TT -13 reasons you know it`s 2006
By Bernie on 28 Sep 2006
13 reasons you know you are living in 2006:
1. 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.
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 three.
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 accidentally enter your pin on the microwave.
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.
9. You don't remember anyone's phone number any more - they are all keyed into your mobile.
10. You get up in the morning and go on line before getting your coffee.
11. If you get up in the middle of the night to pee, you check your email before going back to bed.
12. You start tilting your head sideways to smile. = )
13. You make phone calls from home and accidentally dial "9" to get an outside line.

- Ha! I really liked number 6. Thanks for the LOL! Lots more cheerful than my TT.
- Mornin' Yeppers we live in a new age. lol
- I love this list! What a hoot! My grandmother called me the other day and expressed frustration with commercials on television. "It seems if I don't have a computer, I can't get more information. What happened to phoning people?" I just said, "Uh-huh...uh-huh..." because I was scheduling my recurring morning shower in my PDA.
- Well, aside from the fact that I finally ditched the cell phone (too many people calling me, dammit!), have no problem remembering numbers (speed dial? I don't need no steenking speed dial), don't have a person working at a desk next to me, can carry my own damned groceries and only use the automatic settings for "beverage" and "popcorn" and "defrost" on the microwave, that's pretty much in line with my 21st Century lifestyle. ;-)
- I used to be able to rattle off phone numbers, but now? No way. I have no idea how to play Solitare with real cards! :)
- Haha, that's funny! That shows how much we rely on technology these days!
- Whodathunk? I would have thought I was the least likely person to relate to this, but I do. My 13 have just washed up.
- That's a great list. This is my first time here, and I'll be back. My list is up.
- #11 is definately me! Of course you'd need to expand it to: Everytime you pass the computer... :)
- How true are those. Thanks for making me laugh.
- 14. You and your husband sit in your offices at opposite ends of the house and communicate with each other via Instant Messages.
- I have seen some of those before. They are great, and so true!
- There are real cards??? Next you're gonna tell me people play bingo on paper with chips and that they make real jigsaw puzzles!!! I've turned around for my cell many times and don't even have a land-line phone. Great 13!
- Ha! That list is so me! I've been known to check my email in the middle of the night and I've called my boyfriend from outside to help carry in groceries. LOL Happy TT!
