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.

Okay you two, knock it off.

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:

I bet she's the type who replys to a voice mail by text message.

Some people just don't like to use their voice anymore or are more comfortable communicating by text because it's less confrontational.

Every lifer who posts here saying this is ridiculous, speak for yourself ;)

Yes because 4 posts per day, or one every 6 hours, is definitely the same as texting once every 3 minutes. This thread is really bringing all of the idiots out of the woodwork.

eh idk, if you tell someone you have over 10k posts on a computer forum, what will they think

:thumbsup:

seriously, think about. they are spending the only time they have--and the majority allow themselves--to actually learn, by making themselves dumber. these kids raised on the internets and cell phones may be tech saavier than the majority of teens when we were their age...but not one of them can spell.

Any one else have a teenager that takes "unlimited" to this extent?

idk my bff jill?

idk my bff rose!

I have no idea wtf that means... :confused:

It's from a commercial where a grandma is texting. idk = I don't know and bff = best friend forever. The bffn derivation means best friends for now. Sounds like a girl made up that one.

Bah! That's nothing. I attached a generator to my son's fingers. When he texts, it produces energy for my house. I'm selling electricity back to the electric company now, making a profit.

At our school, if we catch a student with a cell phone in class, it's taken to the office. Only the *parent* may pick it up. Office closes at 4:00 or 4:30. The most recent text messages are read.

Good. That's how it should be. I wouldn't even want kids on their phones walking down the hall to another class.

I have a friend that puts out 500 incoming/outgoing text messages a day. I don't get it, if you're going to text someone that much, why not just call them and save time and energy?

i believe that's possible because one of my friend does that. he puts everyone on this group and sends messages to everyone. we all hate him of course, since we old folk dont have no text plan!
