When I bought my Blackberry I thought about the 30-year business I ran with 1800 employees, all without a cell phone that plays music, takes videos, pictures and communicates with Facebook and Twitter. I signed up under duress for Twitter and Facebook, so my seven kids, their spouses, 13 grandkids and 2 great grand kids could communicate with me in the modern way. I figured I could handle something as simple as Twitter with only 140 characters of space.
That was before one of my grandkids hooked me up for Tweeter, Tweetree, Twhirl, Twitterfon, Tweetie and Twittererific Tweetdeck, Twitpix and something that sends every message to my cell phone and every other program within the texting world.
My phone was beeping every three minutes with the details of everything except the bowel movements of the entire next generation. I am not ready to live like this. I keep my cell phone in the garage in my golf bag.
The kids bought me a GPS for my last birthday because they say I get lost every now and then going over to the grocery store or library. I keep that in a box under my tool bench with the Blue tooth [it's red] phone I am supposed to use when I drive. I wore it once and was standing in line at Barnes and Noble talking to my wife and everyone in the nearest 50 yards was glaring at me. I had to take my hearing aid out to use it, and I got a little loud.
I mean the GPS looked pretty smart on my dash board, but the lady inside that gadget was the most annoying, rudest person I had run into in a long time. Every 10 minutes, she would sarcastically say, "Re-calc-u-lating." You would think that she could be nicer. It was like she could barely tolerate me. She would let go with a deep sigh and then tell me to make a U-turn at the next light. Then if I made a right turn instead. Well, it was not a good relationship.
When I get really lost now, I call my wife and tell her the name of the cross streets and while she is starting to develop the same tone as Gypsy, the GPS lady, at least she loves me.
To be perfectly frank, I am still trying to learn how to use the cordless phones in our house. We have had them for 4 years, but I still haven't figured out how I can lose three phones all at once and have run around digging under chair cushions and checking bathrooms and the dirty laundry baskets when the phone rings.
The world is just getting too complex for me. They even mess me up every time I go to the grocery store. You would think they could settle on something themselves but this sudden "Paper or Plastic?" every time I check out just knocks me for a loop. I bought some of those cloth reusable bags to avoid looking confused, but I never remember to take them in with me.
Now I toss it back to them. When they ask me, "Paper or Plastic?" I just say, "Doesn't matter to me. I am bi-sacksual." Then it's their turn to stare at me with a blank look. I was recently asked if I tweet. I answered, No, but I do toot a lot."

Happy
Thursday friends!!
This morning we had a gathering for breakfast....
30 morning doves on my deck.... I am amazed at how quicikly
they spread the word about our excellent bird feed...
I am thinking of asking them all for a donation.... because at
this rate I will go through several bags of this feed and it is
rather costly...
Thank you for the reps and notes... trivia/sleuth...
I noticed that severa mof you posted the 8:15 ww
as ardvark... Ryan mentioned the spelling as aar.. Not sure
what other spellings took, but aar worked for me...
My daughter is home sick today... with a horrible cold...
the cats do not even want to be near her... :-(
Tomorrow is my last day of work until the New Year...
I am looking forward to the time off... and painting my office...
The colours I chose I didn't care for.. so it is back to the decorating
store for more colour ideas.
I am happy that is has snowed. For me...
a white Christmas is more magical...
...later

Thank you....heartgirl
I will try it... It worked!!!!!
I had asked Joanne to play this yesterday and she wrote me
back saying it was way too long...
We exchanged a few emails back and forth and she proceeded to offer suggestions to me for my daughter for Christmas....
I saw Jon Anderson last Sunday evening on HD net
performing many yes songs with a wonderful youth orchestra
from Connecticut... amazing...
Were any of you aware that Jon is now really into Christian music...
Yup... he played some of that as well.
Here it is from the album way back...
