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.

Update

The drought is officially over and the river levels are back to normal. They are still rationing the electricity, so everyday for 2 to 3 hours we have no power. That should be until the end of February.
