Re: Do u text?

I txt a lot. It really is the most convenient way to communicate, in my opinion. I chose 16-43 messages per day, but honestly, I could go a lot higher. Unfortunately, I sometimes end up going my monthly allowance as it is.

I chose 6-15.

It used to be 1 or 2, but I have samsung's blackjack now - the keypad making it so much easier.

We can count the razzle berries too, or whatever mobile device allow texting.

Re: Do u text?

I will often text a friend to see if they are busy before I call to talk. And for passing simple info it is unsurpassed.

Re: Do u text?

I don't text. I pay for minutes. If I want to email, I do it here at the library. Yesterday someone tried to put a virus in "my" machine. They joined my IBasic programmer's site with the intent of selling me "virus software" that wasn't. Working on a public machine has its advantages. Time limit is sometimes a disadvantage, but it limits the time I spend on the net, so I have to be more efficient.

Re: Do u text?

I love to daydream about beating texters' phones to bits

But then I have subordinates at work that hide behind their machines, disappear into rest rooms, etc.etc. to send and read texts when they're supposed to be working I would be ever so happy if it became company policy that "cellys" be left in the front office when not on breaks. It's a Welding shop not an internet cafe...dammit!

Re: Do u text?

sometimes i do, but it must be extremely urgent for me to text, so i said no... because on a daily basis i do not text... and hate the concept of texting.... and everyone that overuses it... not in a bad way, just don't see how an intellectual individual could possibly want to text in most circomstances... takes 3 seconds to say the same thing over the phone, so why spend a minute typing it?
