I QUIT!

Text-messaging that is.

An hour ago I received a text message from Margaret in Fort Worth.

With a handful of text messaging experience under my belt, I decide to get fancy and return her text message with a text message: "Let's get together in August!" I type.

Ten minutes later I receive a text message from Nina in Las Vegas who responds with a text-message: "Sounds great! See you then!"

Quickly realizing my error, though relieved it is Nina I just invited to spend time with, I return a text message back to Nina: "Thank you for the birthday card!" I write.

Only to receive a text message back from Stan in New Zealand telling me he didn't know it was my birthday and didn't send me a card.

If this is an indication of what lies ahead for me today, I think I should just go back to bed and cover up my head.

Does this mean you don't want a blackberry anymore? Does the blackberry get the raspberry?
(Oh, I just think I'm so clever).....groan.

groaaann. heheheehe!

Oh i DO want that. Or, even better, the iphone. I will just hafta LEARN how to text-message. That's all. (By the way, Nina in Las Vegas called me the following day, teasing me as she knew my message was meant for someone else). Everyone's a card! :O)

I think I have managed to send only one normal text message to the person it was actually meant to go to in my life.
There was the time I got totally pissed at the stupid thing, pounded on a bunch of buttons randomly and then threw the phone on the bed.
I received a text message from my husband with an urgent 'Call me!'
Apparently he had received something like this:
lakd fjdkiekd a! akdire
and thought that maybe I was in serious medical distress.

Oh Rayne. Isn't that typical. Your husband, (who apparently lost his voice) was so worried about you that he took the time to type out a message requesting that YOU call HIM in the moment of your possible medical distress.

We live in a very funny world.

(glad you were okay!) :O)

Wow, I'm so glad I don't text messg. I have enough typos just on the internet. I can't imagine the enemies, harm, chaos I would cause with misspelled words and misdirected messages.
