Do you have scars and lumps on your forehead? Do you frequently complain of neck pain and have blurred vision? How many times a week do you walk on someone’s heals? Do you walk off curbs and into intersections and only realize your mistake because of the screeching tires and breaking glass? (Or worse: “How often do you bump into people knocking them off the curb into oncoming busses?”) If you answered “yes” to four of these five questions you have an 80% chance of being a “texting” addict. Do you ever look up from your Blackberry long enough to see that the crowd you are walking with all have the same condition? Have you broken your nose more than once? Do you have blisters on your thumbs? Do you frequently loose track of your kids at the playground? I am so sorry----but if you answered yes to two of these last four questions, you are a texting addict----a “POSTER.” So watch out for that light pole---only 12 steps to go---the nose you save could be your own! Now go and see your chiropractor---- ----I know you have one.
Did anyone ever ask you if you know Oblio?

My WORDLESS WEDNESDAY pictures and some selected POEMS & STORIES.
I lost my blackberry a year ago and decided to bury it when I found it. Very liberating. I still have a cell phone, but don't like texting one bit!
why do I have the feeling that you are writing directly from experience?
Larry, the problem is that if you want to stay in touch with anyone under 25---YOU HAVE TO TEXT:)
Alan---yes but that little old lady that got hit by the bus is almost better now---she is back to texting again:)
Trouble reading while I am texting this comment...watch out for the steps....ouch!
Margaret, I bet everyone could add something that happens to people during texting---how about landing on their face at the top of the escalator?
Charles, We do have meetings every Wednesday for this affliction...
My hubby sold cars last month to 2 people who totalled their car while texting.
Isn't there a website that turns voice into text???
I have never texted in my life thankfully. Heck I only got a cell phone (all it does is make and receive calls) a little more then a year ago, and I got it as a gift.
Everyone send Dan a text, so he will know his phone gets those.
And no Charles, I'm not. I have more fingers and toes than I have sent text messages. I am an email junkie, but I can't see those tiny little letters on my phone too good.
Paul, time and place?
Teresa, I think we will be hearing a lot more of that.
Dan it will be interesting to see what happens with texting over the next few years
Tammy---the emails I can deal with----I have these giant gecko fingers that make small keyboards a pain.
Charlie,
I was riding with someone the other day who said it is legal to text in one's car in this state but not to talk on the phone. I do not know that this person is correct. I also do not know that they are wrong.
Guess they should have included texting in the cell phone law.
Charles, you described my daughter to a T. Once in a while I have to remind her to look up from the phone when approaching the stairs.
Charles, what's really funny is to see two agents texting walk around the corner and run into each other! LOL
Jack, if you watch crowds of people it doesn't take long to see something funny related to texting.
Maria---too funny.
I am kind of surprised I didn't get more responses to this post----maybe it hits too close to home?----even though it is for the most part tongue placed firmly in cheek:)
Charlie - LOL. Too funny, but true. And, I'm guiltya s charged!
I expect a lot of people might see themselves in this:)
I have never texted. I wonder if I ever will...
Jay, don't ask "if" ask "when"
