Living in 2005
-----------------------------------
I saw this in an other forum a week ago , then a friend emailed it to me.  :bigrinnin: 

You know you're living in 2005 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 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 go home after a long day at work you still answer the phone in a business manner.
7. You make phone calls from home, you accidentally dial "9" to get an outside line.
8. You've sat at the same desk for four years and worked for three different companies. 
10. You learn about your redundancy on the 11 o'clock news. 
11. Your boss doesn't have the ability to do your job. 
12. You pull up in your own driveway and use your cell phone to see if anyone is home. 
13. Every commercial on television has a website at the bottom of the screen. 
14. 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. 
15. You get up in the morning and go online before getting your coffee. 
16. You start tilting your head sideways to smile. >   :) 
17. You're reading this and nodding and laughing.
18. Even worse, you know exactly to whom you are going to forward this message. 
19. You are too busy to notice there was no #9 on this list. 
20. You actually scrolled back up to check that there wasn't a #9 on this list. 



AND NOW YOU'RE LAUGHING at yourself. Go on, forward this to your friends you know you want to! 



Most of the things are true!  :bigrinnin: lol!

I guess I'm still living in 2001 or 1999.  :bigrinnin: I'm using my father's cell phone only to play games on it. But I tryied the #1 . It didn't work!  8-[  [-X  The microwave said that my password is incorrect! But I'm sure the microwave will send me an email with the correct password and then It would prepare the dinner. I'm wondering how did my predecessors cook dinner when an ordinary cooking  range can't send emails?  :-?  :lmao:  :lol:  Right now I'm drinking my coffee online!  :lol:  :lmao:

Hey buddy, don't worry everything is chillin at a cool 10C. Your low on milk and eggs, and if I heard you correctly earlier yesterday, you were talking about a cake sometime this weekend so you better pick up some butter too. Also, don't forget you mother-in-law is comming over and she hates that non-fat creamer you have so pick up some half and half. That leftover pizza has been in here for quite a while now and it is geting rancid. You might want to do something about that. The washing machine and dryer drank all your beer while they played strip poker so now your out of beer, there's a wet pile of laundry on the floor in the hallway and the dishwasher is pregnant. The stove isn't too happy about that but I keep telling him he should have acted sooner. The coffee pot and toaster have been arguing all morning over who uses the least amount of power. It is giving me such a headache, and if they don't stop soon, I swear they are going to drive me to drink the bottle of vodka in my freezer. Which reminds me, you better bring home another thing of orange juice. As I am writing this your mother-in-law left a message saying your father-in-law is comming too, so you better restock the beer. Hide it in the back this time and as soon as the dryer sobers up I'll get him on those clothes in the hall. Ok thats all for now, see you when you get home.

Sears is a big Store. It has been around in the states for about 70 years. It was Sears and Roebuck and was mergered with K-mart in the US. Sears was known for thier wishbook of toys for Christmas. They have names like Craftsman tools and Kenmore appliances. :bigrinnin:

Ok, no mention, Monkey Wards, the GOlden Rule of James Cash Penney, Santa's home on 34'th St., Sam's chain, or Geoffery's home; I will remember that.   What about Piggly Wiggly, is that safe to mention?

Actually, a computer having a name is not ususal.  That has been the standard operating procedures at least a few decades.  That is where the idea for DNS (Domain naming system) originated.   If that quirky habit did not exist, then we would have to enter http://64.202.167.216 to visit PosetteForever.  There is a RFC that provides guidelines on how to select names for a computer.  Such as naming machines based on a theme.  and not naming them with the named of the people who use them, etc.

Right, which would add the extra complications of either having to assign unique IP's for each veritual server, or the main server have an index page with links to all websites that it hosts.  Which is why naming computers is not strange after all.
