Living in 2006

JerseyGal

You know you're living in 2006 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.

AND NOW U R LAUGHING at yourself.

Go on, forward this to your friends. You know you want to.

Haven't done this one, yet. Oh yea, don't like to cook.
Heating stuff up in the microwave isn't cooking??

Oh, I HATE this era! Give me the 60's or 70's and I'll be happy again!

I do NOT own a microwave. (Does that surprise anyone?) If you do, do NOT stand in front of it when it's in use!

Janis,

I'm not surprised. When they first came out, I think that I was in high school. I stayed away from them for years and years and finally caved in about the late 80's, but still refused to heat up my babies food and bottles in there. I also hate to stand in front of photocopy machines and the like. Wonder what this computer screen and my daily blowdrying are doing, not to mention my cell phone?? I also miss the old days. Dang, does this mean we're old??
