Hmmm - Wireless Internet Access - what is considered stealing?

sarahbeth1977 @sarahbeth1977 (384) • United States 28 Jan 07

Okay, I'm going to admit it. I'm sitting in the parking lot of a hotel using the wireless internet on my laptop right now. I have a connection at my house, but it's down and I'll have to wait until tomorrow to get it fixed...

sarahbeth1977 @sarahbeth1977 (384) • United States 20 Jan 07

Okay, I have to admit it - I'm a music junky and I just can't help it. I have to keep myself from slurging everytime I hear a song I want to get on iTunes. I will still buy the occasional CD, but now I don't even have to go out...

How do you think Al Gore would have handled 9/11 if he had been president?

sarahbeth1977 @sarahbeth1977 (384) • United States 14 Jan 07

I personally am glad that Bush was in office during 9/11 - things were taken care of that should have been dealt with when Clinton was president, but were never finished (ie Saddam Hussein). But I'm curious as to how anti-Bush...

The more I watch the news and the more I see of commercials today, it seems to me that the general direction of humanity is being moved into the realm of selfishness. They seem to focus on "what I deserve" as opposed to thinking...

sarahbeth1977 @sarahbeth1977 (384) • United States 5 Jan 07

I'm an over-analyzer. It never fails that I am constantly thinking over situations, trying to figure out the possible outcomes. I have often speculated that it's because I don't want to get hurt, or I want to make sure I'm...
