One More Reason to Like Netanyahu

Oh, he couldn't be more right.  It IS an obsession now.  Everything is hash tag, tweeting, selfies, etc.  It IS boring and I don't understand why kids think their lives depend on it now...especially because they never say anything of importance.

I mean, even the squirrels are photo bombing and taking selfies now....What have these little creatures come to?!

LOL!  I know exactly what you mean.  Don't feel bad.  We have these ones where you go and buy cards for different prices and we don't really use them accept for small things or in case of an emergency.  Our kids have all the bells and whistles on theirs and pay a hefty price for it too.  My son said to me one day, "Mom, you and dad are so 2000." (referring to our phones) and I was thinking, "Man, am I gettin' old.  Whatever happened to Paul Revere?"  lolololol.  I think it's stupid for people to be texting while they're driving.  You would not believe how many times I've avoided accidents (by the grace of God) because some chic was texting or on her cellphone while she was driving and not paying attention.  You have to be a defensive driver.  They have laws in place here now but no one pays attention to them.

Boy!  I can relate with THAT, Ben.  Have you ever had people say to you, "Why haven't you answered me email?"?  I'm getting there.  I only have 372 unopened emails now...I don't use half the functions either.  I only use the computer for my sites, which are all news and faith based sites.  The NSA would be really bored with spying on me.  They might find some good recipes though.
You sound like my husband.  He worked on computers and built them, installed software and did trouble shooting.  He still uses his few that he has and knows how to do everything but it's hard to keep up.  I think it burns you out after awhile.

Well, I have an iphone but I only use it for texting family, playing games, and phone calls. I do find it keeps me in better touch with my kids and that was my purpose for having one. Otherwise, my grandkids know more than I do about my phone.

I only have a land line phone. In the past year I graduated to a cordless, land line phone. I do not know how to set the timer on my oven, but was able to set it on my microwave. I tried a cell phone, but could not do it. I am afraid of my TV remote.

I am so thankful the rapture will happen soon, because, for people who have no aptitude for technology, this world can be very daunting.

I call my son when I have trouble with the TV or remote. It was great while he still lived at home because I frequently need help.

HAHA!  Yes, that WOULD be.  That would be a nightmare and a half.  This is one of my all time favorites.  It's not in a senior care enter but I feel WAYYYYYY too much like this older lady.

I successfully resisted getting a smartphone largely because of an inherent ability for later retrieval by someone who has no business tracking me to record everywhere the phone went and precisely when. When I was a kid (before there was TV, believe it or not) there was a radio drama we used to listen to called "The Shadow." The lead-in to the program for every episode went like: "What evil lurks in the hearts and deeds of men? The Shadow knows! Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha..."(a really deep and evil sounding laugh). So, now we have a "government" fulfilling this shadow role using smart phones featured prominently as a useful dream tool for them. Beast Tech. But in moving 70 miles from the town where I work requires the ability to know about real time system alarms and to coordinate / escalate remedial activity from afar, my old e-mail-free, GPS-free and camera-free phone can't cut the mustard any more. Oh well. Jesus will probably come before it's a significant danger to be a believer roaming this neighborhood...

I will admit Siri is a cool featured capability -- press the button and say "Papa Murphy's Pizza" and bam, here are the three nearest to you at that time and place showing map locations and websites. Oh, also I can do much of my work from home the same as if I were at the office.

Can't wait to experience the kinds of iPhones our angel friends may have been using for centuries, millennia, or even aeons... They probably haven't needed to worry about entering the right security codes and / or passwords either... I wonder if they employ radio frequency signals, networks of any kind, or light guides like optical fiber. Ooooooo! Can't wait!!!

Back on topic: I don't text at the restaurant unless I'm there at the table by myself. It's rude! And I have no interest or skills at online games... We all need to get a life! Right?

Yesssss!!!! C'mon Ascension! C'mon Pentecost! Shove out on Shavuot!  A life indeed!

G'day, Benjamin!!!

I'm certain our age difference is far from slight. (At least in our current context.)

LOL...yeah. I would never want to end up like this:

I hope, Benjamin, to miss my own lovely Bride's and my 50th high school reunion this coming August 22 because of our departure in the next few weeks. Can I have an "Amen?" Your age decade starts with a 4, right? Well, what's thirty or forty years among friends? Jesus is absolutely ancient!

Shiloh, that's a scream! So sad. So embarrassing! So oddly funny. What's wrong with me? Do you suppose we will retain this aspect of our sense of humor?

LOL, I think we will retain our sense of humour, SG.  It's part of how God made us.  I think that video is so cute.
Ahem, Benjamin is 2 years older than my son.  Man, do I feel old!

Is your hearing REALLY failing, or are you just to the point where you're tuning everybody out?!  hahahahahahahahaa...you're probably faking it. My father- in-law was like that.  I told him he had 'selective hearing loss'. He heard that and at least it made him laugh.

*Gulp* Both of my kids are older than Benjamin. I really am ancient (I thought my kids were kidding me when they said that. LOL)
