... that you cant afford to buy your kids anything for xmas, wtf are you doing online?

last i heard, internet cost money, wether you have it at your house or pay to use the library/internet cafe.

Instead of coming Online and bitching about how skint you are... keep the pennies and try spending them on your kids instead!!!

I bought my computer and got internet access when my son was diagnosed profoundly autistic. At the time I couldn't afford it but the help and info I got there has helped me understand how to help him and actually opened up info regarding therapies which have improved him so much that he regained speech and toilet trainned etc. So the cost was not really an issue.

To the op. I understand your need to question here and you will be able to find out answers more speedily and safely than in real life.I note that you feel your question wasn't phrased well. To be spesific ( if it helps) you might wish to try and phrase your logical question as a question rather than as a statement. And avoiding phrases like WTF may get you far more measured responses.

Very random thing to ask? You're kidding me right? (now I've read the qwhole threAD)- far more logical than half the stuff ds1 (also Aspie- welcome Kaishay) asks.

kaishay might be worth next time asking is it....? rather than AIBU, iyswim?

Maybe these poor people that have the net are the ones doing boobshows on cam for a pound a minute.
Paypal anyone??

needmorecoffee · 09/12/2007 17:39

pound a minute? coo. What does one have to do?

TinyTimLivesinVictorianSqualor · 09/12/2007 17:41

Just rub your tits about I suppose.

needmorecoffee · 09/12/2007 17:42

and pay for this? Righty, best get me a webcam and a paypal account and rich city here I come

stockingfiller · 09/12/2007 17:46

we have no choice but keep the internet (we will still have to pay anyway)
as we signed a contract before dp was made redundant thankyou so i either use it and pay or pay for breaking contract and get no internet from it

can you do the boob cam job even if you munt like thunder but have quite nice nipples?

TinyTimLivesinVictorianSqualor · 09/12/2007 17:51

I'd imagine so, the only place I've seen it advertised was a chatroom I used to go on. Full of people who have never had a real woman, any pair of tits is fun for them.

VeVacuaMerryChristmas · 09/12/2007 17:52

plucks marine rope type hair from nipples

this might take a while

needmorecoffee · 09/12/2007 18:00

ok, what does 'munt like thunder' mean. Beenn puzzling if typo or some dilacet word

Lovely OP In the first place my view would be that it isn't for any of us to judge what other people spend their money on and why. But internet access is by no means the luxury it once was.

VeVacuaMerryChristmas · 09/12/2007 18:05

um urban dictionary defines it variously as being sick, something that is broken or an ugly bird

LadyOfWassail · 09/12/2007 18:27

Now, if the OP had replaced internet with smoking, I would agree. But as it is, what a load of twaddle.

HorseyWoman · 09/12/2007 18:38

Ummm, I may be missing something, but maybe the internet is for the children as well, especially school children who use it for work!
