Where in the World Isn't Bob Saget?

My first time using the internet was 1998. I wanted to email my long distance girlfriend who eventually became my wife. She had email at her workplace and my elementary school I taught at did as well. I quickly learned how to set up a Yahoo email account and now I have been married to her for 23 years.

One more story. My principal back in 1998 saw me using yahoo email and told me to stop because I was costing the district money. This gave me a chance to teach my boss that going on the internet to use yahoo email was 100% free. Hey...it was new to everybody! I did not look down on him at all

The school where I teach was without internet service today....all day. I had a to change up a couple lessons but not a big deal. My student teacher and the students had a few more issues with no internet but we all survived.

I could probably manage, but all of our curriculums have parts online that we need to access for lessons.

Reminds me back in the day when we had computers at our desk. We had no cellphones but we had beepers. IT would track our usage on the company work computers to see if we were logging into non company websites on company time if the sites were not work related. If we were caught we had a meeting with our boss.

I think it taught my student teacher the value of having some backup lessons.

Just posting this here for your enjoyment. You're welcome.

Not even that far back. I didn't have internet in my high school and I graduated in 1995. We had some computers just not internet. I remember the first time I used the internet, that was when I went to my college's computer lab as a freshman. I saw the Internet Explorer icon on the screen and I thought "hmm this must be that internet thing people are talking about". The first website I saw besides Yahoo (which was the home page) was Disney's. I typed in Walt Disney World and I thought it was so cool to see all that information about wdw!

My first internet search was Snopes.
I’d heard about it on the radio on my drive in to work.

The first website I ever visited was toyota.com, because I saw an advertisement in a magazine.

Excellent point. Although I don't always follow my own advice, it's prudent to have a Plan B for many things in life, not just computers.

Possibly. Looking at Google Maps, it looks like they might have enough room, but obviously I'm not in construction and have no idea. But yeah, I haven't gone to Indy in years. Probably won't again.

But then aren't you still advocating replacing a huge popular people eater with a different attraction that doesn't use up a large number at the same time? DHS had to alter the wetlands where Star Wars is now so there isn't a lot of room left in that park without going either under or over World Drive.

Or if it says pre-cook or cook the noodles.

Exactly! Isn’t the whole point of a crockpot to just dump in all the ingredients and walk away?

Full disclosure: I don’t own a crockpot. I stand over the stove like my ancestors did.

@JenniferS I thought about you today when I realized it's been quite a while (for me) since buying any fresh tomatoes. The quality of them this time of year is awful

So we are supposed to get anywhere from trace amounts to 10 inches of snow on Thursday. That's literally the report right now.

And it is going to miss us completely! YAY!

For me that's spot on. I LOVE spinach artichoke dip and the next closest states are buffalo chicken dip and taco dip - also favorites.

I often put chicken in the crock pot with buffalo sauce to make my buffalo chicken dip!

Look at me bringing it all full circle.

Indeed. Any time of year actually.

For cooking, I use Mutti canned whole tomatoes.


For salads, I use cucumbers.

We’re close enough to Buffalo, so Buffalo dip makes sense. Too spicy for me, but I have a pretty non adventurous palette when it comes to spice. I don’t relish the burn on the way down, and I don’t want to dread the burn on its way ….
