Do you text

Yes. One night, after watching a particularly creepy Criminal Minds episode, the smoke alarm went off but then stopped. So I got a text from my 13yr old daughter who was in the next room, and I texted back. Neither of us wanted to get up and investigate so texting each other to figure out what the hell was happening seemed like a logical answer to the dilemma. Hehehe...I love texting.

Ummm, yes I do, regularly.

I have a 14 year old son who's bedroom is in the attic, if I shout and he has his door shut he doesn't hear me. So regularly I either phone or text him to let him know that his dinner is ready and to come and get it. Also if we're nipping out or something. We did try an intercom but it's an old house and the signal didn't carry up to the attic.

I was thinking of going retro and using smoke signals.

The last time I sent a text was about 2 years ago. I don't even know where my phone is and I hate the things.

You kids and your faxing.

I still use carrier pigeons. I'm against smoke signals for professional reasons.

We use morse code or telegrams.

I just say what I need to say out loud (even if he's in a different room) and then when Mr 4/20 says 'you never told me that' I just say 'yes I did, you just weren't listening'. Works every time...EVERY time.

and if the kids over heard then you have back up confirmation that it happened!

texting at ALL is dumb.
