Yeah, but OUR parents said the same thing when MTV and VH1 came out.

Oh, and that Atari.. Man.. We were hooked-up.. :banana: :banana:


Then again, that was when Michael Jackson was a cute little black boy. whoa

Times have changed!

No teenager should have their own phone. I don't own a cell phone cause I have no need for it. I have a house phone and if anybody want to get hold of me then they call here.

A second before you smash into the stopped semi trailer is too much.

Hey, that happened here. Guy walked right into a truck, texting on a cell phone, dead. Sure hope that last text of his was real important.

Hi everyone and thanks for your opinions and keepin it real!

I see this texting thing as a "potential problem" because the 1st month it was 7,000 texts and my eyes were like SPONGEBOB!explode rant explode rant exploderant I was heated!

I told her to cool out with the textin too much, she claims it's her friends that are texting her......and now she is up to 13,000.

I have warned her one more time if she gets any texts over 5000 the texting will be history on her phone. She agrees-we will see.....
I even saw her talking on the phone the other day and I was like WOW!

My plan is to give it thirty (30) more days and it if the texting increases on my next bill-she can say bye-bye to the text world.

Please keep those opinions coming, my daughter is writing down ten (10) reasons she feels she should keep her texting and I am writing down (10) reasons why she needs to calm down or we remove it.

2 b continued.....

Hey girl good to see you back been long time no see......

Hummmmmmmmmm texting myself I hate it but it is the in thing now days so as long as it is unlimited texting and not costing you extra and she does what she is suppose to be doing I say let it be.

Well unless it is during the middle of a meal or when your trying to talk to her. bigsmile

As long as her grades are good, I don't think you should take away anything from your child, that they obviously enjoy to a great deal.

I just upped my plan to 5,000 texts a month. I don't use all of them, but I kept going over my previous limit of 500.

I admit I like to text if I'm in a relationship. Most guys hate it but I've found some who like it or dont mind it.

I say as long as she isn't running up the bill, she isn't a couch potatoe and her grades are good ... let her be. she's a kid and technology is in .. big time

Hi TxsGal3333,

I've been good doin' my Internet Radio Show thang! Enjoying my summer, we have had a lot of rain-kind of hard to make outdoor plans-but, I will take the rain, snow, cold and heat because that is what GOD gives me and I shall not complain.

How have u been doing??? Nice to hear from you-keep in touch!

Not true. Think about it. If you're shy, like me, texting is a great thing. technology is what produces most of the money in the world. You can actually learn SOME communication skills and social skills through texting and talking too much on the phone. I agree 13,000 texts a month is a bit too much ... I can't even find the time to rack up that many texts.
