once upon a time..

...there was no internet.
While the thought of having no internet might not mean much to some people, its terrifies me to my very core. How will i find out the most up-to-date gossip? How will i look up the bus timetable? Whats Perez saying? Are my farmville crops all dead? I know i know, silly matters, but all things i think about on a daily basis when i open my laptop, tune in to the Chris Moyles show on BBC Radio 1 and start my day.

I shudder to think what did they do in the olden days? No mobiles, no internet, how would you find out if your crush was eligible or a phsyco..... how did they tell friend they were late for coffee? Which I always am.

I think as awful as it must have been for thoses who were on time, it must be nice and free to be walking around and not be able to go online or text. Secretly I think I would like this world. I've spent the past two days half writing this post then wandering off an pretending not to have a phone and see what would happen..Nothing happened, i didn't even have one message when i turned on the phone again. But still, the fact that i thought no-one knew where I was, was kinda exciting, if only for a minute!

mom, maaaaa, mother, mammy

love this 50's pic of mothers an daughters, not that myself or my mom are in any way good a cooking, infact my specialty is burnt and crispy garlic bread,  frozen on the inside. Its quite baffling that everytime i cook, i manage to burn anything from toast to fish..to toast, i cant think of anything else i've attempted of late!


Spent this fine mothers day watching '16 and up the Duff', quite the motherly day i had, of course i didn't realise it was mother's day until herself pointed it out to me.


and finally the mother of all..em ..mothers, Michelle Dugger. Your wan has 18 kids and the 19th is on the way! While you may be thinking 'Holy Crap, here's a condom!', the Dugger family of Arkansa in the fine US of A believe that kids are beautiful and special..etc, each to your own. While flicking through the family pics on the their website, which i have, a shamefull amount of times, i notice that these kids dont really resemble each other hugely, just because you put 'em in ankle lenght skirts and refuse to visit the hair dresser doesn't mean, young Jim-Bob, Jeramia, Jordyn-grace, Jinger and the rest are actualy related. I suspect there are a fair few postmen and milkmen  keeping their head down throughout Arkansa.
