I'm sure you're not thick but perhaps others who have driven on winter tyres in the snow will give a view?

Should I Really Join Facebook? (Priceless)
Read it all the way through! It's a good laugh! AND really quite true!!



A good laugh for people in the over 60 group !!!







When I bought my Blackberry, I thought about the 30-year business I ran with 1800 employees, all without a cell phone that plays music, takes videos, pictures and communicates with Facebook and Twitter. I signed up under duress for Twitter and Facebook, so my seven kids, their spouses, my 13 grand kids and 2 great grand kids could communicate with me in the modern way. I figured I could handle something as simple as Twitter with only 140 characters of space.

That was before one of my grandkids hooked me up for Tweeter, Tweetree, Twhirl, Twitterfon, Tweetie and Twitterific, Tweetdeck, Twitpix and something that sends every message to my cell phone and every other program within the texting World.

My phone was beeping every three minutes with the details of everything except the bowel movements of the entire next generation. I am not ready to live like this. I keep my cell phone in the garage in my golf bag.

The kids bought me a GPS for my last birthday because they say I get lost every now and then going over to the grocery store or library. I keep that in a box under my tool bench with the Blue tooth [it's red] phone I am supposed to use when I drive. I wore it once and was standing in line at Barnes and Noble talking to my wife and everyone within 50 yards was glaring at me. I had to take my hearing aid out to use it, and I got a little loud.

I mean the GPS looked pretty smart on my dash board, but the lady inside that gadget was the most annoying and rudest person I had run into in a long time. Every 10 minutes she would sarcastically say, "Re-calc-u-lating." You would think that she could be nicer. It was like she could barely tolerate me. She would let go with a deep sigh and then tell me to make a U-turn at the next light. Then if I made a right turn instead. Well, it was not a good relationship...
When I get really lost now, I call my wife and tell her the name of the cross streets and, while she is starting to develop the same tone as Gypsy, the GPS lady, at least she loves me.

To be perfectly frank, I am still trying to learn how to use the cordless phones in our house. We have had them for 4 years, but I still haven't figured out how I lose three phones all at once and have to run around digging under chair cushions, checking bathrooms, and the dirty laundry baskets when the phone rings. They need to put cords on them so we always know where they are.

The world is just getting too complex for me. They even mess me up every time I go to the grocery store. You would think they could settle on something themselves but this sudden "Paper or Plastic?" every time I check out just knocks me for a loop. I bought some of those cloth reusable bags to avoid looking confused, but I never remember to take them with me.

Now I toss it back to them. When they ask me, "Paper or plastic?" I just say, "It doesn't matter to me. I am bi-sacksual." Then it's their turn to stare at me with a blank look. I was recently asked if I tweet. I answered, No, but I do trump a lot."

P.S. I know some of you are not over 60. I sent it to you to allow you to forward it to those who are. We senior citizens don't need anymore gadgets. The TV remote is often more than we can handle.

Hi there put him on the sledge and sledge to Tesco s lol. I might walk there and to town as I'm sick of being inside and I was only inside yesterday.

Don't tempt me, when we had snow last time after 4 days he was climbing the walls, ended up putting him in the manual wheelchair pulling him into a wheelie and bumping him over the snow to the car. This time no chance

I must be as thick as you then FloFlo. Too early on a Saturday morning for this. My brother lives in Finland, has winter tyres and chains and things still come to a standstill when weather deteriorates. We cannot cater for occasional weather in the UK.

Anyway, FloFlo you are not thick just thinking the same as most of us.

This snow is a blathering pain. The last two times I had gigs to do and couldn't go :mad: tonight I've got a rehearsal and two little spots to do, and of course it flaming well snows again :mad:

I'm just grateful I'm not totally scuppered as we've only got a couple of cms but enough to throw a spanner in the works.

Hugs to all those snowed in.
