Friday Fun…Do You 👍
You receive a text, read it, then what? How many times have you sent 
someone a text, then bupkus?
For example, you send a Happy Anniversary text to someone and crickets. Did they receive it? Did you get the wrong day?
So when you see or communicate with them again, you may ask if they received your Happy Anniversary text. To which they reply… “Oh yes, I did. Thank you.”
True story: a friend and I texted quite a bit, especially when she was sitting at a child’s game. It was easier than calling.
However, we were so darn polite to each other that we never could figure out how to sign off. One day, we decided that (for us) TTYL was our way of saying “over and out.”
Recently, I did some dumpster diving in Cyberville and learned that younger generations often have different texting expectations.
A message such as, "On my way home," is seen as informational rather than conversational. In other words, it's a statement, not a question, so they may not respond—not because they're ignoring you, but because they don't think a reply is expected.
So, for some Friday Fun, how do you text?
Do you always reply with either words or an emoji?
Do you reply at all???
