Glass Chatroom Board

Okay, so he was lovely to offer to bring in laundry and it did save him a few steps, but the point is, we're so dependent on our connectivity that we are repulsed by the thought of expending a bit of energy. And neither of us has mobility issues to speak of. When we go into Home Depot I lose him immediately and have to ring him up after a while or I'd never escape the place! When I park the car at the mall I can never find it again without hitting the beeper on the key fob! I can't find places in Boston I've been to a hundred times without that MAPS thingy on the phone. I feel sucked into the electro-cyber-madness!!!

The worst, very worst, modern age communication I ever got was after donating to a charity in memory of a deceased friend. The daughter-in-law took the chore of thank you notes and chose to do it via EMAIL!!!! I was appalled! I understand grief as it's fresh in my soul right now but I find this unacceptable and crude. I will handwrite every thank you by end of this weekend.

OK, that's out of my system! The best part of cyberlife is not writing out checks for the bills. It's all done by computer and some of it is autopaid! Monthly bill paying takes 5 minutes. Still just as painful but faster than all those envelopes, checks, stamps, etc.
