Oh how true this is.....2009

By
Real Estate Agent with Blue Ridge Properties

Hey Guys as you know I like to pass things on when I think that my fellow activerainers would appreciate every now and then A good laugh or even a pause just to think about how TRUE IT IS.... 

YOU KNOW YOU ARE LIVING IN 2009 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

Go on, forward this to your friends. You know you want to...

We all need a good laugh these days.  I just did #8 this weekend.  We were leaving a friend's house outisde of DC to head to the inauguration and planned to come back after leaving a car at the metro at 4:30 in the morning after the parking opened.  I realized I didn't have my phone and ran back in to get it, even though we'd only be gone 20 or 30 minutes.  Then we got to our exit for the metro station and discovered a jam (spent an hour trying to get off the exit), and realized there was no way we would be able to get back to the station with that traffic, so, with my pajamas still under my hastily donned clothes, no breakfast, no shower, no camera, we just headed downtown to join 2 million others for the inauguration.  You can bet I was glad I ran back in for my phone!!
