Reasons to be cheerful!

Yes but you must of imparted some ancient male knowledge to your son.
I'm glad I didn't have to do that because I'd have had to fake it.

[Firebird]

I'm entirely ignorant of this, was the fear appropriate or has free enterprise got itself a new thing?

Good question. My mother claims the latter

On my way to work this morning I stopped at my regular coffee shop for cup o' joe, and there was a small group of retirees sitting having coffee together.
These gentlemen are at the shop quite often, and I have spoken to them numerous times, they are very kind and polite, funny and well liked in the shop.

This morning one of the three gents was discussing apps for the iPhone, and was explaining how you go about downloading these from the Appstore. Apparently one of the other guys just got a new iPhone and wasn't that familiar with it.

After listening to his friend he said, "Okay so I have to go to the Apple Store and get this app? Well it will have to wait because I don't have the time to drive all the way out there" (We don't have an Apple Store very close to our neighborhood)

The first guy said, "No, not the Apple Store, the AppStore".

"Well', said the second guy, "Is this App Store closer to us than the Apple Store?"

At this point I laughed, along with the other two guys and the first guy said to me, "See what I have to go through, he'll be calling me at all hours trying to figure this phone out"..."You big dummy, the AppStore is on your phone, here let me show you again".

This had me smiling all morning, reminded me of that commercial with the woman who has pictures taped to the actual wall in her house because she thinks that's how Facebook works, have you seen it?

And at the end she tells her friend, "I unfriend you" and the other lady says, "But that's not how it works, it's not how any of this works".

That's a nice story, Bruno. 
Now I must confess. This is so embarrassing.  I have never owned a cell phone. 
I've seen them from far away, and I've touched them...they're soooo smooth.  ...But I've never actually owned one. I barely graduated to a microwave. It's embarrassing to share this with all of you, but at the same time, it's sooooo liberating!
Oh, why the hell not?! I still watch movies on my VCR!!! Yes, I do!
You know what that means, right? If I don't have a cell phone....I still use, "A little Black Book!" That's right, I do! 

[Buddy]

Oh boy I don't know what I would do without my phone. Between that and my iPad I haven't touched a desktop computer in months.

You should buy one with a limited data package, then your opinion on gifs may change

Even if I stopped posting gifs today, everyone else ( Davin, Bruno, Budhorse4, Apathy, even Tank and Crow, etc) would continue to post them, so your problem wouldn't be solved. 

I would also like to see people stop doing some things in the world, but I don't think that's not gonna happen.

[Buddy]

I do try to limit my use in respect for other people. I also have a limited data plan (plus I share with 3 other people) on my phone, so I can see how annoying it is. I just like gifs because it's a good way to show tone in the text, which is something that I struggle with sometimes.

[Magdalena]

I think Davin, Bruno and I have 'toned-it-down' a little bit, but then Apathy came, and it just went downhill from there--again. 

[Buddy]

Yeah I tend to forget a lot, especially when I've been on tumblr a lot which uses gifs like punctuation.

Oh! My! God!
I want to go there!!!
Where is that!?
I am dying to post a gif right now. But I won't.

I find it absolutely amazing to find out you don't have a cell phone, nor have never owned one. I mean this is even more amazing than when someone you really know admits to you that they never watched the Godfather before, or even stranger a guy I know in his mid-senenties has never, not even one fucking time tasted coffee....how is that even possible?

Butt even that is not as bizarre as Magdalena not owning a cell phone...sorta makes my ban of you yesterday, you know the "Back in My Day Ban" even more relevant.

By the way Magdalena do you use a rotary phone at home?

Sorry, I know, a 'cheap' gif.

Anyways, yes, that's why your post yesterday made me nervous. 
I already told you about the vacuum, so as you can see, I'm not lying.
I don't have a rotary phone, but I do pay for a 'home phone.' Some people find that strange.
