I'm even more so. I'm not on the Twit and have no intentions to do so. No one has anything to say that I need to know that urgently. And I'm sure that I have nothing to say that anyone needs or wants to know. As evidenced by my posts here.  :tongue:

I have a cell phone that makes calls out and takes calls in. That's it, nothing else. I'm happy.....nobody ever calls me anyway.

That's exactly the type of cell phone I have. Well, it does also have a camera. But that's it.

Oh yeah, I forgot, mine does have a camera also. My husband discovered it by accident when he took a picture of his foot.  :nod:

Twitter is the spawn of Satan. Facebook is Satan.

What they need is an automatic filtering system that eliminates the useless posts like "what I'm eating for dinner", etc. Of course, that would pretty much delete 95% of the content.  :laugh:

I have a friend that still has one of those things...he bought about twenty of the typing heads for it about ten years ago at a yard sale cause he knew he could not get anymore....he uses to type out some books he writes and he swears by that kind of thing when he is writing.

I'm on twitter for one reason only -- to follow my granddaughter and see what the heck she's up to!  HA!  Her Mom told me to follow her -- that way we can both keep an eye (twitter eye) out for her!  :)

Emeril, I joined twitter, and the only things are the local news and when I'm out of town like now.  But I don't tweet.   :smile:
Iris, that is all my phone does, talk and receive calls and then half the time I don't turn it on.   :dielaughing:

I've been on Facebook a couple years, mostly because that's how many of my friends issue party invites, lol, and to a lesser extent for family, and it hasn't been a problem.  I usually only check it every week or two.  But just yesterday, the wife of a friend activated my email notification and I have been swamped with about fifty emails in two days!  Good gawd, I gotta go block that shizzle.  LOL.

Dealing with FarmVille requests is a small price to pay to help authorities' cut surveillance costs.  Plus, posting vacation plans help burglars avoid having to case neighborhoods for empty houses.

Be glad few "guess what I ate for dinner" photos & posting vacation plans help others.
