TEXTING HAS been killing my thumbs. Then when I rest my thumbs, my index finger has to do the work. I like a small phone but I wish it came with a full-size QWERTY keyboard. My son Spike says I text like a teenager. This is not a compliment. He thinks adults should text with capitals and full punctuation.

NOW WITH oh, dont forget, I can text from my browser. First enter the phone numbers you will be texting to. You will need to know the carrier for the number. Be sure to enter your own cell phone number. (Although this would also be very useful if you didn't have a mobile phone and wanted to text someone.) Next go to the create screen, enter the number and type the message. The message will not say it is from you so you will have to add this infomation. Then, best of all, schedule delivery. You can choose Now or select a day and time. Send yourself a message reminder about watering the plumeria or picking up Maine shrimp at the market on the way home next week when your allergic-to-shellfish spouse is out of town. ohdontforget
