What would life be like without the Internet? Before I had the Internet I did a lot more recreational reading, and was a more frequent visitor of my local Everett Public Library. I also read more magazines. I have several free subscriptions to Christian magazines that basically are collecting dust because on on-line Internet sites such as Helium.
I would spend more money on postage stamps. My deceased mother and I spent a small fortune on postage stamps submitting our poetry to numerous poetry anthologies. I currently have two poetry sites that I submit poetry to, poetry.com and poetry.poem.
Before arthritis made handwritten letters and poems more painful, I would write Baptist Missionaries, and other loved ones by sending them cards and letters.
I would probably spend more time listening to music, and talk shows on my older modeled entertainment center. However, the home construction workers outside of my house are listening to enough music to suit me. Although I would probably not turn their radio station on. I would favor relaxing jazzy music on KIXI or listen to religious broadcast stations such as KCIS.
Currently I watch the TBN and DAYSTAR Christian television stations and Hall Mark. I also watch the weather channel Two. Sometimes I watch local news broadcast stations such as KOMO, KING and CBS, if I can not find anything else to watch. Because I am a single female, I would probably watch more television.
I would probably spend more time talking to friends and family on my cordless vtech telephone I purchased last year from my local Everett K-MART Store.
I would ride Everett Paratranist more often than I do now, in warmer weather I would ride the fixed route buses. I would spend more time in Forrest Park than the occasional weekends with my close friend Mary. I would go to the Everett Mall just to walk around and look at all the specialty shops they have there.
I would go for more walks with Mary and her dog Studly walking around the Everett Marina, and walking along the sandy beaches in Mukilteo. I would ride the Mukilteo and Wood-bey Island Ferry, and check up on my Uncle George. He recently lost his wife last year.
I would visit Jetty Island with Mary and friends. I would lead a more active life. I would probably become more involved in my local central Everett Faith Lutheran Church. I would visit Serenity Club, and the Drop in Center more often, by participation in their weekend activities. I would take Mary and Studly along with me.
