Thursday Musings

Posted on 01/19/2017 by Andrew Reynolds

Do you remember the days when your parents would call you on the phone and tell you they sent you an email?

Now we’re in the days when our kids text us to ask if the can call us on the phone.

My posting schedule will be a little different the next couple of weeks. More about that on Sunday,
Andrew

My sister. I love her dearly, but she texts her daughter all the time. My sister and I are in our 50’s so you’d think she knew how to use the phone! I always know when my daughter is in trouble or needs money because she calls instead of texting – haha!

  I always worry about the texts that include, “when’s a good time to call.”

That’s true 🙂 I often text before calling.

I work with a woman who emails me, but also prints it and puts it in my in-basket. (Grrrr!)
Also, if I email her, she prints and files it.
No idea if she’s entered the age of texting yet. I’ll keep you posted.

  For a text, she could photo copy her phone and file that. My father told me that a true bureaucrat is someone who photocopies everything before shredding it, so they can keep track of what was destroyed…

  If the weather report is to be believed, I need the ark ready tonight for the flood starts tomorrow. Thought I’d get out a blog post first. 😉

I have to text my mother to tell my stepdad when I’ve sent him a text. Then he reads the text and sends me a text asking me what would be a good time for him to call me. 😄

  I can believe it. I once got a text from a friend telling me they’d left me a voice message.
