Internet Stuff I Am Enjoying

I think I have written love letters to the internet before, so I'll skip that. I have a few new links I am liking though, so I thought I'd list them here:

- Goodreads! If you like to read, this is a fun way to keep track of books you've read, want to read, want to read again, etc, and also to find out what other people recommend. Here is my user profile, add me as a friend so I can see what you are reading! (I apologize in advance for all the vampire books)

- The Flying Pinto, a blog written by flight attendants:

YOU KNOW YOU ARE A FLIGHT ATTENDANT WHEN..
7. You can recognize pilots by the backs of their heads-but not by their faces
17. You stand at the front door and politely say "Buh-bye, thanks, have a nice day" when someone leaves your home
23. You refer to cities by their airport codes

I also like this post - especially #3 because when I lived in Boston I always got a "regular" from Dunkin Donuts - coffee with cream and sugar.

- Highway Hags, two truckin' ladies and a beagle named Maggie. I liked this post: "...then I just got a message back that said, “Do you know why you’re in trouble?...” and loved their "About the Hags" page.

In case you haven't seen this yet:



"In my lifetime the changes in the world have been incredible. When I was a kid we had a rotary phone. We had a phone you had to stand next to, and you had to dial it. Do you realize how primitive - you're making sparks.. in the phone. And you actually would hate people with zeros in their numbers, cause it was more - oh this guy's got 2 zeros, screw that guy, ugh..."

    Should have been a flight attendant. Not.

  2. Hi! Thanks for the compliment! I tried to e-mail you but it was sent back? Do I have the right address?
    I am completely envious of where you live! Good for you. My parents had a house in SXM when I was in HS...long time ago: ) They had a place in Point Pirouette, does that sound familiar, it's probably a different name by now. I'm sure it's changed a lot, but still a beautiful choice on where to live.Thanks again!

    Sissi, LOL...what's wrong with being a FA?

  3. Hi Sissi and Flying Pinto!

    I use SXM of course and in my head I say SJU but I think that is it. I also like JAX for Jacksonville.

    Flying Pinto, how funny. My in-laws just sold their Point Pirouette house. I have always liked it there though at this point it is difficult to drive through.

    Re: email - if you look at the left top of the page where it says "Have a question..." the email address is correct. If you clicked on the envelope looking button, that is for signing up for my post updates through email, and that means the button is confusing and I need to change it.

    Thanks for commenting here and for your fun blog!
