(They think any adult who can text is automatically cool.) So I've learned to text and do it fairly often. I make sure to throw in lots of R Us? and other illiterate-sounding abbreviations.<BR/><BR/>I know, I know, I've stooped pretty low.

I don't want fancy stuff either, and everybody and her sister wants to sell me fancy stuff. <BR/><BR/>I've got kids in my classes who use their cell phones to cheat on. They download stuff from the internet and try to copy from it when they're writing compositions in class. If they just spent the time studying, they'd use less time. Plus they wouldn't get their damn phones confiscated every single time.Mary Witzlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06458299046574564155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38422444.post-71324106858494181662009-02-11T23:16:00.000-07:002009-02-11T23:16:00.000-07:00hahaha ... thanks i needed that laugh today :)hahaha ... thanks i needed that laugh today :)ditzymoihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13083490079089729743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38422444.post-80179946225058407652009-02-11T10:08:00.000-07:002009-02-11T10:08:00.000-07:00Hey, Charlie, you have a new post up......sorry, w...Hey, Charlie, you have a new post up...<BR/><BR/>...sorry, wrong set of comments.<BR/><BR/><BR/>You mean you wanted a phone for talking into? Weirdo. I use mine for taking photos, playing games, texting, making coffee, fixing the plumbing and wiping my arse.

I'm looking at one with too many features, but like many other tech things, I'll let HUbby play with it! ;-)stinkypawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04418558395508830375noreply@blogger.com
