About 9...Oh Gattina, you are so right about this. About 9 years ago I started a small chatroom with 50 or so women in it. Over the years I've met nearly every single one face to face...and many more than once.<br /><br />The emotions I feel for them as you chat translated so truely to 'real life'. <br /><br />I've started meeting some of my 'blog' friends recently as well. Except for the sound of their voices the feel of their heart is always so comfortable.<br /><br />Thanks for a wonderful link this week.<br /><br />You so vividly expressed the feelings I think many of us share.<br /><br />A+Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12462124067637610359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2857159910102323096.post-49758196933986580832011-03-12T19:33:25.585+01:002011-03-12T19:33:25.585+01:00Gattina, you are certainly right about virtual gir...Gattina, you are certainly right about virtual girl friends!

I care about their lives like I care for my "real" friends. So perhaps that line is somewhat blurred.<br />I teach classes sometimes which I arrange by phone. I hear the person's voice--We usually speak several times before the meeting. Of course, I imagine a certain look, but people always look different than imagined. I'm not disappointed by that, just somewhat surprised.<br />I have to add that I enjoy blogging much more than I imagined at first. I have met such interesting folks, and have traveled "virtually" all over the world.Splendid Little Starshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10732090154244573323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2857159910102323096.post-77175425237110844432011-03-12T07:26:06.645+01:002011-03-12T07:26:06.645+01:00I agree how awesome to meet so many from here, the...I agree how awesome to meet so many from here, there, and everywhere...that otherwise would not have been possible.

She has a phone on a phone table, and on the table was also a phone book, a personal phone book, a roll of paper with a pen, the phone and an egg timer. Why the egg timer? Well, talking on a phone was very expensive and the would call her friend and talk for just three minutes. Then she would write down how long she spoke, and to whom.<br />I think Grandma would love the Internet and would enjoy being able to be in touch with so many!Maribethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17435726542598515305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2857159910102323096.post-75876412778007631902011-03-10T14:18:59.604+01:002011-03-10T14:18:59.604+01:00It's a shock to meet people sometimes, as you ...It's a shock to meet people sometimes, as you say.
