YOU KNOW YOU ARE LIVING IN 2006 when…
by tamarjacobson
"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 3.
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 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 NOW U R LAUGHING at yourself.
Go on, forward this to your friends. You know you want to.
Enjoy, and Happy Thanksgiving"

This is so funny — hadn’t seen it before — thanks for sharing!
I’m coming back to make a coherent comment when I stop laughing…
And I am completely guilty of # 10. I admit it freely.
How true, how true! I’ve seen this several times but it continues to evoke a chuckle from me, maybe because I am so guilty of so many of them. It also reminds me how weird I must be – so many of my age have no email and do not want it, and if they have a cell phone, it stays turned off. They say it is for emergency only.
I am totally guilty of no. 5. If someone doesn’t have email, they don’t get invited to my parties or anything. Not out of malice, just out of my laziness.
Dear Joy – how strange. I was leaving a comment on your blog at the exact moment you were leaving one on mine! Thank you.
I loved this Tamar…and am guilty of several of them. I hope you have a warm and wonderful Thanksgiving too Tamar…peace and love to you always.
