YOU KNOW YOU ARE LIVING IN 2007 when...

1.  You accidentally enter your PIN 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  three.

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 even 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.

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 U R LAUGHING at yourself.

The most wasted of all days is one without laughter.--- e e cummings

ROFL! And there's something else for the list: 16. You express amusement by typing the letters "LOL, ROFL and LMAO."

Four? Try eleven! (Ok, so it's coke not coffee for me, but I'm gonna count #10 anyway.)

I still play solitaire with real cards, cause it's the only way I can cheat when I  need to. Solitaire just should NOT be a game you can lose at.

:lol: Zoe, that's exactly why I use real cards too.

ROFL at Dia and Zoe - I'd rather use real cards (although I don't very often)precisely because I think it is harder to win than with the online games, and therefore more rewarding when you do.  Maybe I'm weird - cheating at solitaire just seems to defeat the purpose, you know?Why bother if you know you can win?

And, OMG, I think I had them almost all (except the using the cell phone - cause mine is rarely on, and thehead tilt - at least I don't think I do...)

hehe well solitaire is kindof like masturbating...no one really has to know WHAT you did. ;)  And the only thing that matters is that you have fun. :)

Can I say the "M" word on the forum?

It does kinds defeat the purpose, but on the other hand, what's the purpose in losing against yourself. :lol: Solitaire is good for nothing but starving off boredom, and if I'm just wasting time, I might as well win. ;-)

@ Zoe, I'd say you can use whatever words you want. Maybe that's not in the spirit of age-ratings as they are meant, but my policy is not to bas it on words, but on the images it provides. A text in a biology book about genitalia can use the same words as a smut scene, doesn't make it NC-17. A slang dictionary can list all the curse-words known to man, doesn't mean you have to hide it from your kids. It's all in the context.

I don't even know how to play solitaire with actual cards........ RandiGiles

bwahahahaha and now you know the dangers of computer solitaire.  It's like how stupid we all are about math because of calculators. ;)

ROFL The cell phone part had me in tears. My mom has two and neither one stays on that long. She turns it on to go to work (5 min drive) turns them off at work, turns them back on coming home from work (another 5 mins) then turns them back off and charges them over night. Like they have time to lose any bars, lol.
