Out Ioway

My help comes from the Lord,
the Maker of Heaven and earth,
He will not let your foot slip-
He who watches over you will not slumber.
-Psalms 121:2,3

I am not above forwarding...

in a manner of speaking.

We all get those forwarded emails because...mmmm...I guess some people have nothing better to do ;-)

Anyway, though I usually delete half without reading, I'll share part of one I received this morning because I thought it was rather revealing of our times. Excuse, please, if you've already read this:


YOU KNOW YOU ARE LIVING IN 2009 when...


1. You accidentally enter your PIN on the microwave.


2. You haven't played solitaire with real cards in years.


3. You have a list of 15 phone numbers to reach your family of three.


4. You e-mail the person who works at the desk next to you.


5. Your reason for not staying in touch with friends and family
is that they don't have e-mail addresses.


6. You pull up in your own driveway and use your cell phone to
see if anyone is home to help you carry in the groceries.


7. Every commercial on television has a web
site at the bottom of the screen.


8. Leaving the house without your cell phone, which you didn't
even have the first 20 or 30 (or 60) years of your life, is now
a cause for panic and you turn around to go and get it.


10. You get up in the morning and go
on line before getting your coffee.


11. You start tilting your head sideways to smile. : )


12 You're reading this and nodding and laughing.


13. Even worse, you know exactly to whom you
are going to forward this message.


14. You are too busy to notice there was no #9 on this list.


15. You actually scrolled back up to check that
there wasn't a #9 on this list.


~~~~~~~~~~~AND
FINALLY~~~~~ ~~~~~~~


NOW U R LAUGHING at yourself.

1. Ha...no, but yesterday I nearly wrote down my driver's license number for my Weight Watchers ID.

2. I have NEVER played solitaire with real cards. There was a solitaire game I called "Aunt Ethel" and played on the bus back in college, but it wasn't REAL solitaire.

4. Oh, yes...I do send emails regularly to people who are 15 feet away or less.

10. You get up in the morning and go on line before getting your coffee...Well, duh!

I remember playing solitaire with real cards!

I also remember hearing my dad complain when postage increased to 6 cents per letter.

AND I remember when capri-type pants were referred to as "pedal pushers."
