YOU KNOW YOU ARE LIVING IN 2006 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

 

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. 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.

 

AND NOW U R LAUGHING at yourself.

 

Go on, forward this to your friends .you know you want to!
