Got this in my email this morning.


You know you're living in 2005 when...

1.You accidentally enter your password 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 go home after a long day at work you still answer the phone in a business manner.

7.You make phone calls from home, you initally dial "9" to get an outside line.

8.You've sat at the same desk for four years and worked for three different companies.

10.You learn about your redundancy on the 11 o'clock news.

11.Your boss doesn't have the ability to do your job.

12.You pull up in your own driveway and use your cell phone to see if anyone is home

13.Every commercial on television has a website at the bottom of the screen.

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

15.You get up in the morning and go online before getting your coffee.

16.You start tilting your head sideways to smile.

17.You're reading this and nodding and laughing.

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

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

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

AND NOW U R LAUGHING at yourself. Go on, forward this to your friends...you know you want to

And #9 (for me) would be: You refuse to get a cell phone because you don't have time to figure out which company has the best deal, let alone which ring tone you want and how to program it.

P. S. I DO have an "emergency" cell phone. Nobody knows the number but me, and I only hope when I need it I've remembered to charge the battery.

Troglodyte that I am, I have refused to get a cell phone. Because I often find telephones sort of intrusive, I certainly don't want to carry one on my body.

And like you, Barb, I can't for the life of me figure out how much they cost from plan to plan. If I ever do, I might just get one and keep the number secret, too.
