YOU KNOW YOU ARE LIVING IN 2006 when...


1. You accidentally enter your password on the microwave.

2. You haven't played solitaire with real cards in years.

3. You have a list of 15 phone numbers to reach your family of 3.

4. You e-mail the person who works at the desk next to you.

5. Your reason for not staying in touch with friends and family is that they don't have e-mail addresses.

6. You pull up in your own driveway and use your cell phone to see if anyone is home to help you carry in the groceries.

7. Every commercial on television has a web site at the bottom of the
screen.

8. Leaving the house without your cell phone, which you didn't have the first 20 or 30 (or 60) years of your life, is now a cause for panic and you turn around to go and get it.

10. You get up in the morning and go on line before getting your coffee.

11. You start tilting your head sideways to smile. : )

12. You're reading this and nodding and laughing.

13. Even worse, you know exactly to whom you are going to forward this message.

14. You are too busy to notice there was no #9 on this list.

15. You actually scrolled back up to check that there wasn't a #9 on this list.

AND NOW U R LAUGHING at yourself.

I think they have been doing this since 2000 or something.

For next year, just bump this thread and change "2006" to "2007"

1. Your password on your microwave is the same as the password on your espresso machine, your five-car garage, and the dog security collar.

2. You play solitaire with cards you designed yourself and printed out on your state-of-the-art printer; you got the idea from the solitaire-fanatics forum where you hang out.

3. You secretly have to refer to the manual in order to use your cell phone, because there are so many features that you've accidentally e-mailed your photos to someone instead of calling them too many times.

4. Your headset is on the same frequency as the co-worker whose desk is next to you, and you can talk to each other if you hold your heads "just so".

5. Your reason for not staying in touch with friends and family is that they have AOL email addresses.

6. You pull up in your own driveway and use the OnStar phone to make sure that PeaPod has delivered your groceries so that you can lock the garage, using the password that you'd never remember except it's also the microwave, espresso, dog, etc. password.

7. When you TIVO past the commercials you chuckle because the web site address is the only thing that isn't in fast motion. You wonder if Ad Agencies get some kind of award for making commercials that look best in fast forward.

8. Leaving your house without scrubbing your hands thoroughly, which you thought you knew how to do for the first 20, 30 or 40 years of your life, and needs to be done properly so that you can get through the fingerprint security system at work, is cause for panic, and you turn around and go back and do it properly.

10. You get up in the morning and, before checking your email, you connect to the espresso machine and give it precise instructions as to how you want your morning cup of joe.

11. You notice that there is no number 9. You wonder why, if this list is numbered in Octal, there is a number 8. You wonder what the number system based on number 9 is called and you Google to find it out.

12. From Google: "Base Nine
The Nenets language once used a base-9 system (nonary), but has since shifted to decimal under the influence of Russian. The word yúq originally meant 9, but took the value 10 on account of Russian influence; so in current Nenets the word for 9 is xasu-yúq, lit. 'Nenets yúq', whereas 10 is simply yúq, but in Eastern dialects also lúca-yúq, lit. 'Russian yúq'. "

13. You file this in your mind under interesting information that might come in handy someday; that afternoon, when sipping lukewarm instant coffee at the office, you say "Yuck!" and follow that by saying, "hey, did you know that the Russian word for ten is yuq?"

14. Fortunately, the boss doesn't hear you because the boss is busy trying to figure out how to sort the music that he downloaded to his I-pod.

15. You wonder what the word for base seven is . . .
