Terry,
It is frustrating isn't it? I hate abbreviations myself, I have learned a lot of them in the last year or two but still lack in knowledge of them, I am not to lazy to spell it out, I am not a texter and have no patience for those who are, ever sit at the doctors office or restaurant and watched a full grown man type on his phone the whole time >:( anyway ttt and bump really mean the same thing, the poster wants his or the post at the top of the page so it gets noticed, so
(to the top) or ttt or bump is used. The abbreviations are really ridiculous (IMHO) in my humble opinion but there not going away so I guess start learning if you want to be able to understand.

I write few texts, but I am a fan. That fellow in the doctor's office could have bee having a cell phone conversation of the same length, in a voice that was loud enough to be heard by everyone in the room. The one issue that I have is with those that text while driving...addicted idiots.

And no wonder the Post Office is going broke. No one writes letters anymore. :(
Bad enough when a business you're dealing with wants your Email address and your cell phone number.
My cell phone number? What for? I never turn it on.
Got an answering machine at home to screen my calls. That "really" chaps their hides! ;)
 
You should see the strange looks I get when I tell them that I don't have a cell phone.

After Hurricane Ike I was one of 5 people in the neighborhood that had phone service....old fashioned land line.
 
Roger,
I will be LMAO the rest of the day after reading your post that was good ;)


Boyd,
As per usual your right, I have a cell phone as my job requires me to have it, however how did we survive in years past without texting or talking while in the waiting rooms, while walking down the sidewalks and driving ??? ::) totally ridiculous IMHO I was at the barber shop the other day when the guy in the chair got a cell phone call because he was to ignorant or rude to turn it off and he TOOK IT >:( if I was the barber I would have nicked him to the scalp in several places. The other day I was at a nice restaurant and there was a birthday party there, at one end of the table there were several children from maybe 4-10 years of age they ALL had cell phones and were texting I thought it was odd children that age had cell phones, I found it even odder they were texting each other,...YES EACH OTHER and they weren't over 1' apart from one another what is this world coming too! When I was that age my father taught me silence was golden and speak when spoken to, otherwise keep you mouth SHUT. Maybe there fathers thought them the same so let your fingers do the talking ;D OMG LMAO @ the stupidity IMHO of course FWIW anyway :)
Wayne.
 
I live in a "dead zone" and have folks asking to use my "land line" because their cell phone won't work. ::)
What is this society going to do if the SHTF? No power, no cell phones. How will they survive? Maybe they'll have to actually brake down and talk to somebody face to face? ::) It could happen? ??? At least they won't have any cell phone bills. ;)
