Aww, that's cute! :lol:

My aunt who is 70 has recently started texting. She's even doing the "u" and "r" abbreviations which is funny because I won't even do that.

My grandmother always sends a blank text before the actual text. I have no idea why or how, but she's been doing it since she started and she's gone through a ton of phones since then. Always the same issue. Part of me thinks she's doing it just to mess with us, haha.

My mother is 76. I have her on my phone plan. She can text more than all three daughters. Back before there was unlimited texting, she ran our bill up over $1000. I'm not kidding. This was about 5 years ago. She would text and text and she would use all these abbreviations too. I had no idea what any of them meant. And...she's lost more phones than all three of the girls put together. She still texts me in hieroglyphs. I don't get it. I get a text from her that starts like this... 1 of 5... then 2 of 5...then 3 of 5... then I call her and the phone is still beeping from the texts coming in. I try to explain to her that she can just simply call me instead of writing an epic saga in text messages. A text is something short, not a freaking book! She writes a book in her text messages. And her text messages are always about who died that day and how I'm related to them. And I never have a clue who they are! She loves her phone though! What do I love?? Caller ID!!

hahaha... I'm on a desk top. I don't have an iphone. Haven't seen the point in getting one because I lose phones, sort of like my mother but not as bad. I did however just win an ipad in a raffle. I've yet learned how to use it other than netflix though. :)
