I would still be religious. (now I'm just spiritual)
I wouldn't be able to "talk" to my boyfriend during weekdays.
I would be relying on shock news to help me decide on which candidate to vote for, as apposed to looking up their voting records online.
I wouldn't have gotten into crafting.
I would have more respect for the male gender. (ignorance is bliss)
I wouldn't have seen the greatness of LOL cats.]]>
Maven - Cookies
Meggysue - Angels
Bingo - Fig Jam
The Plime crew is better than any online group I have encountered yet!]]>
I need someone to make me go to the "go to bed thread"...]]>
Holy crap this includes Mystic Knights of Oingo Boingo music!!!!Looking through this, I'd say there's a handful or two of stuff I don't have... which will quickly remedied. MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
*ahem*
If you want to PM me your address, I'll copy the two DVDs I have of Boingo television stuff.]]>
and my friend Jeff would never have started avoiding using his cell phone to avoid cancer and killing bee's (I can't reach him any way but going to his apartment now, it's ridiculous)
I would have never become a Discordianist
I wouldn't know that Rastafarianism is not a religion. (Its called Rastafari or the Rasta movement, Rastas are very anti -isms)
I would have to use real maps.
I wouldn't be listening to Oingo Boingo covering the beach boy's California Girls :D]]>
-Seen things that will be forever implanted into my head, forever eating brain cells.
-Met some absolutely amazing people.]]>
I don't have everything, but I've got damn near everything.Ahhh Well I looked and found this site , which has alot :) (first smiley I have ever used)

I don't have everything, but I've got damn near everything.]]>
Also, I wouldn't have the expanding vocabulary that nearly constantly playing internet Scrabble has given me. :)
(also the porn)
<_<
>_>Unreleased Oingo Boingo!!!! Where did you find it?????]]>
all this housework to do.
met my cousin Linda while we were looking for information on our common great-grandparents.
gotten hooked on geneaology.
found great discount shopping deals, and some that weren't so great, but I had to have them.
encountered all you fine people on Plime (thanks, Bornbad).]]>
...enjoyed the PoDs (Poem of the Day) from one of my favorite people, Bob McKenty (we worked together a long time ago and are still friends)
...dared to enter a Text contest on worth1000
/there's a text section?
...received feedback on ebay like this:
Positive feedback rating YOU MADE MY DAY THANKS DELBERT
...owned a car that looked like this
and most importantly
...met one of my favorite people and best friend in the whole world.]]>
I wouldn't have been able to help that nice Nigerian gentleman protect his royal inheritance money.
I would never have recieved that warning from the IRS about people trying to steal my refund (good thing I confirmed by bank account number with them!).
I would never have learned to fry an egg or make popcorn with my cell phone.
I would never have learned that I can get cancer from using an optical mouse.
I would never have forwarded that timely warning of a ghost under my bed, to 10 of my closest friends.
I would never have learned that entering my ATM pin number in reverse will summon the police.
I would never have found out that Oscar Mayer doesn't support the war (and that I should stop eating their hotdogs).
And last but not least...
I would NEVER have learned about the MANY ways I can increase my penis size!
Woot!!!]]>
(also the porn)
<_<
>_>]]>
Oh...and I WOULD have way too many cookies...]]>
And if not for the internet, I would not have the amazing self satisfaction of knowing that somewhere in the Midwestern United States, there is a guy that seriously wants a banjo. And that is because of me. To influence someone to play the banjo is a life changing event. From Maude to me to Smarty!Moe, I so wanted to upvote you for the DEP's mom comment, but I thought it fitting that your number was "69" and wanted to leave it there. ;)
Very cool about sharing the banjo experience though!]]>
Seriously, I wouldn't have half the things I have. I research the H3LL out of everything I buy, and only once I've read consumer and "expert" reviews will I buy something.]]>

I have exactly the same bed.
No, I don't, whyyyyyyyyyyyyy can't I stop making things up?!! Why???!!!!]]>
I wouldn't have found the plethora of information and cool stuff using Google.
I would probably have ruptured my brain many times over trying to remember who played what in what movie. (Which goes back to Google and IMDB.com)
I wouldn't have found Plime.
AND I wouldn't have found my totally cool, for real wrought iron canopy bed. (and matching nightstands) Ever since I was a little girl, I always wanted a canopy bed. (My canopy isn't draped like this, but this is the bed style I got. I swooned when I saw it on the website.) :)
So if it wasn't for the internet, and the fact that I unexpectedly came to own a Pit Bull, I would have missed out on a wonderful group of friends.This reminded me that we wouldn't have our Bull terrier if it wasn't for the internet. My wife joined an online forum for a group called BIN, Bullies In Need. We adopted him through them.
So if it wasn't for the internet we wouldn't have the great dog we have now :D]]>

-I might still have religion.
-I never would have found Plime.
-I would still be very closed minded.
-I would never have seen the eels video, 4girlsfingerpainting, or 2girls1cup. (Which would have been a good thing)
-I would never have found rotten.com, or snuffx.com.
-I wouldn't be into art or video editing.]]>
I wouldn't be able to keep in contact with all the people I have met over the years in the many different places I have lived and my family across the country as easily.
I wouldn't have been able to get a great price for airline tix today to go visit my ailing grandmother.
I would actually be doing work at work instead of messin' around on Plime and other sites.
I wouldn't be able to talk to leeh and MM on AIM all frackin' day.]]>
I wouldn't have free movies to watch while being bored at work..
I wouldn't have met the lovely flgiht attendent form Dubai and had the bestest biirthday ever this year..
I wouldnt have ever found plime and realized theres actually real people in canada that say aboot and its not just on south park
I wouldn't have ever seriously wanted a banjo]]>
-My parents would still be together
-A pedophile wouldn't have come down from Canada to try and get me when I was 12(long ass story and no it wasn't DEP)
-I'd still have a good $20,000 in my bank account and not have to worry about people I knew stealing my credit cards and charging them out the ass causing me to be in debt
The only GOOD thing to come out of the internet for me is Plime, AFF, and DevArt.]]>
I also recently was able to order a short sleeved white button down shirt for my son. That particular article of clothing is next to impossible to find. He insists on wearing his "white shirt" to church every Sunday. Most nice dress clothes don't start for boys until they are about 7 it seems, based on what I have seen at stores.
I acquired tickets to the FINAL Genesis concert last year online as part of Lark's retirement from 20 years and 9 months of service in the Coast Guard.
The internet can be a good place.]]>
[/TJ]
If it wasn't for the internet I wouldn't be goofing off right now instead completing the exciting and death-defying task of "comparing all the items we converted in the 14 go-live to how many DO NOT have category data in the 000 org."]]>
:(]]>
Not those kind of cookies, mavens!
Also I'm pretty sure I'd have never seen midgets doing the nasty dance, goatse guy, or an array of other nastiness. Come to think of it mavens cookies are probably the only good thing that's come from my internet access :D
*edit* To add, I only got teh internetz 3 years ago, before that I'd never used a computer apart from simple task at work. This probably accounts for my childish enthusiasm for things that that are old news to most people :)]]>
If it wasn't for the internet I wouldn't have.......... | < 1 2 3 > |
Strangely enough there are people I know who still do not have internet access.
What have you gained that you wouldn't have if you did not have the internet?]]>
