Welcome back, stranger!  It's gonna take awhile for you to get caught up.

To answer your question:  What did we do before the internet?  Smoke signals !!!!

Tina:  It was called "letters" you know, envelope, stamp, ink (or pencil) paper and etc.

It is really, awful to be without the internet.  Like have a part of oneself cut off.

Welcome back, Tricia!
