OMG, I have tears in my eyes from laughing out loud!!!! Your Gypsy must be a close relation to our Lucille - she seems to have developed the same dialogue on a recent road trip. I like electronics too, do the texting with the kids and FB but not into Twitter and my husband has the laptop.

I was 28 years old before computer's came into play in our firm (1985) - I got to learn/use the first one and eventually managed our firm wide network. It is amazing how far they have come - now they fit in the palm of your hand! Back then we had to use our brains and manage time and tasks - today, if the electronics hiccup, the working world is lost. That is sad.

I am well over 50 :-(, and I relate very well with your comments. I was LOLing. I sometimes forget to take my recycle bags to the grocery too. And I won't tweet or twitter. I'm with the poster who said I want to hear the other person. Its so much easier to just talk than try to type out messages on a phone. I guess I just don't get it...to darn old I suppose.

Boy, you said it. I often wonder what they will do if these cell towers have a problem. I wouldn't give up my land line for anything. It never runs out of power unless the lines are down and that is so rare. I honestly don't want that much information. I got a cell phone only because I took care of my grandchildren and needed to be in touch with my four daughters but those days are gone. I won't even pull off the road to answer it and it's illegal in NY to talk on it when you are driving (although it's not enforced). I don't WANT to be reached in my car!!!! My kids think I am nuts and wonder how I can live a day without my phone. I'm OLD and Wise, that's how, LOL.

Your little quote at the bottom of your message said it all.

Too funny!!!! Thanks for the laughs...I just got home from a funeral and you made my day. It's all so true.

Got a new Droid phone over the weekend...can barely answer the darn thing. It has a million features and only a skinny little booklet of directions. I asked the salesman (he looked 14) where the directions are and he told me to go online and look on U-Tube as there are videos with people explaining things....crazy!!!

ROFL Oh! "Rolling on the floor laughing." I guess my kids have gotten to me too. I do not even understand all the acronyms used on this quilt site let alone the ones on Facebook and Tweeter. I am too embarrassed to ask my grandkids. Loved your story. I needed a good laugh and can relate to everything you said. Love the by-sackual and toot instead of tweet! Loved it. Thank you for the levity.

I can relate to it all. i STARTED BACK TO COLLAGHE AFTER i WAS OVER 5O so I bought a word processer and from there a computer. Now many years later i LOVE MY COMPUTER and want an Ipad. my daughters say AI dont need one since 2 computers and 7 sewing machines is plenty. but Im sort of liking the light weght Ipad. now too convince my girls.
