You don’t need to be on the internet when you’re suppose to be visiting!

They are in their mid 80s and need to enjoy now.

Hey, you're right about that! Have you considered going to Costco online through iGive? We're still using them through the end of the year...at least, that's my plan right now.

I hadn’t thought about that....good thinking, good plan.

*sigh* Costco and Sam’s Club are not on the list, but The Apple Store is...I’m ordering my Mom’s computer tonight.

I can’t see any of the Official Provost & CEO of Canteen Woohoo’s creations as photobucket is blocked. And now Fotki is blocked, so I can’t see them either til I get home. *sigh*

And today was a bear. Never once did I have a chance to get into the Canteen. More *sighs*
