That would be cool.<br /><br />Bibliophile- Kids and phones. How do they do it? I once hung up the phone after talking to someone who made me mad, and hubby and I started discussing the situation and venting a bit. In walks Kid C, holding up the phone. We don't really notice or anything, we just keep venting about the person. Then I realize, the phone is on. My 18 month old had just pressed the redial button and called her back. <br /><br />Worst experience.<br /><br />Debbie- too funny! Maybe you could be all, "I totally knew you were cc'd. Ha. Ha. Haaahhhh... ha ha?"Brodi Ashtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13895732483547245372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6131409629757210790.post-79636523144261579632010-01-23T19:19:44.459-08:002010-01-23T19:19:44.459-08:00Way funny about the pictures popping up on google!...Way funny about the pictures popping up on google!<br /><br />So one time we were just starting out this book club and we had people coming out of the woodworks who wanted to join. However our group was up at like 20 and we just couldn't get anymore people because literally we were running out of places to meet (restaurants kept kicking us out for being too loud) so we decided to cap it so we could at least all fit in someones house. So I was in charge of the next activity and sent out an email with the details of the next party and jokingly said, 'keep this secret because we can't have anyone else in our group. Like the two ladies who didnt show up for the last three parties. Their chances are gone and we aren't including them in emails anymore' yes totally cc'd them on the email. Doh! Felt like THE biggest jerk. At least my book girls still get a laugh about it.Cranberryfrieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04384164423414892482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6131409629757210790.post-25118827905652529082010-01-23T18:06:20.880-08:002010-01-23T18:06:20.880-08:00That recall feature that brings up email addresses...That recall feature that brings up email addresses when you type in a single letter is going to get me one of these days. I once emailed an old boss some sort of drivel about naptime meant for my mother. Lately, my two year-old takes my Iphone and manages to go onto youtube (a tv icon), find a song like "Itsy Bitsy Spider," hit the envelope icon to send it to someone, and start pressing on the keypad. I catch him all of the time with a half composed message. So it is just a matter of time before he sends it to someone in my saved addresses. A few weeks ago I had a photo of a pregnancy test on my iPhone (ok, I guess I was asking for it), and he found it on there and kept waiving it around the room during book club at my house. I need to learn to hide my phone.Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07309501483266246859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6131409629757210790.post-49636790722113381722010-01-23T12:01:20.181-08:002010-01-23T12:01:20.181-08:00Hi Brodi,

Also, one time I got this e-mail that made me quite angry, and I decided to forward the e-mail to someone I knew with a snarky comment I added...and then I pressed reply.

I'm taking a week and a half off of work in April to do a different writer's conference and my ten-year anniversary, and, though I would dearly love to take another week off in June (and will probably even have the vacation time to take)... I'll just barely be caught up from my April trip! Plus, the judges might get testy with me if I tell them I'm unavailable again.<br /><br />Maybe next year....<br /><br />I tried to post pictures of my naked newborn on Webshots once.

Ah, yes I can. So, when HP7 came out, I saw Daniel Radcliffe on the cover of Details magazine. I wanted to show the picture to a friend because he looks just like Elijah Wood in it.<br /><br />I googled Daniel Radcliffe Details. I recommend not doing that.
