Why I (usually) love the internet

There are some days, like today, where I’m become disenchanted with the internet. Days when I forget about all the reasons I love writing here, love having a support system here, just love my little piece of the world wide web. Days when I get so focused on the ugly parts that I want to walk away.

But thankfully, I don’t have to look far to find the good parts. In this case, just to my twitter account.

And while there are still parts of the internet that I desperately want to junk punch on a pretty regular basis, I also know sometimes the internet just gets me.

    @Life of a Doctor’s Wife, It definitely made me smile. That episode is one of my very favorites. In fact, both of the jam episodes are among my favorites. :)

    “Makin’ jam to get over my man” doesn’t really fit me but I’m glad it’s bringing you joy. Don’t eat it all at once!!

    @purplebreath, Don’t worry, I’m doling it out carefully, but efficiently because of these alleged rules about it expiring.

    “Remember when your mom used to drop you off at the movies with a jar of jam and a spoon?”
