Text Messaging (SMS)

A great way to communicate, if rather hard on the thumbs.

But SMS and driving doesn’t mix:

Several minutes before the first 911 call about the crash, Goodman talked briefly with a fellow graduate trailing her in another vehicle. Two minutes before the crash was reported, her phone was used to send a text greeting to a friend, Povero said.

He sent a reply less than a minute before the first 911 call, the sheriff added.

Routine tests ruled out alcohol as a factor in the 10 p.m. crash, and police don’t suspect drug use was involved…

The Best Kind of Birthday Present: Technology

Hey Jac,

I had bought you flowers and chocolates ordered online, but they messed up so bad they didn’t give you the right balloon that I chose six months earlier to communicate a message… which escapes me right now…

:p

Instead, they sent you an anniversary balloon! And if that’s not bad enough, didn’t give you the included birthday balloon that was supposed to come with it.

The day after it was delivered, the owner was emailing me to say they didn’t have everything they had confirmed a week before. After going back and forth with him by email six times, I pointed out his online “Guarantee and Refund Policy” (Javascript required).

Eventually… he accepted my request that he honour it verbatim. While he was making me somewhat fair counteroffers, the fact is, he chose the refund policy he posted online, not me. I was within my rights to expect him to honour it.

So you got $120 AUD worth of free, if rather early since we have never been married, anniversary goodies.

So… here is your next present… the best kind… something for me to enjoy… seeing you…

An Important Day for a Gorgeous Bearlike Sweetheart and the Man Who Thinks About Her Everyday

Happy 27th Birthday Jacqui Bear!
This is just a brief message to let you understand, “You’re the One!”

I’ve been so busy I haven’t posted more. Perhaps if you’re good, and that could be a stretch, I’ll make up a couple videos in the next few weeks and show you our Canadian home and our neighbourhood.

IF you’re good to me…
