You know you're living in 2009 when...

1. You accidentally enter your password in 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 3.
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 have in the first 20 or 30 (or 60) years of your life, is now a cause for panic and you turn around to go 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.
16. If you're picking you a friend and you phone from the driveway rather than honk; or (God forbid) go knock on the door.

  1. These are so true and so funny. Oh how times have changed. A lot of it for the better I know, but I think we have lost much of the good along the way. ~ tricia

  2. My daughter-in-law was scheduled to pick me up. I waited patiently for the door bell to ring. Instead, the phone rang. I answered it a little impatiently, for you see i was waiting for Heidie to arrive any minute. It was Heidie - "I'm in the driveway, are you ready Dad?" I looked out the window and sure enough there was her SUV with her sitting in the driver's seat with a phone pressed to her ear.

    I am finding that people respond better to my humor than to my lectures about depression. But I really want to talk about what depression can do and how it can be handled. I'm really in a quandary.
