Today’s Blog Post
MIDDLE AGE TEXTING CODES
The other day I felt the desperate desire to Text Message some one. I have been getting better at it and I really wanted to send some one a Text Message.
During the day I had been Texting some business contacts as we find it much better than calling and leaving endless messages on the phone for each other. In one situation we had both returned each others calls three times – calling each other back over and over again… but neither one was in the office. Texting on the other hand had immediately delivered the message and the answer that was needed was there – pronto!
But in my immediate need to Text some of my friends… had to be dropped. My friends are so darn old that they never have taken that step to Text any one. They just don’t know how.
Worse yet… if we tried to Text each other we wouldn’t get the message content most of the time. The cryptic messages are just too much for old minds to sort out. They are all from the “funny license plate” era. Just too darn old to learn something new things.
The second major problem is that they do carry cell phones… each one owns a phone. But their idea is to turn it on when they go out – but never give the number to anyone. It is to be used only in an emergency.
If there was an emergency no one could call them because no one has their number. That is pretty safe I guess.
But if they were in an emergency… say the car was in an accident… the car had rolled over… the car had been hit on the side – or front – or back – the contents of her purse is so bad that they couldn’t find the cell phone with their two broken arms and dislocated shoulder.
Their cell phones are useless… for old people that is.
Well another old person just included me in a posting of suggested Text Messaging for middle age people. Here it is….
MIDDLE AGE TEXTING CODES:
ATD - at the doctor.
BFF - best friend fell.
BTW - bring the wheelchair.
BYOT - bring your own teeth.
FWIW - forgot where I was.
GGPBL - gotta go, pacemaker battery low.
GHA - got heartburn again.
IMHAO - is my hearing aid on?
LMDO - laughing my dentures out.
OMMR - on my massage recliner.
ROFLACGU - rolling on floor laughing and can't get up.
TTYL - talk to you louder!
Now if you would like to Text Message me you need to call me. I don’t give the number to just anyone you know. Some “perv” might see it in this posting and call me no reason at all.
Sheesh!
