Now we are visiting family for the holidays and I have access to a good computer while I'm visiting, and a good internet connection... we hooked the Chief's mom and dad up with high speed internet through a local cable provider. Chief-dad had been reluctant to switch from dial up internet ($10 per month) because he thought it was too expensive. So we did a trade... first, we got Chief-dad a cell phone on our plan for $10 per month. He insisted paying us $120 every year. We then signed up Chief-mom up for the same deal but rather than have them give us $240 every year we got them cable internet. They now pay for the internet which is about $40 per month and we pay for the phones. This way the difference is only $10 more than when he was paying for dial up. Anyway, if that is confusion I apologize. Just know they now have cell phones and high speed internet...
I also built a new desktop PC for home and once it was finished I gave the old one to Chief-mom and Chief-dad. It is 4 years old but still works well. We also installed a wireless network so the smart phones and laptops will work here. There is no data coverage for any carrier in this location.
One of the things the Chief and I do is play Words With Friends together. She plays on her smart phone and I play on Facebook. Since i work in a field where chemistry is involved sometimes I play words that have to do with chemistry. The Chief hates this. She is also playing with one of my coworkers and my coworker will play chemistry words on occasion and the Chief always complains, "Damn chemistry words..." or something like that.
I played "toluene". She did not like it too much. She called to voice her disapproval. Here is the voice mail she left me.
Damn chemistry words!!
