You know you're living in 2005 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 fifteen phone numbers to reach your family of three.

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/or family is that you don't have their current e-mail addresses.

6. You pull into your driveway and use your cell phone to see if anyone is home to help you carry in the groceries.

7. You watch every commercial on television in order to note the web site at the bottom of the screen.

8. 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.

10. You get up in the morning and go on line before getting your coffee.

11. You start tilting your head sideways to smile. :)

12. You're nodding and LOL while you’re reading this.

13. You know exactly to whom you are going to link this.

14. You were too busy to notice there was no #9 on the list.

15. You actually scrolled back up to *check* that there wasn't a #9 on the list.

16. You catch yourself using acronyms like "LMAO" in normal conversation.

17. You call having a normal conversation "chatting offline" or "working a sidebar."

H/t to Doc E. (who has finally learned to check Snopes before sending outraged or panicky e-grams to his ol' buds)...

Okay, okay--I *know* I promised you an AAR on the MicroBlogfest. First, I've gotta figger why I keep getting a Gaussian Blur on the sole surviving pic of Barb, BCR and Yrs Trly whenever I try to launch it.

Odd that the gun pr0n pix don't seem affected. Mebbe if I PhotoShop me in brass...

Heh. If *that* remark doesn't draw some snarks, I'm losing my touch.
