I know so little about texting that I have to Google some of the abbreviations because I can’t figure them out. I might do better with smoke signals 😉
Tweeting in these times is challenging enough for a boomer aged person. I can’t learn yet another glossary of phrases now. Too complicated! Funny, but complicated.
Low ? We don’t care how short you are. Here at “Smile, Inc.” it is a meritocracy based on wit. Of course the salary is kinda low. Actually we hand out celery instead of salary.
They’ve got a ‘leg up’ on me… I admit I don’t understand a lot of the text terminology. I usually make it as hard as possible on myself by spelling everything out. LOL
Hot air in the form of words was, I thought, an invention of the modern manager. Looks like I was wrong. These Indians (American) have already been at it.
They were just going “green” even back then. “Smaller words=smaller fire=less wood=more trees=more places to hide in ambush…It’s all relevant. At least you didn’t have the two in the back saying WT?*

Ha Ha!!! Very clever idea Carl. I guess it’s quicker than spelling the long way.

Some people are complaining about the carbon footprint here and we are sensitive to that and may switch to small flashing mirrors.

I never owned a cell phone. No Tweets. Off Facebook-suddenly had 3 million friends-no way. Have stationary, envelopes and stamps.
