--- Quote ---Brewman, I have to tell you, I got into texting because my sister is hearing impaired. You can not believe how tough it is to converse with someone who hears only a fraction of what you are saying. Even the best cell phones that are rated for hearing aids are not good enough to get a quick message to some people. I can access her when ever I need to and she can get quick messages to me if she needs anything. Verizon allows you to text through their website so her children's teachers can get her from their computers when they need to.
When we went to Florida in September, the text package was a real blessing. She was babysitting my dog and my son was thrilled to have a picture of Maggy every morning and every night. It assured him that she was safe and happy! So, I think texting has it's place, just not in the car and not to totally replace conversation.
I was thinking the other day about the initial reason that I posted this (my son's first date)...A few years ago, I probably would have at least had the opportunity to hear this first date's voice. With caller ID, I probably would know her last name and by her phone exchange, I could get a general idea of where she lives. Since everything is done by cell phones between kids, no one needs to call "the house" anymore.. :( This really limits my snooping ;D ;D

I suppose for the hearing issues, texting is a blessing. I was more going after what I consider useless text messaging. I see it all the time. People sitting right next to each other sending texts! I am convinced that used like it is by many, it's dumbing down the population. And why does it have to cost additional to the phone minutes we already pay for? And it costs both to send and to recieve. That just isn't right to me.

Orange cones in a parking lot....
Cue the Brady Bunch song, with an egg on top of the cone, and the great Greg/Marcia rivalry..... ;D

LOL, when my son got his permit 2 weeks ago we chuckled about that episode. I still think Greg should have won!!
Brewman:
Greg didn't win the great drive off, but he did prevail on who got the room in the attic.
Anyone else notice that there is a staircase inside the Brady house going up to the second floor, where all the bedrooms were, and from there another staircase that led to Greg's attic room, but on the opening credits of the show, the Brady house exterior view is clearly of a one story house?
I don't think that one dawned on me till I'd seen a few thousand re-runs.

Aha, my wife and I know the show pretty well and this has come up before. There was a reference in an early show making it impossible for a livable attic to be there in the first place. Sure enough I found a site on line from someone who apprarently has even less of a life than we do has this covered:
