My hub often said: you never told me that...but I did. With texting (appointments, etc) I have an electronic trail. :*)

I’m same as you. In fact I won’t use the voice function except for emergencies.

I prefer texts in many cases. I usually text my friends and if I need to talk I ask them to call at their convenience.

Thank you for the link. A 10 pack? That tells me people are prone to losing these devices. Maybe I’ll succumb some day. Or maybe I could have my finger sharpened down to a stylistic point.

Or maybe texting is just not for geezers like me.

I’m a geezer, too. And I have very small hands and fingers, but even then it was hard to learn. After a while, I was able to text with not too much trouble; but if I have to write a long one, I use the little pen.

Just buy some and keep one all over the place, including in your pocket. (Just like we do with the magnifying glasses :-)

well, there was an online, updatable, therefore more useful easily faked version.

And completely divorced from reality as well.
