My granddaughters are 5 and 7 yrs old. I hope this text stuff goes out of style before they start communicating that way. Things phase so quickly. Do you remember CV radio( is that what we called it?) with the truckers looking for Smokey's and knowing each other by our handles

I think it was CB... for citizens band radio

Lbrow, I think it's cute you can keep up with your grandchildren. More than I could do, if I had them, I'm sure. I have a BA in English, and I think I'm genetically incapable of purposly misspelling words, hee hee hee. But you go, girl! If that's what it takes to communicate with the young'uns, go for it. Just make sure they don't think that's how you *really* spell the words, eeeesh! Marji

lbrow, You are really up to date. A flower for you.

I am not sure I understand all, however I am so happy that you are here with us. H.*.

Ain't that the truth lol. All my growing up days Ain't was not used lol now you hear everything

I can make out what you wrote down, but I must confess I sometimes miss the point. Even more so in my own language, silly enough. So I'm the one sending lengthy text messages and taking ages do work out what my kids are sending me.
