TXT THS!
I had just left the house Saturday evening when my phone made a strange noise.Never heard it before, and it wasn't a ring.
I grabbed the phone, flipped it open, and...HORRORS...I had a text message!
I'd never received a text message before, and I'd certainly never sent one.
So I pulled over, and figured out how to return the message. All I wrote was, "OK."
Satisfied, I continued my drive. For 15 seconds. Then it happened again.
This time, the message was, "I'm amazed you know how to text."
My reply: "My first."
And before I continued my drive, I CALLED the person who sent me the texts, and left a message that said something like, "If you text me again, I'm going to break your cell phone or your fingers. Or maybe both. I'm trying to drive!"
Earlier this year, I remember being amazed when we did a story about the dangers of texting and driving.
YOU CAN DO THAT?
HOW CAN YOU DO THAT?
I asked some of my younger colleagues (OK, they're all younger) if they drove and texted at the same time.
Many said they did.
Seems like a high-tech death wish.
So pls, dnt txt me. I jst cant hndl it. Thx.

Hi Gerry on this Tuesday "no Yankees any more" morning. I just wanted to let you know I added the link to THE BROOKS FILE to my link list.
Be well...Peter N.
I sent 1,189 texts last month and I am not proud of it.
Once you get sucked in, you cannot go back. People start to get offended when you don't respond.
Run, Gerry, run.
Thank you, Peter.
If I could, I'd do the same.
Go Sox!
Michele...
Seriously? Really? Honestly?
Don't your thumbs hurt?
I kid you not, Gerry. It started with responding to one... and then and another.
Now, I have friends that I only talk to via texting.
It's HORRIBLE. Like I said, run. It's just another way to communicate without being a real person.
Ain't gonna happen.
