Every Saturday morning Grandpa Walt found himself babysitting his three grandchildren...all boys. The kids always wanted to play ''war,'' and Grandpa somehow always got coaxed into the game.
His daughter came to pick up the kids early one Saturday and witnessed Grandpa take a fake shot as Jason pointed a toy gun and yelled, "Bang!''
Grandpa slumped to the floor and stayed there motionless. The daughter rushed over to see if he was all right. Grandpa opened one eye and whispered, ''Sh-h-h, I always do this. It's the only chance I get to rest.''
We're hooked, and we don't like it
67% of us are constantly checking our phone for new messages, even when our phone is not ringing, beeping or vibrating.
44% have slept with their phones to not miss an important call or message.
Almost 30% describe our phone as "something we can't live without."
But at least a portion of us, 11%, think this isn't a good trend. We're worried that our phone is starting to take over our lives. How do we know? Because 12% of us have someone that tells us so.
Phones/Facebook: What is your number one cell phone pet peeve? Here's a few on my list:
- On their cell phone while trying to back a giant SUV out of a parking space...they are obviously talking to the president...it's that important
- You're having a conversation with someone, and right in the middle of your story they whip out their phone and check for messages
- You wife calls you...from downstairs.
A related study out of Baylor University found the average business student sends a whopping 110 text messages a day! That's 32-hundred a month! Students check their phones around 60 times on a typical day -- and would label losing their phones as "disastrous" to their social lives.
Surviving the Holidays...
How to be the star at the office Christmas party... Marie Claire magazine passes along tips to women who want to "stand out as the belle of the ball"...
- Mingle... a lot. As the host or the guest. In a room full of strangers, be the lady that makes an effort to spread good holiday cheer.
- Sip the spiked punch... responsibly. Bad things happen when the booze starts flowing.
- Guests of guests do not bring guests. Run it by the host if you're in a pinch
- Be honest with your RSVP's, and don't attend everything.
- Abide to the secret santa price limit... seriously. Nobody likes a show off.
