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 go home after a long day at work and you still answer the phone in a
businesslike manner.

7. You make phone calls from home and you accidentally dial "9" to get an
outside line.

8. You've sat at the same desk for four years and worked for three different
companies.

10. You learn about your redundancy on the 11 o'clock news.

11. Your boss doesn't have the ability to do your job.

12. You pull up in your own driveway and use your cell phone to see if
anyone is home.

13. Every commercial on television has a website at the bottom of the
screen.

14. 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.

15. You get up in the morning and go online before getting your coffee.

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

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

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

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

20. You actually scrolled back up to check that there wasn't a #9 on thislist.


NOW YOU'RE LAUGHING AT YOURSELF!

GROWING OLDER IS MANDATORY.
GROWING UP IS OPTIONAL.

LAUGHING AT YOURSELF IS THERAPEUTIC

Who would agree with me that it remarkably true to reality. Scary or what?

Sounds like there's more than one of us "special" people out there. Suggest we consider forming a self-help group?

We could meet every night at some ungodly hour? Oh, second thoughts that might not be such a good idea after all :blush:

I'm on the other one, Guernsey. Everyone thinks about Bergerac, but that was Jersey. It's a lot smaller, and more compact.

Been here about 14 years now, and loving it! Trying to find some decent pictures to post on the forum after I found the gallery last night. (Still finding my way around).
