This was posted to me a few years ago… I posted it a little over 3 years ago. I felt like reposting it while I’m working on a more ‘researched’ post.

You know you’re living in the modern age when:

1. You accidentally enter your password on the microwave.

2. You haven’t played solitaire with real cards in years.

3. You have a list of 15 phone numbers to reach your family of 3.

4. You e-mail the person who works at the desk next to you.

5. Your reason for not staying in touch with friends and family is that they don’t have e-mail addresses.

6. You go home after a long day at work you still answer the phone in a business manner.

7. You make phone calls from home, you accidentally dial “8” to get an outside line.

8. You’ve sat at the same desk for four years and worked for three Different companies.

10. You learn about your redundancy on the 11 o’clock news.

11. Your boss doesn’t have the ability to do your job.

12. You pull up in your own driveway and use your cell phone to see if anyone is home.

13. Every commercial on television has a website at the bottom of the screen.

14. Leaving the house without your cell phone, which you didn’t have the first 20 or 30 (or 60) years of your life, is now a cause for panic and you turn around to go and get it.

15. You get up in the morning and go online before getting your coffee.

16. You start tilting your head sideways to smile. 🙂

17. You’re reading this and nodding and laughing.

18. Even worse, you know exactly to whom you are going to forward this message.

19. You are too busy to notice there was no #9 on this list.

20. You actually scrolled back up to check that there wasn’t a #9 on this list AND NOW YOU ARE LAUGHING at yourself.

Wow. Just wow

So from about 10:30 until 6:30 we hit the ground and hit it Really hard.

Thanks to Sidhefire clan:nascar24_48 andvismaya_viewer (who’s LJ’s I need to look up) and their SUV
Alligators: ladyaraia and quetz with Godzilla!
MSFTies: sea_gaagii (and the exterra), philkensebben (and boys), and killer props to papertygre who’s help went beyond amazing including fastening a table to her car and fetching lunch.
ATC kept up a punch with princekermit and Raphael.. with the amazing silver pickup
And the man who can fall into no definition: glitch25

And two women who make me incredibly happy: faerievixen2 and polanegri.

There is no way that elocinnuala, shimmeringjemmy, aiden_freeman and I could have accomplished what you all did today.

Blessings upon each and every one of you.

This weekend is our big push.

The boxing has been incredibly reduced to friends in Clan Sidhefire (THANK YOU sidhefire for the truck, and also to mlerules and delerium3) as well as some massive help from the ATC (Blessings to darkzelda98011 and moon_goat) as well as L (who’s LJ I do not know).

We are starting at about 9:30ish Saturday and Sunday.
Saturday we are working until about 6ish. Dinnering and off to D’s annual.

Sunday we will have the U-Haul for anything that is left (we’re really hoping that we actually won’t need it… but better safe than sorry.)

Sunday we’re working from 9:30ish… until we’re done. (Which I hope will be 7 ish… as there is a celebration in the box laden house planned.

The original post is at:

And the poll can be found there and here behind the cut

… we’ve been moving boxes all day.

However, the county has had another major wind storm and the house is currently without power.

Boy I hope they get that back on before the utilities come tomorrow.

Follow the link, try it out. Facebook…. a pleasant way to waste time.
