Too true. Heading out to help plan a 40-year reunion for my high school class.

Deral,

That was funny. :good:

I’m not the sharpest tool in the shed so maybe someone can explain to this senior why in hell people text in the first place. You are holding a device capable of actual conversation so why go to all that of that extra trouble pushing those midget buttons??????

I, for one, can talk a hell of a lot faster than I can type.

Have a great weekend!

I don't know whether to laugh or cry, as some of those apply to me.

Oh well, I can't stop getting old so I might as well just roll with it.

Cheers!

Sadly, some of us have younger friends who think texting is the thing to do. So I have tried to learn some of the shortcuts and just thought it time to add in some just for us. If I have to put on my glasses and try this texting stuff them I want them to at times go "What does that mean?" Good the goose then good for the gander.
