Okay, so I finally figured out what "lol" means and wondered why this new spelling came to be and why anyone thought that up. I mean how long does it take to spell out laughed out loud, let alone why you u (you) would want to tell someone that when you could just tell them that is funny. So I timed it out... it takes maybe 10 seconds to type in LOL on a normal keyed cell phone. Laughed out loud and the true spelling took me... okay a lot longer so that I didn't want to time it out.
But if you had a querty key boarded phone, you could just respond to the email in plain english so everyone could understand it; and or, take a picture and send it to them; or better yet, take a movie of yourself on your phone of your self laughing out loud; or just call the person and just laugh out loud in their ear and talk to them like we used to do. Oh wait... that isn't 21st century thinking. That is like ancient thinking... at least 5 years ago. Ok, it makes sense to use lol, u, i, ummlol, iwicttusichwyvslbiatui, and many others. I am sure you texters can figure out what these other text messaging favorites are but for some I will need to provide a dictionary:
lol - laughing out loud
u - you
i - I
ummlol - you make me laugh out loud
iwicttusichwyvskbiatui - I wish I could talk to you so I could hear what your voice sounds like but I am texting you instead
wwutwucjcmattmitfpswcbdwtcs - why would you text when you could just call me and talk to me in the first place so we could be done with the conversation sooner
jwcwsrtbih - Jane will... ( maybe you can fill in the rest of this text message)
You see how easy this is, how versitile and it just makes so much sense and so you can really communicate your message with ease and save a lot of time and energy so you can get on to the next text. Great, huh?

A great father's love
You know how through email we can get a lot of junk... but this post is about a link to a very great father who loved his son more than words can express. I wish I could say that I could some day feel the kind of love and passion this father had for his son.
Watch the video after you read this. I am told that this happened several years ago but it is totally amazing...
A son asked his father, 'Dad, will you take part in a marathon with me?'
The father who, despite having a heart condition, says 'Yes'. They went on
to complete the marathon together.
Father and son went on to join other marathons, the father always saying
'Yes' to his son's request of going through the race together.
One day, the son asked his father, 'Dad, let's join the Ironman together.'
To which, his father said 'Yes'. For those who don't know, Ironman is the toughest triathlon ever. The race encompasses three endurance events of a 2.4 mile (3.86 kilometer) ocean swim, followed by a 112 mile (180.2 kilometer) bike ride, and ending with a 26.2 mile (42.195 kilometer) marathon along the coast of the
Father and son went on to complete the race together. View this...
