alexander graham bell's The Telephone

�-= george =-

I think the telephone (and the telephone line) is the single most important invention in our society.� Think about how much we rely on it and how much it's changed our lives.� That's what I'm thankful for.� Otherwise I couldn't stay in contact with my life (I'm in Waterloo, my life is not).

Probably true for a while.... but now the internet is replacing it.

but iffin you figger that -some- people still uses the telephone lines for dial-up for internet, it's still as vital as ever.

and c'mon......cellphones???

yeah, but dialup is dying more and more every day.
Eventually it'll be gone.

And, cell phones are preferable to land lines, for me at least.
I can leave my house and still get/make calls... and I get no telemarketers.
:)

None of which would be possible if the telephone had not beem invented first.

yep!

Last time I checked, my high speed internet still went through the phone lines.� Unless you've got cable internet you're still using the phone lines to stay in contact over the net.

I prefer using the phone to using MSN, it's much nicer to hear a familiar voice than talk to a computer, but it's so expensive so I end up using MSN a lot more.

Yeah, but who uses dsl anymore?

Cable modem is sooo much faster and better. :)

Well, around here, anyway.

Damn.� I guess I'm just living in the past.

*glances at shiny black 500 rotary phone on desk*

*glances at two dixie cups and string hanging out her window*

I'd have to say that beats the rotary phone.� :D

Family, loving friends (the proud few) Lots of food, and Poker~

Amen! Can't stand talking on the phone! The thing is important, but it drives me nuts!

~family{the biological one -and- the adopted one}

~good, true friends{who are few and far between}

~good music

~good, true friends that make music{*g*}

~health

~warmth, because some people live in the streets

~the fact that i have a car to get me around so i don't hafta depend on anyone other than myself most of the time

~a job that my not be a -great- or best-paying job, but is a job nonetheless and i can afford to live and do things to help
other people when they need it

~the fact that sancho is still a healthy dogger at 11{though he -does- seem to find trouble on a regular basis}

It isn't Thanksgiving in Canada. Maybe somebody should have posted this thread back in October and just talked about thanksgiving, not Canadian Thanksgiving, and see how we liked it!
:P

Since when is "American" an ethnicity, AJ?

If Italian or Jewish is an ethnicity, then why isn't American? There is such a thing as "American Culture" ergo there is an American ethnicity.

How about the Canadian ethnicity?� I'm a quarter Canadian.�

(That's like 17 cents American.)

;-}

lol, I agree.� :)

most times I am too depressed to be thankfull for anything, which is addmitedly very selfish and dumb, but I can't seem to think of much else than how sorry I am when ... I am sorry. yeah depression is weird like that. anyway on thanksgiving this year I was on my way to work after locking myself out of my appartment and having to leave haylee in the appartment all night by herself to detroy my appartment. I stopped to get gas at Betsy's and when I went inside to pay I thought I might get some coffee...

...�I looked around and couldn't find it. NO coffee?! and the girl at the counter pointed me to it and I sighed with relief.� she talked to me and I talked to her. she was going to her mothers after she got out of work at 11am. I was going to work at 10 and staying there until 1am... I went up to the counter and she was like, "look, you need that coffee and I bet they don't pay you much... just go." and so I got coffee for free... and it made me stop and think and just that one thing, free coffee, made my day and made me thankful.
