About Me

In October, 1997, my husband Mark and I, decided to move to Ecuador. We settled in Cuenca, the third largest city. It is nestled in a valley surrounded by the Andes Mountain range. It has been an amazing aventure.

MY VIEW OF TEXT MESSAGES

With modern technology it seems that text messaging is becoming more and more common and used in occasions that a few years ago we would never have thought of using. Personally, I like text messages. They are a quick and easy way to keep in touch. However, there are occasions I feel that a text message is just totally inappropriate and inconsiderate. Here are my thoughts:
  • Never text a get well greeting; A personal call adds that special "I really care" feel;
  • Don't use texting to make a return visit unless you know the person very well and have established a close relationship;
  • NEVER text someone that a loved one has died; That's just too cold and impersonal. Spend the extra $ to call personally.
  • Don't text during mealtimes; make the time to talk and have meaningful conversations with your friends and loved ones.
  • Don't text when at social gatherings unless it is an emergency; you give the impression you rather be with someone else.

These are just my musings and are not meant to offend anyone. If you have a problem with any of the above, just send me a text message...Ha Ha.

    I, for one, am very offended. ;o)
    Heehee, j/k...You are right on the money!

    People need to be learnin' some manners and breakin' some bad habits!

    It would seem like common sense, but this day and age, people can really use reminders like these!
