So my DH is the sweetest man I know! I got my yule gift way early and its a laptop! So I'm now sufficient in that I don't need to borrow my mom's computer or go to the library to use it, a printer is next for the usual household documents that way I don't have to spend $.20 a freaking page! and I can print my own photos not go to Walmart and pay per photo. and we now have internet at home! no more paying extra on my phone so I can troll my beloved forums and pintrest, I have a whole terabyte for it all! I feel so free knowing I don't have to get in the car and drive down to the library or go to work to bum wifi on my phone, I can do it all at home. so beware the huge multitude of questions i'll be able to post with ease now! possibly from my garden!

:rantExactly and that's just the bill every month. The phone actually was around $700! I mention it frequently. Now he's talking about an upgrade. I talk about when he's going to be sleeping on our daughter's couch, lol.

Sounds great @ChickenMomma91. I don't know what I would do without my computer since I use it for my business and everything I want to learn...just a click away.

Bring on those multitude of questions! :thumbsup

Having a computer is absolutely great if used the right way...for enrichment and not for "numbing" the mind or spirit.

congrats! That is HUGE!! We moved 2 years ago and I had no internet for 9 months. Finally went with Hughes Net satellite internet. Not the greatest, but it sure beats a cell phone. So I can really get excited for you, I know what it is like to be on a cell phone. Hooray for you! And hooray for your husband!

That is a wonderful gift! I can't live without my laptop either. I often joke and say I'm probably the one person with a "smart" phone that doesn't use it for internet! lol That small screen frustrates me too much. Laptops are sheer spoiling, yes!

I had satellite internet when I first moved here. Couldn't get cable in this area 20+ years ago. Hated it! Keep in mind our phones are flip phones. We don't use them for the internet at all even though they are internet capable.
