My Sister Sandy

Flowerbar

I'd like to introduce you to my sister...Sandy. Just before Mother's Day we were talking on the phone and I commented that she needed to get a computer. Her response, "I'd never use one of those things!" Well, little did she know that she was about to become the proud owner of a WebTV computer system. The following is email from a new internet addict. I've added the ScoobyDoo graphics, because....shhhhhh (whispering)...very few know that Scooby is her hero.

Mother's Day: Sandy and Floyd (my brother-in-law) were presented with WebTV by their daughter Tammy and son-in-law John. Feeling very much like the Scooby graphic above, she begins to learn how to use this thing she said she would never use. Things go well for a while as we email each other. She has a little red light that comes on when she gets email, and she watches for that light to go on.

This is a breeze she thinks as she goes along at a good pace. I send her a url of one of our local TV stations that has a sky cam, so she can see what my town looks like, including the building where I work. Then things take a strange turn. She sends me email I don't receive and the hunt is on.

Saturday, May 23, 12:14pm: "Me again---oh I got so scared. I thought I sent the last e-mail to your local TV station !!! Please Please email me back and tell me you got this and the one before it. If not, I may have to give up email and go back to the phone !!!. Let me know.

Sunday, May 24, 1:07pm: Sue, I ----finally---- found this on an info page. Let me know if you ever get the first mail, the info page, and/or this !!! Love You---me

Sunday, May 24, 1:39pm: Oh Sue san ah --oh did you get my mail ????? Should be coming thru the internet--they tell me without fail. But, they've done me wrong before you know, and lost my favorite piece. So send me word--oh Susie do --- or this here machine and I are through !!!!!! Too much cleaning fluid-----hard on the one and only (great though it may be) brain cell.

Sunday, May 24, 2:22pm: As you can see I lost control !!!! The page I sent to you said that some email gets lost for days as it sometimes goes to a server and then to you. Soooooooo, you should get it sooommmmmmetime !!!! Let me know!!!! I could send it again, but want to see how long it takes....if you don't get it by Thursday, I'll send again. Love you (Me Again)

Sunday, May 24, 2:38pm: Me "Yikes!!! I don't want mail that gets lost for days :o( If that's what it's gonna do then....sheeeeesh, just mail it to me :o) Hmmmmm, wonder which would get here first? And they call mail delivered by the Postal Service "snail-mail"?!?"

Monday, May 25, 12:58am: Morning Sue---I sent that e-mail so early yesterday, I'm checking to see if the time might have something to do with it???? If and when you get this, let me know O.K.???? I'm on a mission---THE CASE OF THE MISSING EMAIL----I feel like Sherlock Holmes....tis elementary, my dear Watson---there is a cyber foul in our midst. I'll wait to hear if this arrived in tact before I continue my search. Have a good day ---love you----(me)

Me: "It arrived fully intact and fuctional...on to your next clue "Sherlock" Love ya!!!"

Sandy: "What are you doing up so early???? So late??? My red light came on and I thought---Morority---was after me and the jig was up !!!!! In short I nearly ____ my pants."

Me: "Never under estimate the power of a cyber slueth!!! I fell asleep from 5 to 9, so now I can't get back to sleep. Need me to add Depends to the list of possible Christmas gift items?"

Sandy: "No return answer...you must have gone to bed? No problem! Do you remember when we were young (come on...think hard) and we would have a very noisy toy??? Mom would yell 'put that up' or 'turn that off', regreting she ever bought it? Well....now aren't you sorry I have this new toy??? Nowhere to hide, huh? OK OK Please don't turn me off!!! Please, with sugar on top!!!! I guess you can see how much I like my new toy??? I like it best cause I get to talk to you more and feel like we're kids again, for one tiny morsel of time. Love to you again, Me PS. Red light again, oh oh oh oh !!!!!!!!!"

Me: "LOL, I love all this early morning intellectual chatter!!! I sure don't get this treat very often. I think I like your new toy, too!!! Love ys, lotz and lotz :o)"

Sandy: "Intell---what? Do I have one of those???"

Sandy: "Yikes---Floyd just sneezed - scared me too!!! Why is everyone up??? This is scary...oh boy, Red light again !!!"

Me: "BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

Sandy: "Where's a Depends when you need one !!!!!!!!???!!!!

Me: "Adding "Giant Economy Size Box" to my list :o)"

Sandy: "BIG big big box ---- thanks"

Me: "I'll save for a truck load :o)"

Sandy: "Patience. Not sure if I spelt it right??? Tam says I need more of it when it comes to the net. I'm like a dog at dinner time.... waiting for anything to fall my way !!! Oh, red light -----something fell !!!!!!"

Me: "I read a prayer about patience once...said 'Lord grant me patience, and grant it NOW!!!!"

Sandy: "Tried it once...found out it comes by tribulation!!! Won't ask for it in prayer again."

Me: "Ahhh, you found out the same thing I did. Good to know there is another impatient person out there who understands you can not ask for that virtue in prayer."

Sandy: "Ohhhhhhhh, I think I hurt myself---- just tried to wag my tail !!!!!"

Me: "Well, if the few scraps I've sent your way this morning got you wagging your tail, then this onslaught of quick replies may cause some damage, so be careful :o)"

Me: "Are your fingers sore yet?'

Me: "How about your eyes? Are you having to squint, put on the extra strong lens glasses, or get a magnifying glass yet?"

Sandy: "Now chasing tail....thanks...what fun!!!!!"

Me: "Careful or you'll make yourself even more dizzier that you already are...hehe....love ya!!!!"

Sandy: "No fingers are not sore---using my toes anyway!!!"

Me: "I knew that 'house ape' part of the family would come in handy someday....just never thought it would be to keep a cyber conversation going through all hours of the night/morning!"

Sandy: "Well, I cleaned my mail room and on my third cup of coffee....boy am I wired now!!!! Did you fall asleep at your keyboard????"

Sandy: "Anybody here seen my ol' sis Susan??? Can you tell me where she's gone??? We had a lot of email here, but the time....ohhh where has it gone..."

Sandy:Well, no response from that end....so must be asleep. I'll talk to you later....was fun!!!! Love...oooops, red light!!!!!!!!!"

Me: "o/`.....I think I saw her walking over the hill....with Winkin, Blinkin and Nod......o/`"

Me: "You give up on me too easily :o) I was surfing the net...sent a lot of sites by a friend and was checking them out."

Sandy: "Just to let you know... I heard Nod is engaged to Little Bo Peep...and..uh...right now she has lost her sheep and went out to find them...but she has been known to put spiders in gardens (ask Little Miss Muffit), and rumor has it she fed Jack Sprat's wife lean, after she was caught looking at Nod....So be verrrrrryyyyyy careful.... Redlight-------May take some time to answer as I have to get Floyd up for work.....your off, huh? Floyd isn't, so I forget."

Me: "The you're off got me at first...I was thinking 'you're off' as in a little bit ditzy (ok, so I happen to qualify for that one as well), but then you said Floyd isn't, and I knew I was thinking in the wrong direction (who could possibly be more ditzy than Floyd?) (Love ya, Floyd....kissy kissy!!!). Whewwww, did I get out of that one? :o) Well, this gal is calling it a nite....er.....or ...is that morning? (shrug) :o)"

Sandy: "Night, I had a lot of fun and really think I do like this new toy more and more. Love you (me)"

And that is how a new Internet addict named...Sandy...was born :o)
