But there's something special about hearing the laugh, instead of reading the LOL. <br /><br />I hear ya'.<br /><br />~Brenda~Brendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13188450867427956487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2794023177926156476.post-11546564931034224832009-08-04T13:36:09.353-06:002009-08-04T13:36:09.353-06:00I like to think of Twitter and Facebook etc. as ex...I like to think of Twitter and Facebook etc. as extra ways to communicate - sure they don't replace face-to-face or voice-to-voice but without them I wouldn't feel as in touch with some of me friends. And they've helped me reconnect with friends I haven't spoken to for years. Now ... tweeting to each other over the dinner table might be the limit!Mandyhttp://sincemydivorce.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2794023177926156476.post-8311271111470772932009-08-04T11:18:07.017-06:002009-08-04T11:18:07.017-06:00Great thoughts.

I think it's because with kdis I feel like i'm out of control when I'm on the phone and they get into trouble & I can't do much about it! Thanks for stopping by...I'm going to add you to my blogroll.Mandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08864076681374164439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2794023177926156476.post-17783197044173630892009-08-04T10:04:34.036-06:002009-08-04T10:04:34.036-06:00Great post - I am always up for a conversation abo...Great post - I am always up for a conversation about technology.

I have a lot of internet friends and even old friends I like to keep in touch with but life is so crazy calling and keeping up with all of them is impossible, but my family and closest friends will never get boxed! I have the handful of close friends that I call all the time and have good relationships with. Unfortunately I can't keep up with everyone so some of them get boxed... But I still care for them.Girly Do Hairstyleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15119487228948011818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2794023177926156476.post-70529826829022418222009-08-03T10:03:44.992-06:002009-08-03T10:03:44.992-06:00I VERY much enjoy talking to you on the phone or f...I VERY much enjoy talking to you on the phone or face to face. Sometimes you can't do that with everyone you know. Can't take up all my minutes on my phone, or they don't have texting...little things like that so I connect through blogs or facebook...Although I would like to get rid of facebook and somehow still keep in touch with some of those friends. You can't beat a LIVE voice though. I do wish there was more of that still.R Clanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14961545154276210110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2794023177926156476.post-35455096998529733452009-08-03T09:51:30.102-06:002009-08-03T09:51:30.102-06:00I miss this too which is why I make it a point to ...I miss this too which is why I make it a point to talk to friends on the phone, meet for girls night out or lunches and I still write handwritten letters and thank you notes. It is very important to me that not everything I communicate come from a technical device. Besides, I am NOT nearly as funny via text, blog or email as I am in person!LOL(hee hee)!

And it is really nice to hear the inflection in a phone conversation - so many misunderstandings with just words... or abbreviations! <br /><br />LucyLucy and Ethelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01034416537494911411noreply@blogger.com
