After all the garden is producing a shower of gifts on a daily basis... how to salt them tomatoes, how to garlic fry them beans, and how to preserve the garlic line to keep the Bold Point lineage alive and well.
Lets, just to settle the score present A brief defense of texting, sent in by one of our stalwart Internet friends:
--texting is not meant to substitute for real life communication.
--texting is for making appointments and asking "where are you".
--when asking (or responding to) "where are you", it takes way less time/effort to text than to call.
--if one is seated at a restaurant, or sitting on a train running late to meet a friend at a restaurant, texting provides a way to have the "where are you" conversation without disturbing the strangers around you.
-- People talking on phones are disruptive.
--people texting are generally not disruptive.
--as long as they stand away from footpaths.
--and are not driving.
--it is never OK to answer "where are you" texts when driving
-- if you believe your friend may be driving, it is also not polite to send "where are you" texts
--it is however OK in that case to send "buy milk on your way home" texts as long as the recipient is your significant other who knows to check texts quickly at the stop sign near the grocery store but never while actually driving.
--it is good to know where the people close to you are. Especially if you have reservations or tickets or are staging any sort of heist.
--appointment making is another great use of texts.
--your hairstylist or Pilate's instructor will be disturbed by a ribgibg of a phone call.
--plus, everyone hates listening to voicemail.
--send a text!
--any apps available this sat after 2pm--Jim Johnson
--can't do class Thurs -is the asstastic class on for sun? Room 4 me?--Jim Johnson
--try calling it "messaging" instead of texting and see if that helps.
--if you don't want to hear incoming texts beep, set phone to vibrate.
--ooh, vibrate.
--that way one doesn't even know a text was sent until they are ready.
--when they are ready, there it is. At least it's not a voicemail!
--"my thumbs are too big for the keys" is poor excuse. Be able-bodied. Use your index finger.
so there we have it... I still say i have beer in the fridge, food in the garden and a shotgun in the drawer. Actually i don't have a shotgun... these crazy wives are against shotguns.
Maybe I'll get a plan for my cell phone... is there an app that reminds yourself to punch yourself in the face if you turn into some cellphone punching jackass every second you have downtime, which of course removes the possibility of downtime? I just don't like the bad with the good. And then to pay for the bad is equally annoying, on principle of course. Principle is everything, if there is no principle there is no path, like religion but more sane like.
Know yourself, know what you can handle and what you can't. I have never commuted by car to work since i was 23 teaching Chemistry and Physics in a high school in Toronto. I will never commute by car to work again, it's just not in me. Many people do it, and many are happy to do it, i would be a cloud of rage... i would hate myself for allowing myself to be in that position. I believe i am responsible for everything that happens to me.
i might rethink my television aversion... You see we went camping with a pack of fine families and i happened to lead a bunch of old classic campfire songs which sent the kids into a frenzy, perhaps causing some adults some pain in the regurgitation of a few certain songs over and over again, but in the end i made a few new friends... some kids, and one of the kids knew a lot about nature and the shit he knew was right. i asked him where he learned all that stuff and he told me it was nature TV shows... he knew his stuff, when he called a call it was on the money. I have kept my kids from television because of all of the obvious over the top bullshit it entails. But there is a tool there provided the right direction is enforced. I kind of have a bit more of a hands off parenting style, and my kids do art all day and write stories and make up games, but perhaps and hour of nature television programming might be good for them... the question is can i ward off the bullshit princess programming that runs insipid in our society? Hey be a pretty girl with a nice dress and then maybe someday a prince will complete you and you will live happily ever after.
Be smart, live right and form a good team with your partner cause life ain't going to get any easier. We are on the downward curve of the human cycle... just listen to the nonsense the people in charge of society are spewing, it's bat shit crazy!
