I sure do when I was living in the sticks in Michigan a few years ago. The cable company would not run the cable out of town beyond a certain mileage. I can still hear the awful noise the computer made, and the excruciatingly slow speeds. Today, I have a 30mbps upload, and a 300mbps download speed, so wonderful!
Did your mother or grandmother teach you about having good manners while away at other places and people’s homes? Mine sure did and for this, I am still grateful. And for the two times, my mother slapped the snot out of me when I was a teen. I deserved it, thank you mother for caring!
Yep, I remember dial-up. LOL. “39 years”!!
I feel blessed that my son is well mannered. I hear from other people how sweet he is. And oh the awful dial up noise! I do not miss that!
You did a great job, mom! 😂👍🏻 The dumb noise, the super slooooow data transfer of dialup. So awful!
It so was! I’m still get nostalgic when I hear “You’ve got mail!”
The old movie remembered, so fun.
We had dial up back in the day. I don’t think I ever waited 39 years for a download, but the wait did seem endless at times. 🙄
LOL, I wonder if anyone ever actually waited a year for a download! It was soooo bad waiting for it to finish. My Cox cable is super fast, love it.
I don’t know how fast ours is but I know it was just upgraded to download faster.
That’s good! I’m guessing you have a router in the house and have cable.
We have a router for sure.
That’s good. Maybe you can find out what your upload and download speeds are if you care. 😂
Manners are not a priority anymore I fear. It’s a big free for all out there lol
I think you are correct, I think it’s a darn shame!
We could do worse than to follow those old rules.
I agree! Bring good manners back!
Yesterday, I asked my mother-in-law if I could open her fridge to put a bowl away from our dinner. And she laughed at me for asking this silly question, but I would never open someones’ refrigerator without permission. All of those rules were very important in how I was raised and I hope I passed it on to my kids, although admittedly I didn’t pass it on with the fear that was instilled in me. Still, I’m always proud of my kids for their manners and politeness. I wish we all could be polite and kind to each other, it goes so so far.
That is so wonderful, Sylvia! Good manners are so good and important to have. Many younger folks today need a serious dose of good manners! I’m 61 and glad that I am a baby boomer, we were raised to respect others and their property.
Your grandmother was right but nowadays I don’t know about the children 😃 because they only like to learn from phone.
You can’t depend on a phone for an education!
Of course not! 😊
Children are a mess and out of control these days, nothing like when I was a kid…
Yes absolutely now situation has changed 😊
Not always for the better…
I even remember before the internet 🙂
Me too, Derrick, and it was a better world in many ways.
Oh Yes, it definitely felt like 39 years.
It’s so weird, my iPhone today is well more than capable of insane data transfer speed. ❤️
