1540 facebook friends. Wonder how many text her?

Then there are the teens and others who text while driving
and get killed and/or kill others. Not long ago a 21 yr old guy drove off a bridge and into the Waters River in Danvers, MA (kinda cold this time of yr). He managed to get out of the car (er ah I’ll drive you home Mary Jo) and swim to shore. Told police he was texting (illegal while driving in MA,
fine assessed). Dumb!

Wonder how many she's never even met?

There is no particular age limit on idiots, although you would think that eventually this problem will take care of itself (unfortunately, in the process, others will suffer). We saw a woman texting(!) today while WAITING for a chance to make a left turn in heavy traffic, in a small SUV, WITH THE KIDS IN THE BACK...

WHAT can be so damned important? We were wondering if she one of those “supermoms” who is running a multinational corporation or orchestrating a leveraged buyout in between soccer practice and shopping.

I have a job where I am working or on-call 16 or more hours a day (but emergencies bad enough where I would get a call after hours are rare). Everyone involved knows that I will not answer the phone or read/answer a text while I’m driving, period.

The signal-to-noise ratio on this stuff is astounding. People really need to re-assess their priorities. At least you can learn quite a bit from spending some time reading on the Internet. Not while driving, please.
