The most I've ever had in one month was around ~3k sent...so factor in another ~3k incoming, and I barely break half that. Wow, my thumbs would probably fall off.

Pathetic. I can't believe people let their kids waste that much time with stupid shit like this. I text message my family when there is actually something to say, which is about 5-6 messages a month (incoming and outgoing). Try nudging her toward a productive life like paying attention in school for starters.

Her GPA is 3.8 :)

Of course, thats what all the texting is all about :p (IE, whts #2s answ?)

If she has it linked to her AIM/MSN then I can understand those messages sent. I have mine setup to text w/e messages I get when I'm offline. That could easily give me 500 messages/day if I was offline for a long time. Plus you don't have to text just one you can mass text a bunch of friends one message and they can respond which could account for the high amount of texts.

IDK about you, but I still use/prefer AIM. How old-school of me.

I don't have an unlimited text msg plan and tell people to call me instead... that way at least they only do it when it's important. God I hate talking on the phone too...

You are clearly grasping at straws. Mocking a username pretty much means you are out of legitimate things to say. Watch, I can do it too: 40TruckDriversTrainedMyMom. Also, what is your obsession with the word dude? Please provide one example of when I used the word dude like you just did, 40InchVaginaStretchedOverMyHead.

lol, grasping at straws? I really don't think my last post grasped at anything but ok, dude. I already explained what I wanted to quite a few posts above which you decided to ignore.

I mean really dude, you need to chill out and stop worrying about how some teenage girl decides to talk to her friends.

You're right. I should stop worrying about it. My heart rate was starting to get dangerously high and I've been sweating bullets. By the way, nice use of the opening lol. That plus the combination of your repeated use of the word dude really gives your viewpoint some credibility. It always makes me think of my sister when people do that because she has an emotional instability and usually prefaces her statements with a smiley face, lol, or haha. It has quite an annoying yet immature tone about it. Something for you to think about.

I'm not as well versed as you at vomiting nonsense based on particularly mundane sources of humor, but let me try my hand at it. See what I did there? I'll give you a hand if you didn't get it. It's pretty stupid (and not funny) to overuse a word in someones username, dude.

Ohh your cute when you get a little hissy fit off like that! Opening lol? Yeah because I thought your reply was funny. I didn't know we would have a whole psychology lesson over it! :laugh: It seems my repeated use of the word dude has had an effect on you, as we are now discussing your family issues. :confused: I don't find very many people that will actually legitimately continue a conversation such as this one with me but this is the internet and you meet all types! Thanks for curing my boredom while at work. Later, dude!

:heart:
