Saturday:
Today I am grateful for the internet. I got an IM from one of my great-nieces today that simply made my day. She is Eler Beth's age, and she surprised me by IM'ing me. She and her older sister were home, while my niece and her husband were out on a "date" (cute, huh?); she was at the computer, killing time, so she contacted me.
We talked for a long time. Even after her mom and dad got home we talked for a while. At one point, her mom (my niece, who is three years younger than I and a very good friend) told her that if she started bugging me then she had to go, then she wrote "but I don't think that'll happen!"
She's a lot like Eler Beth, and is a marathon talker. I really enjoyed that conversation. They live in Florida, so we don't get to see each other too often, so that's why I'm really grateful for the internet. It's wonderful to call and hear your loved ones' voices, but it's also nice to converse and share pics over the net.
Sunday:
Today I am grateful for e-billing and payment. I know, I'm reaching here. But it was nice to able to go online and pay several bills today instead of having to either drive around town tomorrow in the heat and humidity or write out and mail a bunch of payments.

I haven't started the bill paying by internet yet, but I do like getting emails and IM's from family and friends when I least expect it. bea
I pay a few bills over the internet and it's so convienent. I'm glad you got to have a nice chat with oyur niece. It's always nice to get in touch with someone you haven't talked to in a while.
Hugs, Angela
I am in the process of converting as many bills over to internet paying as possible and paperless statements. Such a relief not to get so much mail and then not having to worry about stamps, write out checks, etc. Very convenient :)
betty

How fun you got to IM with her! And I do most of my bill paying over the phone. Which is why I never have stamps when I need them (letters, forms that have to be mailed, etc.) I don't think that was a stretch; it is a good thing to be grateful for! Saves a lot of time and anxiety! Jae
