• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

I can quite happily say that I have never sent a text message in my life. I don't have a cell phone nor am I ever likely to need one.

My wife and daughters on the other hand are a different kettle of fish! :isadizzy:
 
Rather not know what teens are saying. Us older people also have a secret language: normal mature conversation!

Do you happen to have a full size copy?



Bookmarked here as well.
 
I also do not "text" or respond to such messages and have told everyone I know to simply call me if they want to communicate. I just don't see the attraction -

:kilroy:

If you include yourself in "older people" I must be living in denial:kilroy:
Like yourself though I am a proponent of normal, mature conversation. Others have mentioned that they don't text, don't need to text etc. - I too am a member of this club, have never owned a cell phone, not even a camera you know the ones that take still pictures let alone a camcorder. Being old-fashioned I have to try and keep up with new trends without the usual gadgets, maybe I'm just too nosy.:icon_lol:

PS: Now I know what ttfn stands for :guinness:
 
I use my cell much like Henry does. Most of the time I don't even carry it with me unless I'm going to be away from Mrs Willy for a bit. Besides, I rarely ever get a call on it.
