That might be no big deal to some, but umm… it’s a big deal to me. You see, my mother barely touches the cell phone that I gave her. She has my old Palm Treo 680. Nice phone… if you know how to use it. But she doesn’t really. She barely even makes calls. As a matter of fact… here is a conversation that I have had on my mother on more than one occasion:
Me: “Ma, why didn’t you answer your cellphone?”
Me: “Uhh.. ok. Why not?”
Ma: “No one ever calls me.”
Me: “Well no… can’t do that if your phone is not on.”
More convos have eluded to the fact that she thought (ok, this was a few years ago), that by just having her phone on, she would be charged in some way! She’s over that now… I think.
So yes, it was a miracle that she sent me a text today. 2 actually! Way to go Ma. 🙂
I could swear you were channeling me and my mom! The other day she told me she was so busy she was getting behind in her email and I almost fainted.
Stopping by from MBC and now following you…
Have a great week,

My mother can't use a computer…*sigh*
She can dial out and answer her cell, that's about it, lol.

My dad is the same way! He actually forgot his voicemail password so leaving him voicemails is pointless too.
That is too funny. I JUST hung up the phone not 15 minutes ago taking my mother through scanning something, saving it as an attachment and emailing it to someone.
That is quite impressive! I still have to help my mother send email!
