No, student, I will not drop everything to answer an email you just sent me asking a question that was answered in the email that I sent to the whole class four hours ago.

That's a really good reply all debacle. Usually they are just so annoying.

I have a yoga class in an hour and a half. I hate the start time. I'm good five minutes into the class. Or five before if I hang out talking to the instructor beforehand. But, ugh, finding the motivation bites. Usually end up checking that we'll be having class on Facebook. Not that I think it'll be canceled but then I'm guilted into showing up.

I'm real happy with my $15 camp chair, I have to say. The folding into a tube (ish) makes them so much easier to carry than beach chairs, too!

I think its gross regardless of the people. Have separate identities!

THIS OMG THIS. Pete occasionally jokes about being "Mr. Jilli", but there is no WAY we would share emails or social media accounts. That's just weird.

Here's what I enjoy: When I reblog something from a local friend's tumblr, and it's a Jilli post.

Ha!

Oh, I feel like someone else here might know her, too -- she goes by Daisy Razor on the internet?

Yes, Daisy is a friend of mine as well.

I am going to get my hair cut ahead of schedule so I can stick lidocaine patches to my scalp. This isn't medically approved, but it seems less disapproved of then my other pain relief options.

MotherFUCKER.

Oy vey, ita.

Yes, Daisy is a friend of mine as well.

Small world!

A lot of my aunts and uncles share an email account (not my parents, though! Mom got a gmail account just this month! In addition to her yahoo because she prefers the interface) and I consider that a victory since getting them to USE email was such an ordeal. It lead to quite a bit of hilarity when Frank was here and on his 3rd disposable cell (kept losing them on the road. Note: he also was known for losing shoes, hats, pants, etc on the road*) and so Sue was emailing her(them)self and me to get info to/from Frank, and so I was reading aloud these exasperated notes from her telling him to read their goddamned mail. At one point he said "well, you have her intonation down perfectly. I think she's annoyed with me." Hee.

My second eldest aunt has embraced texting, though. Weirds her daughter out because she totally uses chat-speak, and if you knew Annalee...well, she has perfect Minnesota enunciation and grammar when she speaks. I don't think she's ever uttered a run-on sentence or fragment in her life. But she can out-text her 20-something grandson and future grand-DIL.

* One of the recurring themes from his fellow bikers at the memorial service was 'things Frank left behind.' Several from out of town actually brought some of the things they'd acquired. One guy pretty much won: 'He left ME! And didn't realize it for 90 miles!'

That's hilarious.

My mother has gotten into texting with the iPhone -- it took her a while to get the nuances of text v. email, now that they are both on her phone.
