I was emailing as a grad student in 1989-90. I had only one friend who had a .edu email address (another grad student) and I can remember being SO excited to have ONE email in my box. Those were the days, sigh. <BR/><BR/>My friends at the time, who had long ago given up college and had settled into marriages and kids thought I was some geek-freak sending mail by computer.shrink on the couchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13271891110211081990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9043527093315561242.post-65257070194036805542008-11-07T08:40:00.000-08:002008-11-07T08:40:00.000-08:00so whopping cornbread was, truly, randomly generat...so whopping cornbread was, truly, randomly generated? haha! I love it! <BR/><BR/>Did it make you go out and experiment with cornbread recipes? Do you even like cornbread? (My husband and kids LOVE IT but I am able to pass on the cornbread, though not much else with the word "bread" in it).shrink on the couchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13271891110211081990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9043527093315561242.post-9039902235612274142008-11-07T08:26:00.000-08:002008-11-07T08:26:00.000-08:00Before Al Gore invented the internet we moms just ...Before Al Gore invented the internet we moms just yacked on the phone all day.

But they hooked me too. <BR/><BR/>While my son was born when blogging was young, I had never heard of it. Although a friend of mine at the time was traveling the world on her own and sending email accounts home...I knew I wanted to do something like that...it was only a matter of time before I first began blogging...with a food blog!Caffienated Cowgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03762389337951910204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9043527093315561242.post-81326507540278971362008-11-07T07:10:00.000-08:002008-11-07T07:10:00.000-08:00Sadly, my babies were born prior to the internet! ...Sadly, my babies were born prior to the internet!
