    It's an English term of endearment :)

    I dread to think what you wear (or don't) when you post on here...

    never heard the term "old beam" until now.
    learn something new everyday...... sometimes.
    i should text "old beam" and its meaning to everyone.
    tell em its wild crazy drunken English talk from across the way.
    this is my mission for today.
    believe me i can't hardly wait to get started.

    I send and receive probably 50 texts a day (or more).

    I fucking love it. You can talk to people without actually having to talk. What could be better?

    rarely, if i'm in a place that's too quiet or too loud then i will, but only if i'm needing to tell someone where i am or looking for somebody in a crowd. it was handy when i was going to the PJ shows :) otherwise i don't use it, i'm too slow :o

    I very rarely text. I think I have sent 4 in the past 3 years. 3 of them were picture messages where I sent the picture to my email account so I could save it to the computer. The other was a text to my wife telling her the score of a football game I was watching at home while she was out shopping....and yes, she did actually care about the game I was watching....:)

    i don't text.
    my husband doesn't text.
    we see no point. the ONLY time i test is when on pj tours in europe b/c EVERYone texts, but i hate it. i far rather just call and be done with it. however, it is FAR cheaper to text than call in europe, so it makes sense. here....it's cheaper for us to just call each other, at least on our plan..and so that's what we do. i love voicemail. :)


    my most preferred method of communication, outside of actually speaking to someone in person :p....is email. i LOVE email. and yea..answering machines and voicemail.
    Stay with me...
    Let's just breathe...


    I am myself like you somehow

    answering machines and voicemail? I thought everyone HATED those things....in fact, probably 1 in 10 of the non-timeshare messages I get start off with the statement, "I HATE these things"..

    ok....loving the machine and loving the ability to screen your calls are entirely different things :p....and that's also the reason email is even better! :D
    ....and explains the reason texting sucks - it's too cumbersome for long-winded fuckers like you n me :p

    but a text is an email :p

    i think i said earlier in the thread but i would never text on a phone without a qwerty keyboard......pressing 5 twice, 6 three times bullshit is annoying

    not that i text a lot but it is easier when you don't/can't/want to talk to the other person ;):D

    I exchanged numbers with an old friend at my daughters school function tonight...he had my # in his phone, and had it put away before I'd figured out how to enter his name....then I kept screwing it up...I'm far from a tech-idiot, but trying to type on a phone pad is the most aggravating thing in the world....and you look like an idiot 6 yr old playing a video game.

  • Drowned OutDrowned Out Posts: 6,056
    There really is something about it that bugs me.
    ...you look stupid, and I find it incredibly rude in social or work settings....if it's that important, go make the fucking call and come back. Ten 20-second interruptions kills way more time than a five minute phone call.

    yeah but my friends get all pissy if i've ignored them for like a year :eek: :D
