I stole this from the eMusings eMailbag and highlighted the items that were true for me!
YOU KNOW YOU ARE LIVING IN 2007 when…
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
I am definitely living in 2007! Are you?
Very funny 🙂
After problems I had this past week with the computer and Internet….I couldn’t help but recall the days “BC”…before computers. It seems I had SO much more time back then, more hours to my day.
And yet….I’ve been sucked into the vortex of technology like so many others. A day without reading a blog? No more emails from friends and family? Waiting for snail mail in the mailbox?
Hmmm….not sure I could return to that either. So yeah….guess I’m totally into 2007….for good or bad.
Laugh out loud!!
They are all GOOD but #10 really hit home!!
I have to have my coffee in the morning but the internet comes first!!
I definitely do #10, and I call home after leaving the grocery to ask for help. Very funny!
14 and 15 pegged me exactly ! That’s a funny list, but, alas, it’s too true. Life WAS easier back when…but not as much fun.
All of these apply to me.
Most of these apply to me. But, I still have to have my coffee first. I may have it while sitting at my computer, however.
I have to check a lot of those off for me Claude. Most of us would be lost without our connection to computers and the internet…I know I would. The one constant in our lives…is change….even if we’re not always initially comfortable with it.
Guilty as charged!!!! lmao
I especially identify with #9! I guess I have to admit to living in 2007 but with erratic, no fixed time, for visiting the Internet. Am still trying to effectively set a specific limited time in which to do so.
