You Know you are living in 2007 when...

[Marigee]

YOU KNOW YOU ARE LIVING IN 2007 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 or Diet Coke.

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 YOU ARE LAUGHING at yourself.

Thanks for the laugh.....

although I tend to leave my cell phone at home a lot.... much to the irritation of my friends and family.

And I hate using email IM at work, I need to get up and walk around during the day, so I usually just walk to someones desk if I have a question.

16. You call your son on his cell phone from your kitchen (he's in his bedroom) to let him know dinner is ready.....

 

[NannyMin]

[abc]

17. You're laughing out loud at a computer screeen!
18. Instead of being puzzled, all your officemates jump out of their chair, crowd over your screen and join in the laugher.

 

[Kiragirl]

19. Your mom finally gets a cell phone, but forgets to turn it on.

[Kiragirl]

19.6 Or leaves it on by accident so you can hear conversation from her end for the next 20 minutes.

20b. You lose your keys and start to beep them to see where they are hiding. Whoops no beeper.
20c. You lose your camera and start to beep it to see where it is hiding. Whoops no beeper.

 

[Kiragirl]

21. You can't remember your friends' phone numbers anymore because their names (only) show in your contacts list.

 

[Native Vail Gal]

22. You use your Car Auto-Unlock button on your keychain to try to unlock your front door! :D (I do this OFTEN!)

22. You use your Car Auto-Unlock button on your keychain to try to unlock your front door! :D (I do this OFTEN!)

I try to do this for lots of things, including the back door just like you. I get the car auto-thingy mixed up in my mind with the trick of calling my cell phone to hear it ring when it's lost. So whenever I don't know where something is, anything, I want to press the button on my auto-thingy to make the lost thing ring so I can find it. Old minds work in strange ways.

 

[Native Vail Gal]

Old minds work in strange ways.

You got THAT right!

 

[Kiragirl]

NVG, you're forgiven, you have a reason being recently married. but Liquidfeet, tsk tsk tsk. LOL

Ah....thank you Kiragirl! :D

 

[Kiragirl]

[IntheClouds]

When penpals no longer use pen & paper & postage - but e-mails to cross the ocean electronically.

 

[IntheClouds]

And I know I'm not quite living in 2007 when : I still keep my cell phone in the car for emercencies, and find 2 day old voicemails from friends next time I get in to go somewhere. I'm still not in the groove of carrying it on or with me so's I can be reachable at all times.

I'm old, so I DO have an excuse.
