Sending text messages at a funeral?

Yes, folks--it's true. Some people are so addicted to "texting" that they send messages while at someone's funeral. They also do this at weddings...and while driving. How addicted are these people? Click here to find out....

THIS MESSAGE FROM IRYNA AND I AM USING SALAS ACCOUNT TO COMMENT HERE BECAUSE I FORGOT MY PASSWORD
If someone was out of a town lately? I doubt that many people say "yes". No doubt. Life gets comlicated to everyone. More and more time people spend at work to make their living. After all hours working, each of us gets another jobs to do such as taking care of family and other. However, life does on, and today is another fall day with colorful trees, falling leaves and cool air. Such a wonderful autumn!Too bad nobody has time to enjoy it!

Hi, Salah. I see what happened. When I first saw the clip on yahoo, I copied the address that appeared above. Unfortunately, the link doesn't take you right there. You actually have to search for the video I'd seen.

Now, I can't find it.

Oh well....it was a good one!

Iryna--Hi and thanks for the comment, but...I'm not sure what it has to do with text messaging. ???

Hi, Lisa. I think there is somethig wrong in the link, I could not find out anythig about "Sending text messages at a funeral?"

Fanny--Did you see/read my comment above? I just explained what happened and that yahoo didn't allow me to link to it.

Feel free to simply comment on the idea of people texting in ridiculous place....funerals, weddings, the bathroom, etc.

God!!! I’m getting sick of this politics thing now.

Thank God tomorrow will be elections day and after tomorrow it’ll be over. Normally, I don’t like politics and I’m not interested in it either. Additionally, I’m tired of listening to people discussing which candidate will win and which one is the worst. Therefore, I want this whole thing to end. I can’t vote since I’m not a U.S. citizen yet. Still, I have I favorite candidate, whom I expect to win to bring good changes to this country , and most of all so this politics thing can finish.

Professor there’s nothing about text messaging in the link you've posted. Still, it sounds hilarious. It’s true that people has become so addicted to text messaging. I can tell because I’ve seen lots of friends whom are text messaging at least 20 times a day. I think it’s unnecessary, but there are many things that certain people can’t control. They’d better work on it because text messaging is time wasting and distraction on unimportant things.

Carlos--

So you must be happy that the election is finally over....yay! And look who won. I'm not sure who you liked, but I have a feeling it was the winner.

As for text messaging....I agree with you. It's often a real waste of time. I understand why people use it when they're running late for a night out with friends or to give someone an address, but I don't see the point of having an actual conversation that way. It just takes too long. Why not just pick up the phone?
