    Living in 2006

    YOU KNOW YOU ARE LIVING IN 2006 when...

    1. You accidentally enter your password 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 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.

    Go on, forward this to your friends, you know you want to!

      Yup, I want to and did. Especially one good friend. 4 family members and 3-4 numbers for each!

        Funny, although I think I first saw that as "You know you're living in 1998 when..."

            #5 #8 and #12 are me. Though I go online in the morning while my coffee is brewing. I dunno what I'd do without my cell phone.

                I wish I could say I can't relate but I think everyone applied.

                  As to #1 — WHICH password? I've got about a dozen.

                    Now that made me laugh at myself. Expecially as I scrolled back up to see #9.
