    Not having a cell phone, smart or otherwise, what is the little arrowhead thing supposed to represent?

    If you send me a message and I don’t reply

    Don’t be angry, please don’t cry

    A cell phone is a convenience, that I agree

    But attached at the hip? That’s not for me

    For me, one of the surest signs that I am becoming an old man is that I am beginning to hate the latest gadgets and “improvements” in existing technology.

    And that is coming from someone who is a bit of a tech geek.

    I have friends who send a Zoom invitation for the following day, and I can plan accordingly. I have others who send a Facetime request NOW, and I usually ignore those or don’t see them. I dislike Facetime and would prefer a regular phone call.

    I prefer giving others the last word, because I know if I answer, they’ll just wanna, ya know, keep talking…

    even though he is wearing the same clothes and using the same cup, it seems here is a great passage of time here.. Winter, Summer, Winter, Summer. It seems to take a long time to not get the last word.

    I was sure the bird was going to get the last word (dookie) on his head!

    I’ve learned over the course of 30 years than I can always have the last word…as long as it is “Yes, dear”

    I remember the days when people would scorn tv, pretending that made them superior to the rest of us.

    Sigh, I’m probably one of those ‘having the last word’ people. I don’t know how to end a text exchange and don’t want the other person to think I’ve blown them off. Have patience with me, please.

    Almost all of my texts sent or received are to my sister (about my 91yo mom – text from sister means good news, phone call means bad) or my husband.

    When we moved into this house 30 years ago we bought an intercom plug in system so we could talk from room to room (and not have to stand next to a heating vent when one was upstairs and one in the basement and yell) as needed – mostly because I got tired of having to walk upstairs to tell him dinner was ready. Problem with same was that we both had to remember on the unit where we were.

    Texting has solved this problem – most of our conversations go like this – dinner is finished, I have to let him to know to come down “ok”. He replies “ok”. I am taking the garbage out “garbage out”. He replies “ok” – generally by the time I get this message I am walking back in. I come back in “ok”. Sometimes our ok’s overlap with me replying to him before he replied to me. Probably over 90% of our texts just say “ok”. Other use is when out in stores and separated. Him “?” I reply with where I am and he replies “ok”. (I lose him a lot in stores when we used to go to stores in normal times to have just some time alone.)

    My sister will text me about my mom I reply “ok” or “thank you”.
