YOU KNOW YOU ARE LIVING IN 2011 when........

I received this in my email this morning and can clearly see myself unmasked for the world to see by these revelations.

I think many of you will as well.

Please add your own item for this list along with any comments on the list itself.

I do not know the originator of the list, but he or she certainly must have been watching me as the list was compiled.

 

YOU KNOW YOU ARE LIVING IN 2011 when...

 1. You accidentally enter your PIN on the microwave.

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 pull up in your own driveway and use your cell phone to see if anyone is home to help you carry in the groceries.

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 even 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

10. You get up in the morning and go on line before getting your coffee

11. You start tilting your head sideways to smile. : )

12 You're reading this and nodding and laughing.

13. Even worse, you know exactly to whom you are going to forward this message.

14. You are too busy to notice there was no #9 on this list.

15. You actually scrolled back up to check that there wasn't a #9 on this list

    My wife loses her mind when I call her from the man cave in the basement!

      She has threatened more than once to have a cement truck fill the basement in during one of my infrequent naps in front of the big screen

      :-o)

      Robert - infrequent? Not saying you're lying, just saying I ALSO have a husband with a man cave and big screen and I'm guessing infrequent is a bit of a stretch :)

      Stretching sometimes preceeds and follows the nap... yes indeed, the stretch is important.

      Well, er hum,.....I wasn't counting the times that I am simply resting my eyes....

      You know that is not really a nap right?

      :-0)

      Or as my granddaughter would say, "busted papa"

      RatPOison

      The basis for a defense perhaps that stretching.......I will keep it in mind

      Your kids' allowance is automatically scheduled from your bank to their paypal account.

      You haven't exercised without Wii Fitness in two years

      When we bought the new house, my wife sold the exercise equipment we hadn't used in years and now we have no where to hang the laundry

      Cute... I can see it working for many, but as for me... eh, maybe I'm just old fashioned for my young age.

      How about... you use internet radio rather than AM/FM radio? That I do do... (mostly because I travel a lot).
