My husband fell off a curb while texting and broke several bones in his hand. The cast came in handy (no pun intended) when he yelled at a pickpocket who was about to reach into someone’s purse. He was ready to use the cast as a weapon to defend himself!
I totally get it, Danny. While we’re at it, what is up with businesses needing our constant approval? Every time I go to the dentist I am polite, I pay them, I say “thank you.” Isn’t that enough? Before I get out to my car I have a text and an email asking me to please rate and review them. Every. Time. Maybe that’s why everyone is always typing on their phones - they are rating and reviewing.
Thanks for keeping it real, Danny. I rate this essay two thumbs up. 👍👍
"I remember when this was all fields... " I read this essay in my email and giggled, then saw you said about Substack so I jumped over here before you could push me.👋🏼
Hiii Gen Z here! Personally I don’t hate this essay nor do I feel offended. I think it paints a picture on how we as a society has changed in a way. Cultures and society are always shifting tho but some of the things have resonated with me 💛
As a heavily tattooed, indoor hat wearing fan of yours I appreciated the laugh, but I’m going to skip shaving this morning now.

It was really hard to text and walk with a flip phone, using punctuation was particularly brutal. No broken bones, just trying to keep up.
Also my old mom thought LOL stood for Lots Of Love. Her texts were epic.
You have a lawn? In Phoenix?
A verdant one. But we don't have sprinklers.
Will you appear in my email like you used to before Substack?
Of course.
Yes!! 😄

I can’t stand that either Kim!!!
Thank you for the rating. Kim. Is that out of 2?
It’s definitely a 2 thumbs up out of 2. If I had more thumbs, they would all be up. 😅💕

This one made me laugh. Not in a mean way, but in an "I understand what you're saying," (even if I don't agree) way.
I understand what you're saying. 😉
Ha ha!

True. I spent my youth offending geezers of generations past. Old coots!
