Textual addiction

[Mom]

Adult products like Voltaren and the 1.5 reading glasses from the $2 shop really improved my txts....

Oh ha ha, I simply cant read a friggen thing now without my specs. I am yet to fully own it however. How many more times do I need to not be able to read something and not have my glasses with me do you reckon? I can actually see myselft with them on a bit of string around my neck.

[Mom]

No, nothing yet mate. You had the street addy eh? I have not checked the P O Box for a week or so.

Mental notes on paper save my bacon most days. That is, IF I remember to read them

I hate txting,1/2 way through i just give up and ring instead.

What he said.

Txting is a fucking slow way to communicate. Takes minutes of easily misunderstood to-ing and fro-ing to achieve the same result you can get from a 20-second phone conversation.

It has its uses, but I suspect its prevalence among young people boils down to the fact that it encourages easy expression; they probably wouldn't be coherent or self-confident enough to communicate to that extent when speaking on the phone.

Exactly right. I recall ringing a young kiwibiker "texter" a while back and she was lost for words.

Two ways to take that....

I had the pleasure of once seeing a txter so busy he didnt see the lampost coming and ka-boom into it he walked,fark i laughed,dropped his phone lost his baseball cap and fell on his arse.

[Headbanger]

Thats alright, I have a dream, One day I'll take all this bling I am accumulating and buy a boat with it....and sail away.....

I have just been informed that Kiwibiker bling cannot be redeemed for cash, goods or services, So....thats another dream crushed.

Ok you lot own up. Who among us is addicted to texting?

Was jawing away with a mate today, catching each other up on our kids as you do. She was laughing because one of her daughters is complaining she exceeded her 2000 text limit in a month! Far out, how do you send that many texts.

..

Not hard. I usually run around 1000 a month.

Speak for yourself, grandad. I bet when u txt u spell all the words out like a dictionary. And no, it's not a fucking slow way. It's a very fast way. Cos you don't have to put up with the waste of time while the phone rings, goes to voice mail, someone else answers , "oh I'll find him " , "Oh I can't find him" blah blah blah waste time waste time.

With txting you say exactly what you need 2 say , and outta there. Simple easy convenient.

Txt is the way of the future. I don't know how ppl evr managed to communicate without it.

I got a txt today from Vodafone saying that my TXT2000 will renew tomorrow. Well it wont because i dont have credit LOL. But this thread got me to check how many txts i actually had left. I had 1259 left! Jesus. I thought i txt alot... Maybe not
