Wow, Lindsay… I must have missed that episode! Honestly, I have a hard time believing that the parents were unaware of what was going on- that Mom must have been out to luch, and the Dad must be nuts. If I was a parent, there would be absolutely no no way that my child would even have a computer in their room! Don’t get me wrong- technology is a wonderful thing… but it can also destroy lives if you don’t use it in the right way. If a child has a computer in there room- who is to know what they are up to? I think that the computer would be a whole lot safer for children if it is positioned in an open part of the house- like a family room or something. I think that it is also important for us to realize that anybody using the Internet can be exposed to an extremly dangerous situations- stolen identity, credit card theft, plagerism, etc. Actually, a few years ago my own family had an Internet scare. My youngest sister was chatting on line with whom she thought was a 14 yearold girl living in Regina and attending a local school…my sister actually gave our phone number to the “girl” so that they could make plans to meet. One morning, the phone rang at about 4:00am and it was a man- asking for her. My parents freaked… and then we all got the lecture about using the computer safely. Poor Carolyn- I don’t think that she has ever chatted on-line again!
In regards to Kyle’s question about the mountains, I actually lived in Lake Louise for a year and a half. Yeah, the scenary was beautiful… and I learned how to snowboard. After reading your blog- I was green with envy.
Well, hope that everyone has a great week. Talk to you soon!
