Well guess what? I finally talked Daniel into trying the experiment of not having cable and internet. I was only able to talk him into trying it for 6 months. I showed him how much we could save by not having the extra expense. I also showed him all the nice excursions we could take on our up coming cruise with us not having the extra expense.
Now comes the practical application of my experiment. Since Daniel has internet at work he wont miss it much. Since I'm home bound it will impact me more but I want to prove to myself (and my mother) that I can live without internet. Cable wise it's not really a big deal. We have the basic plan currently and only get about 30 different channels. Of the 30 we only watch about 5 of them. Of the 5, 3 are free over the air channels. The biggest things are blogging about the experiment and paying our bills since I normally do this with online bill pay.
Daniel asked me how am I going to pass the time and I've started thinking about it. I've been trying to knit a scarf now for about 2 years so that's first on my list. I've gotten away from reading which I used to do all the time. I have my crafts. I'll have time to visit my friends. I'm thinking life will become simpler. Who knows maybe Daniel and I will come to like it and stop having it all together. I doubt it but who knows.

Better make sure you get your bills in the mail and not just e-bills like we do! Time to start scrapbooking!
But if I did that I'd have to write a check. We don't even own checks.
I've never been able to scrapbook. It was something I could never get into. I make greeting cards every now and then like the one I made for Collin.
If you don't get checks then how will you pay the bills?
I log into our online bill pay and they either electronically send them the money or they mail a check for us.
