A great thing happened. This apartment is now more like home than ever. (Yes, Dublin is a part of a different planet than Brunner.) Being connected is so nice! Thank God–we specifically prayed for a miracle, and He gave us one–we talked to the right people at O2, the mobile company, and they gave us a subscription to their broadband.
I know. Small things amuse small minds. But when you consider that this is awfully fast (7.2 Mbps download) and works just about anywhere in the country, and then you consider that it’s costing me Euro 9.99 per month for 10 GB, you understand why I’m amused.
Just to recap: we have free calling to USA and Canada. Email us and tell us when to use it. 🙂
(This also means I can do my homework! I thought U of G did a lot of requiring students to have internet access, but they didn’t come close to what UCD requires.)

Glad to hear that it feels like home! If you’d have done your undergrad at UW you’d be used to the number feeling 🙂 Enjoy your broadband!

Good to find your blog! Tis a great thing to be connected, when most “connections” are over the sea. Seems one thing is cheaper in Dublin than in this mountain section of Waterford! We pay 3x that for 1MB.

At first I was afraid that somebody died and went to heaven, judging by your title. So glad to hear nobody got kicked in the head by a horse, and that y’all are settled in and finding Ireland homey!

Thanks for the laugh, Juliann. When are you going to get a blog? I guess I could also just call you to find out how you’re doing. 😉 -Jen

Do I look like somebody who would enjoy wasting time on such piffle? \”/ I know, I know, I’m fast becoming a fat and lazy housewife, so maybe I should get a blog. Maintaining it like you folks do would definitely cure the laziness, but not the fatness, so……. we’ll see.
Having said all that piffle (have you noticed I like the word?), I really do enjoy your blog. Keep it up. And, I would love a call from you anytime.

No, but I thought it was worth a try. Congratulations on joining all the rest of us fat, lazy housewives.
