Have any of us ever calculated the number of posts on Facebook, Twitter, and even WordPress that start out with OMG or something like it?

GOOGLY EYES – Marilyn Armstrong
I know I've posted this before, but I really like it so I'm doing it again! It makes me laugh every time I read it. I woke up this morning with an earworm. Not your normal earworm.

Since everyone's into talking about hating phones, I figured I'd throw my oar in the water too. I loved the phone right through my teenage years. I and my girlfriends would chat the night away, even though we lived two houses apart. The phone was more intimate. No one else was around. Just us, hidden … Continue reading LOVING AND HATING THE PHONE WHILE WISHING IT WORKED BETTER – Marilyn Armstrong
WOULD YOU PLEASE ANSWER THAT PHONE? – BY ELLIN CURLEY
The world can be divided in many ways – Republicans vs. Democrats, religious people vs. non religious people, cat people vs. dog people. Here’s another way – people who love the phone vs. people who hate it. I love talking on the phone. I have many close friends who live far away now and it’s … Continue reading WOULD YOU PLEASE ANSWER THAT PHONE? – BY ELLIN CURLEY
