You are living in 2008


YOU KNOW YOU ARE LIVING IN 2008 when...

1. You accidentally enter your password 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  3.


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

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


AND NOW YOU ARE LAUGHING at yourself.

1) I email my wife sometimes.

2)I see my family from time to time cause none of them have email

3)I get up and got online while I warm my water for "mate" (search in google)

4) Also, there's a lot of radio commercial that say really fast and quietly the site url

And the last 4 items were true.

Again, a great post Nischa!l.
