at least you were not texting your wife when she is in the car with you. That's like calling her from the other end of the couch right Rick?

I have a flash drive connected to the USB so I can play hours of music. We had XM but that wasn't worth what they were asking to renew. The weather app would be nice but I would rather use it on a tablet with a larger screen. I had a smart phone through work for a while but even when not paying for data I never used it for much. It was easier to keep up with my email though. I only check email every month or two. I CAN text my wife with my current phone but would rather call.

Depends on who's around and what you are trying to say.

Pre-screen email using my phone and 9 of ten emails can be deleted or answered with the phone.

Also have several famby members that only communcate via texts. Don't understand, an actual phone call would take so much less time.

If it isn't something quick my usual answer to a text is call me.

Often my wife is in the living room and I am in my home office or in the garage. We send each other text messages even though we are just a few yards apart.

Ha ha ha, Our safety department is sending me invitations to take scissorlift training classes. Told them I would be happy to, but don't have my fork lift license yet. Now they don't know what to do!

The guy they are trying to send the invites to doesn't have email but does have a fork lift license.

Just tell them you don't need a scissor lift at home right now.

Sounds like us. Sometimes they want to send an email to everyone when I remind them we have 430ish employees and are using 210 mailboxes. Something doesn't add up there people.

You all have a good weekend. Supposed to be sunny here and above frozen precipitation temps.

So what happens when you park under an old maple tree and there is heavy wind? I'll save ya the trouble it does a lot of damage to the rear end of a Mercedes
I am livid right now since this was a totally avoidable situation

Mannnn that is no good. At those moments I keep telling myself "**** it, only a car (or whatever it is)". Hope you feel better.
