Doesn't she have something more important to do?

Recommended Posts

Logged into FB this morning and was met with this series of "updates" from a skydiving girl I know, who just happens to be expecting her second child.

Call me old-fashioned, but you CAN be too connected in this day and age...

absolutely 100% true. people not expect you to always answer the phone, or read a email/text immediately, and if you dont, there it something wrong with ... you. my wife and i shut off the phones at night, to avoid the useless jabber, work and non work related. i remember the good old days when you would be working outside, the phone would ring, and you would just continue on. and the caller would realize you were either not home, or simply busy...and not freak out.

We finally started doing that too, when the wife and I are together we often shut off both our phones even during the day...the uninterrupted time together is priceless.

Hi Jim,

My message used to end with: '. . . and if it is important, I will call you back.'

My kids said it was mean and I should remove it; so I did. Now I think I might just put it back. B|

Phil... you're obviously on her friends list too! :)

And here I thought it was obtuse enough nobody would recognize her.

Actually, John, I'm not. I just teach enough FB-addicted students to know that it would be a logical thing for them to do.....

Didn't know - good luck with that.

As far as the Facebook thing - she probably promised her family that isn't in town that she would give play-by-play on Facebook. If it were my niece, cousin, etc, I would probably like to know. But that's just me.

It's all about documenting and collecting now. YouTube hits, blog posts, Facebook friends, videos of everything we used to actually experience: life through a lens.

If a tree falls in the forest and nobody records it on his iPhone, did it actually happen?
