Having something funny - makes a loss so much easier . When my dad died .... I was devistated. My heart was ripped out. At the funeral home - my niece's water broke - her first baby . Everybody started panicing & scrambling around her - we completely forgot about my dad .... LOL .... I know my dad was "up there" laughing .... I'm happy when I can see alittle bit of sunshine in a sad situation.

"So how does one text? I would love to learn - anyone want to post the instructions?" Basically, you just bring up the menu, then choose "Message." Choose "Text" for the type. Depending on your model phone, you "address" the message by pulling from a "recently used" list, or you can type in the phone number, or you can bring up your list of phonebook/contact names and choose from the list. Then you put the cursor into the area where you enter the text and type out your message. If you have a phone with a "QWERTY" keyboard, you type it just as you would on a typewriter or computer keyboard. If you have a phone where you use the "number keypad," you have to press the "2" key three times before you'd get a "c" or the "3" key twice to get an "e," and so on. Usually pressing the "star" key brings up a selection of things like a period, comma, hyphen, question mark, etc. When you're done entering the text, you push the appropriate key/button to "Send."

Funny (and kinda sad) situation.

Ohhh...that's too bad! Yes, I can picture the family in swimsuits, inflatable toys, towels, flip flops, etc. Hope Plan B was fun, whatever it was. I guess we think when we don't see kids often, they don't grow or change, and we expect them to look the same as before! Our nephew stopped by and I almost didn't recognize him--he has turned into a very mature, handsome young man. So I know how surprised you were.

texting funny
Q

I agree that the pic is funny. And, though our province recently enacted heavy fines and penalties for using a hand-held cell phone for talking (plus texting and other uses) while driving, many of us feel that using a hands-free one is only minimally less serious than having the handset in hand, for the major problem is, according to our way of thinking, the distraction when one's thoughts are occupied by the subject of the conversation. Modern driving, especially in urban areas, requires full concentration. In this cartoon, it would seem fairer if the vehicle that the driver doesn't see, having his/her mind preoccupied with other things, comes at the car under consideration toward the driver's door rather than that where the passenger sits. On only a slightly different subject ... Christians are an odd lot, one thinks - they go on at great length about what a great place Heaven is ... ... but how many have you ever met who were in any hurry to get there? Good wishes for a weekend that fulfills some of your desires. ole joyful

That is really sad, and I see MANY peeps texting on the highway - not good. I learned to text when my very dear Mother was in the hospital in 2009 & we (her eight kids) were trying to share info quickly. It really helped to learn how to communicate quickly among the eight of us!

There was a 16 year old girl here that got her driver's license and a week later she was killed using her cell while driving. Her father was interviewed the next day and suggested young people learn from his daughter's death and maybe her death would save another young person.

In today's paper it showed a B-52 which was able to land without a problem due to texting. They lost one of the engines over MT, and due to being out of radio range was to text, which they did. They had to shut down the engine. Interesting! This was in the Minot Daily News.

A follow up to my earlier post - there was a real tragic issue locally - I think about 5 years ago 5 girls - seniors in high school - were killed in a car accident near graduation time and the investigation led to the conclusion that the driver had been texting to friends in a car behind them. Convenient, but only at the right time and in the right place.

Texting while driving in my opinion is no different than drunk driving.Every week I hear about another fatal car accident caused by somebody texting. You see it at red light intersections now all the time..light turns green and people just sit there because they are texting instead of paying attenion.The fines associated for texting while driving are stupid. The first time fine should be $1000.00 maybe then they'll get the message.

Personally I don't text. PERIOD. Not in my plan. If someone texts me, I delete it without opening it. Then I call, and ask: What did you want? I don't text.

I don't text either, I even had it took off my phone so I wouldn't get any. I get so scared when someone is behind me and I see them texting. That's a rearending looking to happen.
