Re: MIT Engineers
I will be in Atlanta for the game hanging out with the wife and my cousin's family. I would like to go to Dragoncon to see everything, but I can't.
I proudly took AFAM 040 at Carolina.

Re: MIT Engineers
Take some time and go doing the day. You won't be able to see any speakers but you will see a bunch of costumes. Parade on Saturday. Zombie walk on Friday evening I believe.

which time?
I like the stinky pinky but only up to the first knuckle, I do not want a GD thumb up there--I've told her multiple times and I always catch her when she tries to pull a fast one---it's my butthole for Chrissakes I'm gonna know--so cut out the BS.

Re: MIT Engineers
The best part is that everyone of that mindset is listening to the only station in town that plays that type of music, so there are multiple people chicken-necking in their car and pointing at each other and thinking their voice is stage worthy as they scream "Now you're messin' with a son of a bitch" at each other...
I want someone's ass blistered in the middle of Thanksgiving Square.

Re: MIT Engineers
remember my story about the new hire college kid sending on average 150 texts per day on the company phone?
I found this...............
Text messaging explodes as teens embrace it as the centerpiece of their communication strategies with friends.
The mobile phone has become the favored communication hub for the majority of American teens.1
Cell-phone texting has become the preferred channel of basic communication between teens and their friends, and cell calling is a close second. Some 75% of 12-17 year-olds now own cell phones, up from 45% in 2004. Those phones have become indispensable tools in teen communication patterns. Fully 72% of all teens2 – or 88% of teen cell phone users — are text-messagers. That is a sharp rise from the 51% of teens who were texters in 2006. More than half of teens (54%) are daily texters.
Among all teens, their frequency of use of texting has now overtaken the frequency of every other common form of interaction with their friends
Half of teens send 50 or more text messages a day, or 1,500 texts a month, and one in three send more than 100 texts a day, or more than 3,000 texts a month.
15% of teens who are texters send more than 200 texts a day, or more than 6,000 texts a month.
Boys typically send and receive 30 texts a day; girls typically send and receive 80 messages per day.
Teen texters ages 12-13 typically send and receive 20 texts a day.
14-17 year-old texters typically send and receive 60 text messages a day.
Older girls who text are the most active, with 14-17 year-old girls typically sending 100 or more messages a day or more than 3,000 texts a month.

Re: MIT Engineers
When my daughter was 15 she had 2500 texts one month. Then I put a 1,000 text limit on her account which was followed by, I hate you, and, you are ruining my life.

Re: MIT Engineers
My nephew (21) texted my mother on Saturday to see if she and my dad were around, because he wanted to stop by (and probably thought he had a decent shot at my dad grilling). The only problem with my nephew's plan was the silly thought that 70 years old ladies look at their cell phones more than 2 or 3 times a day, tops.
My mom saw the text around 9pm Saturday night...and yeah, my dad grilled because me and my kids came down for the day. His loss. Gotta know your audience.

Re: MIT Engineers
I hate texting with my kids. You want to talk, call me. Haven't heard from them for months now. I don't answer their texts.

It should be more natural, brother. It should flow out, like this - "Look, man, I ain't fallin' for no banana in my tailpipe!"Bklyn wrote:Not falling for the banana in the tailpipe anymore.hedge wrote:What should he have done? Called the land line? Just shown up irregardless?
Sure, I've been called a xenophobe, but the truth is, I'm not. I honestly just feel that America is the best country and the other countries aren't as good. That used to be called patriotism.
