where's Gary? that troublemaker. (♥)

okay, sometimes i type lol when someone has made me chuckle, but

LOL! this time. :)

my sister and i were on the phone this morning (yes, old people still resort to that ancient method of communication), and we said we wished we could still boss our kids around.
:rolleyes:
and then quickly we said, no! no we don't want that!
life is hard for the young these days...we feel for you.
I still have an ancient phone....I don't understand the need for these smartphones....I like being smarter than my phone.

At times it would be nice for a smart phone, but like you I want to know how to use it. Plus, I don't like fingerprints and with a smart phone they would be everywhere. I know it drives me nuts with my tablet.

Fingerprints all over my screen drive me crazy....I like memorizing everything so I dont have to rely on google. There is actually a study that says google destroys the memory.

Same, I keep a tracfone on me at all times as an emergency phone essentially unless a family member needs to get a hold of me.

I love my smart phone and my Ipad. I can travel through the mountains and remain in in contact with my friends around the globe, posting pictures on FB of the majesty of the mountains God created.

I have every phone number and email address at my finger tips. I can google just about anything, but especially use the maps to find my way around when I am in new cities or towns.

I can read theology, and post here while my husband drives the car. I carry all my favourite Christian music with me, in playlists appropriate to what I am doing. I can find a recipe on Pinterest, or a new kitchen on Houzz. I can read the news, watch a youtube video and find out what the weather is! Yep, I use a lot of data!

I do use my phone as a phone, daily with my kids. Yes, that is one function of a smart phone. Being a phone! LOL

Stop using it as a plate then, BLB.
You don't have to do EVERYTHING on your computer, do you?

i text my husband....he doesn't want to take the time to learn to text me back, tho.
but i can say, honey, will you get milk on the way home? haha
