I'm on myspace as well, haven't gotten into facebook. Myspace, twitter, and livejournal are enough for me. My grandmother always tells me that my generation must have just had all this technology programmed into us at birth. It's just comes so easily to us and people her age have the toughest time learning how to use the computer or a cellphone.

I don't tweet, twitter, or whatever the heck you call it! I can't work a fancy cell phone - but I did set up a facebook page a couple of days ago. I'm still not sure what the hell I'm doing tho!!

I havent joined the twitter bandwagon. i did just sign up with facebook, which im hooked on. I have found so many people i went o high school with on there, and had a blast talking the past with them. I'll look you up on there! My five year old son was at my grandmothers a couple months ago playing with anything and everything and picked up the rotary dial phone she still had, a very sturdy and heavy black behemoth of a phone and looked at sriously for a second and asked me who stole the buttons. it was too cute. i showed him how it wokrd and he thought i was kidding him, he just laughed and said i was silly. Kids are cute cool post. happy tweeting. jody hi Jillian.

First off TWITTER IS NOT LAME!!! Not that I use it, but I do like to stop at the twitter site on the net to read what people are talking about. (And exactly how else would I know what my hottie Nathan has to say if I didn't check it daily. ) hahahahaha Seriously, it's like a two minute read. I can't be bothered to have all the latest new fangled toys on the market. That's too tiring as well as expensive. I got an mp3 player for Xmas and I still don't know how to load music onto it! UGH... MSN is Microsoft Network and they have a messenger just like AOL's IM is. It works the same way, but I happen to like MSN's better. And if I am correct your web browser is part of your search engine. (just by another name.) I think the most common one used is Internet Explorer. But don't quote me on that. I'm not 100% on the tech talk but I can squeak by if need be. But things change so fast, it's hard to keep up. -Pam Hi Juliet!

There's music on the other side? And I've also gotten, "Did they have grocery stores/cars/electricity/you name it when you were little?" I was so insulted at first. Of COURSE they did! But I guess from their perspective, "when their mom was little" seems like thousands of years ago. :-( Oh wow, I don't think my kids have ever seen a rotary dial phone! I'll have to try to find one and show them. I tell ya, the times, they change too fast sometimes. Oh, I’ve gotten that question too, Liz! There’s music on the other side?

Fun to "see" you here! Oh, I never thought about the reason WHY teens didn't DO Twitter. That makes sense! And thanks for the article, I'm going to go check it out now. And my kids do at least know better than to ask me to "follow" some one FOR them. That won't happen. I'm one of those "Mean" moms like my mother was. You're prob not old enough to remember the "mean" mom description from Ann Landers. I'll have to post a link here if I can find it. Have a great day and thanks for coming by! Hi Katie!

See? I'm still behind the times. :-$ and yeah, I know what you mean about our grandparents. I love love to read Historicals, where people used a chamber pot and had to light a candle to see at night and think how quaint and romantic, but then I read an account from my grandfather's diary about how freezing cold he was when he woke up and had to go put wood in the stove and light it before the room would heat up enough to get dressed. And That sounds barbaric! I like my heat and A/C thank you very much. I guess it's all what you're used to. I don't get on Twitter very much, not even every day, so hopefully it wont become too much of a time sucker. I DO have a deadline tomake. Thanks for coming by today! HI Laney,
