Pickles by Brian Crane for June 14, 2016

Sure is hard to keep up with the times’ new forms of communication. Although I text too, when was the last time people ever bothered to talk with one another which is what phones were meant for?

Tonight my nephew texted me and the rest of my siblings with good news. Unfortunately he sent it as a group message. Every time someone texted him “Congrats” they used ‘reply all’ and my phone was buzzing all evening. The technology wouldn’t be bad if it was used properly.

My name is Earl

when last did any one send a telegram??

Call mom and dad, text friends.

I will text but refuse to tweet. Tweeting is for the birds !

I refuse to even get a cell phone. You want me? Call my landline and leave a message.

I tried texting, but couldn’t find a “send” key on my Underwood.

Texting is for less important things… If it’s important CALL.and get a response.

I text a lot but I rarely call people. When I installed WhatsApp, I thought it was pretty awesome for those blue ticks to mean that your message was read.

Hyper-active FAIL!!!

Not everyone wants to leave the stone age, giggle. In fact, some of us (ahem!) still have flip phones.

Jerry DunhamI found that a Royal pain, too.

Texting was better than calling last month, when a relative was in a hospital,other relatives were visiting her, and I was working. Not a quiet place to work, people all around, and I kept moving around.
