I Block ALL Text Messaging!While I have text messaging available on all three of my cell phones, I block that feature on all three lines. I realize it is the preferred method of contact (is that "moc") for many GenX and most GenY but I would have to learn another foreign language. These "youngins" have amazing speed and are quite proficient with this talent and I am impressed but they leave this old man in the dust on this tool. I already know French, a little German, Swedish, Italian, and Pig Latin. I know a shortcut language that was used by "The Write Stuff", a word processor on the Commodore 64 that I still use today (the language, not the C64) for writing and typing notes to myself. But this new text shortcut language, the fact that I have to use my thumbs that don't work as well any more for this grandpa of 6, the fact that my thumbs wear out more quickly than my voice, that fact that I feel talking allows for better interaction and less misunderstandings, make me still want to use my cell for talking. While I don't want to lose the business of GenX and GenY buyers, I hope they will understand that I still have tremendous benefits in the real estate world to them without being able to know whether "swalk" is sealed with a loving kiss or sent with a loving kiss. I have years of experience in marketing, researching information on homes, and in tough negotiating to get the best deal for you whether you are buying or selling a home. So here's hoping I can t2ul8r, GenX and GenY out there, which is "talk" to you later and not "text" to you later!
Thanks and "Don't keep me a secret--I'm never too busy for your referrals!"
