Internet Dependency Confession

Living in a town where some folk don't trust the bank enough to have a checking account and cash their paycheck every Friday instead of direct depositing, I admit: I'm internet dependent. Here, for your perusal is a list of the services I use, free whenever possible, to manage life in general:

1. Wachovia - free online banking
2. TurboTax - Federal/State income tax filing program
3. Mail - yahoo.com (free) e-mail
4. News - AOL, CNN, New York Times (all free)
5. Weather - The Weather Channel (free)
6. Shopping - ebay, half.com (textbooks), Amazon
7. Paying Bills - All companies participating (save that 39 cents per!)
8. Great Sermons - Lifeteaching.org (fantastic teaching)

I heard a couple of years ago about a guy who was going to stay in his house for one year, depending on the internet to provide all his services for him (e.g. buying groceries online and having them delivered). He supposedly would receive a large cash prize if he did it, but I never heard the end result of whether he made it or not. If you think about doing it, then use the above sources and links, so you too can live for one year in your bunny slippers.
