Place: 66 Wisconsin Comments: This is exactly why I can't wait for retirement so I can go home and vegetate... A good laugh for people in the Should I really join Facebook? over 50 group !!! Also for those who know people like us. When I bought my Blackberry I thought about the 30-year business I ran with 1800 employees, all without a cell phone that plays music, takes videos, pictures and communicates with Facebook and Twitter. I signed up under duress for Twitter and Facebook, so my seven kids, their spouses, 13 grand kids and 2 great grand kids could communicate with me in the modern way. I figured I could handle something as simple as Twitter with only 140 characters of space. That was before one of my grand kids hooked me up for Tweeter, Tweetree, Twhirl, Twitterfon, Tweetie and Twittererific Tweetdeck, Twitpix and something that sends every message to my cell phone and every other program within the texting world. My phone was beeping every three minutes with the details of everything except the bowel movements of the entire next generation. I am not ready to live like this. I keep my cell phone in the garage in my golf bag. The kids bought me a GPS for my last birthday because they say I get lost every now and then going over to the grocery store or library. I keep that in a box under my tool bench with the Blue tooth [it's red] phone I am supposed to use when I drive. I wore it once and was standing in line at Barnes and Noble talking to my wife and everyone in the nearest 50 yards was glaring at me. I had to take my hearing aid out to use it, and I got a little loud. I mean the GPS looked pretty smart on my dash board, but the lady inside that gadget was the most annoying, rudest person I had run into in a long time. Every 10 minutes, she would sarcastically say, "Re-calc-u-lating." You would think that she could be nicer. It was like she could barely tolerate me. She would let go with a deep sigh and then tell me to make a U-turn at the next light. Then if I made a right turn instead. Well, it was not a good relationship. When I get really lost now, I call my wife and tell her the name of the cross streets and while she is starting to develop the same tone as Gypsy, the GPS lady, at least she loves me. To be perfectly frank, I am still trying to learn how to use the cordless phones in our house. We have had them for 4 years, but I still haven't figured out how I can lose three phones all at once and have run around digging under chair cushions and checking bathrooms and the dirty laundry baskets when the phone rings. The world is just getting too complex for me. They even mess me up every time I go to the grocery store. You would think they could settle on something themselves but this sudden "Paper or Plastic?" every time I check out just knocks me for a loop. I bought some of those cloth reusable bags to avoid looking confused, but I never remember to take them in with me. Now I toss it back to them. When they ask me, "Paper or Plastic?" I just say, "Doesn't matter to me. I am bi-sacksual." Then it's their turn to stare at me with a blank look. I was recently asked if I tweet, I answered no, but I do toot a lot! Now...please will all my friends from SOC 66 please have a Great, Wonderful and Merry Christmas!!!
Place: Garland Comments: yep skype is great as long as you are dressed (?!?) lol
Place: Garland Comments: Ada, our little Sophie is growing up before our eyes. She is a little doll! Isn't Skype a wonderful thing?
Place: Garland Comments: Not a thing, Jack...decorated with colored lights the first half of my life....trying something different the other half of my life....lol. We've had so many variations but I like what we have now and, besides, Bruce is only out of commission for one day after putting up the current lights. Thanks, Sandy!
Place: 66erville Comments: What you got against colored lights??
Place: Richardson Comments: Sorry to hear Stephen has pneumonia. Will pray for a quick recovery Hey, I saw your house last night, looked nice with all the pretty white lights!
Place: Frisco Comments: SNL, you really know how to deck the halls, don't you? Ha!Ha! Looks great! For a split second I thought my laptop was about to go completely out! Sorry to report that my stepson, Stephen, is back in the hospital with pneumonia. I'm thinking he tried too much too quickly. Weekly, I drive around McKinney and Frisco, and I have discovered my son lives right in the heart of many links!
Place: Calif. Comments: Roe, Maddox came to the 40th reunion with Dianne Brown (a Boude Storey cutie everybody had a crush on). I knew Sammy from Clinton P. Russell days. Odd thing about him is he stopped growing in the 3rd grade.......of course he was 6-11 at the time. It was a pleasure reconnecting with him at the reunion.

Place: Arklatex Comments: Got a call from Sammy Maddox from Kimball Hi Sc class of 66 this afternoon.. We talked over an hr about Oak Cliff and all the old hang-0uts. There is a book out about Oak Cliff in the early 50's and 60's. I'll share it with all when he sends it to me, or order copies if its worth money. Merry Christmas to all.
Place: Sachse Comments: Happy belated birthday wishes to Gary (the time machine) Dagley. Hope you enjoyed it to the fullest. Ada Ann, your little Sophie gets more precious with every passing day. I'm so glad you will get to see her in person again and squeeze her very shortly. Love the festive GB. Great job as always SNL.
