all. We don't miss the TV as we rarely watch it, but Dennis needs wifi for work and I rather enjoy it too. Luckily we're grandfathered into our unlimited data on our cell phone and ipad. I can use the hotspot on them for my laptop but Dennis finds himself working lots of extra hours. Anyway, it's annoying because we're paying top dollar because of all the amenties. Oh and it has an indoor pool and hot tub too. Guess what? They're closed because of Covid. So basically we pay a LOT just to park our RV. We like it here but we're glad it's just a short time and not permanent because we would go broke!<br />Take care Connie.<br />Blessings,<br />BetsyBetsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00807691752817225336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-7647110062196890192021-02-24T10:25:39.042-06:002021-02-24T10:25:39.042-06:00I think I am just too used to noise.

It's the same with our phone company. Our telephone (landline) is going out constantly. Hubby takes care of calling the phone company because I just don't have the patience. The last time it went out, a couple weeks ago, it was out for 10 days. Nothing but static on the line. They finally fixed it and called hubby afterward, saying the problem was a couple miles down the road. Whatever! I think it's rang twice since being fixed. I like a little background noise in my day too, most of the time. The source of that has changed over the years: it used to be talk radio, then it was CNN for awhile when we had cable tv (& when CNN was unbiased & just reported the news), and once in awhile it was old Honeymooners VHS tapes... now it's YouTube played on my living room tv. It won't be long until it's something else. I'm glad your problem is finally fixed... or is hopefully finally fixed! ~Andrea xoxo The Feminine Energyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02145843258211481300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-86028091008914654432021-02-24T08:52:24.419-06:002021-02-24T08:52:24.419-06:00I would find the quiet very irritating too, and ve...I would find the quiet very irritating too, and very quickly.
