Today I went to lunch with my brother and his friends and that was the topic of conversation lol. All around us was the same....what's to become of the next generations lol
Yes! I do use your affiliate link! I thought you would know who was supporting you? That is awesome that they keep that part anonymous. Who wants to be pointed at, right?
I have to tell you, you better start getting a little bit of rest, my friend. You are started to look a little frayed around the edges, seriously. It wouldn't take much to take you down at this point. And drink more water. ;)
Glad to hear she got into the docs yesterday. I thought you might have to pick her up and throw her over your shoulders. Ugh! Invincible young people. They are the worst.
And as for the phone which carries the call rudeness tag wherever it goes, I am with you on that. If you come to my house for dinner, you will be putting your phone on the table with all the other phones. I have to believe that if you are sharing time with another person that their presence warrants 100% of my attention. I was on a cruise when I spotted a honeymooning couple on their phones, sitting across from each other at meals. Every night. Hello? You didn't need to put a ring on it, you just needed to text her. OMG. Seriously. They were even texting each other. Sitting across from each other. Are you bored with this person? Why spend time with someone you don't intend on being with? I find it rude. There are no two ways about it.
I am not talking about the occasional check of your phone or if you are expecting an important call, I am talking about scrolling through your notifications or checking text messages to see who has something brilliant to say to you. If I had a person texting in my face like that, I would get up and leave. Honest. I don't mind doing the needful, but, you can do it without me wasting my precious time on you. Because I just went out of my way to be with you and listen to how you are and see what you have been up to. If I am not worth the time, take your phone to lunch.
Sorry. You asked how I felt. ;)

I agree ! I make it a point to turn off my phone when I am spending time with someone else. When I am with you, it is all about me and you and anyone else that is with us. RUDE.... you do have that right.
Yes I agree it is necessary for the privacy of shoppers of course. The only problem is that I end up looking potentially ungrateful because I don't know. So the best I can do is once in a while do a generic thank you. So you are such a peach thank you so much for your constant support!
I totally agree with you on this! In fact I got a comment from a guy I went to high school with on YouTube. His idea is whoever goes to lunch, they put their phones in the middle of the table. First one that goes for it, pays the tab ;) I think it is brilliant!

Yes ! I think it is sad too, but it seems a big portion of some generations are addicted to the cyber attention and their world is mostly based there. I don't think they know how to communicate face to face anymore. Communicating online lets you be social while still keeping a distance.
I can't even tell you how many times I have been out and about in places and situations where use too, you might communicate with those around you, but now so many people are looking at their phones instead of being present in the real world moment.
I know it's easy to attribute it to "old"..... for people like me that see it that way and although I try, I just can't see it being a good thing overall.

Oh, El! I have fixed that! When I am in an office situation, be it a doctor, dentist or electric company, I strike up a conversation with people on their phones, pecking away. 99% of the time, they put it aside and start chatting. So, I have to wonder, are they conditioned to pay no attention to anyone or are they truly that interested in the cyberworld, enough to shut out the real world?
My kids are mortified that I strike up conversations with anyone as they put it. LOL
Have a great day!
!tip
ha ha ... glad you found a fix.
Maybe they just don't know HOW to start a conversation? I dunno.
LOL @ your kids being mortified.
I know what you mean and I guess it is because they were born practically with a phone in their hand. I see little kids with an iPhone. It is nuts.
