Fexting

Generation Z, or Zoomers which none of them like to be called, have come up with a new way for couples, or friends, to fight, or have a heated arguments, without being next to each other.

Yes, in ancient times you could have received snail mail which took weeks or months to get, then penned your own scribbles to confront the offender and wait weeks or months to hear back from them.

When every home finally had a phone hanging on their wall, you could confront the offender immediately if they answered your call. While you hoped no one was listening in on the party line.

(A real thing, look it up) 

Now Gen Z.

Where people text each other when they are in the same room instead of talking to each other have decided the best way for couples or friends to argue is to go off to their own little corners or rooms and text their arguments to each other.

It's happening all over the world and I have a hard time understanding,

why?

They are missing out on the joys of getting beat up by an older brother, getting a frying pan to the face, a shoe to the forehead, or arrested because everyone points at you and says, "He Started it." to a police officer even though you had just walked into the bar.

What sweet memories!

 “What’s not so great is that all this technology is destroying our social skills. Not only have we given up on writing letters to each other, we barely even talk to each other. People have become so accustomed to texting that they’re actually startled when the phone rings. - Ellen DeGeneres -

It's Friday, Laugh A Little

About a decade ago I got an invitation to appear on the program

Judge Judy

  because I was suing someone for $800.

My second eldest daughter said,

"No, you can't go. They'll put you in Jail for saying something stupid! Cause you never stop talking"

(True Story)

Why do they bother saying "raw" sewage?

Do some people cook that stuff?

I failed my driver's test yesterday.

The Instructor asked me,

"What do you do at a red light?"

I said,

"Look around, bob my head, and listen to the radio."

Let me ask you something.

If someone is lying,

are their pants really on fire?

Only two things are infinite,

the universe

and human stupidity.

And I'm not so sure about the universe.

People in hell.

Where do they tell someone to go?

I always think about how we measure success in our lives.

This is what I came up with.

At age 4 success is not pissing in your pants.
At age 12 success is having friends.
At age 18 success is having your driver's license.
At age 35 success is having money.
At age 50 success is having money.
At age 70 success is having your driver's license.
At age 75 success is still having friends.
At age 80 success is not pissing in your pants.

 

The difference between stupidity

and genius is that genius has its limits.

The other day,

my youngest son asked me how do you spell the word

"future."

When spelling a word,

I usually spell it out by saying two letters at a time,

then pause,

then another two letters,

and so on.

So I started with,

"F-U."

And he said,

"Fine! You don't have to be rude about it!"

And If You Can Fake That
You Have Got It Made

"Why do Jewish men die before their wives? They want to."
"Why don't Jews drink? It interferes with their suffering."

Are You Going To Pay

Ah Twitter. Elon Musk's White Whale. Are you going to pay a monthly fee to stay on Twitter to help bail out another Billionaire? Oh wait, people already pay for $4.99 a month for Twitter Blue, which is going up to $7.99 a month now that Elon owns it. Blue is the verification method used to prove who you are. I guess auto-bots just don't have the cash to spend on their fake accounts.

And I really thought George Clooney was following me too!

I think Jennifer can offer a little more insight than I.

 Jennifer Jolly Special to USA TODAY

I lost way too much of my life to the drama unfolding on Twitter this past week — heck, even just in the past hour. Nearly everything Elon Musk tweets out these days seems to raise my blood pressure — and my hackles. Some of it is immature bro-culture “jokes” that aren’t funny. Pro tip: When you have to point out that something’s “funny,” it’s not. There’s also a definite troll-vibe to a lot of what he’s putting out, like calling credible news sources “fake,” while tweeting — then later deleting — a horrific conspiracy theory about the brutal hammer attack on Paul Pelosi, husband of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. Hate speech has skyrocketed on Twitter since Musk took the helm too. According to Bloomberg, there was a 1,300% increase in a racist slur shortly after the takeover. Where do we go from here? Trending hashtag #twittermigration points to a new crop of social media sites such as Mastodon, CounterSocial and Tumblr as places social seekers are starting to flock.

Observing

    I have noticed that the older people get, the more conservative they are. I saw a quote today by Snoop Dog that read, (I'm paraphrasing) "On Nov. 9th we turn back the clocks. How about we turn the clocks back to a time when people told the truth and got along with each other."  See, this is what I mean. So many people think of their younger days as the good old days and they see today as nothing but lies, hatred, and violence. That's because we always like to forget the struggles of those times gone by and we no longer look forward to the future.

    I myself used to struggle with change. During the early 1990s, I noticed where I worked, people were being let go because they refused to change. So I created my own mantra that I would say to myself every morning or when I needed a positive lift during the day. "Change is good, Change is inevitable. Embrace change and you will never be left behind in life."

 

    I believe this is the reason I find beautiful music to listen to, from today's artists. I still listen the songs I grew up with, but I am also, always, looking for new music that I enjoy.

    I used to complain, but now I feel foolish. I miss her cold feet trying to get warm on my legs on mornings like today. Remembering little things like this brings a smile to my face though.

 

    I know no one will believe me, but when I took the "Real ID" test in California, I was marked wrong on a question I swear I answered correctly!

 

    I have lived long enough to understand that "Big Business" warns the public about the upcoming inflation so they can layoff employees and raise prices for bigger profits and then go, "See, we told you inflation was coming."
