Subject: BS: Are Texters unSocial???
Okay, here's the deal...

Yesterday, while sittin' amongst a group of in-laws (all in their 30s 'er early 40s) for Thanksgiving I was struck by the fact that between watching the football games they were all busy texting... I mean, there I was surrounded by 4 or 5 folks who were not interacting with one another at all but texting, texting, texting...

One actually brought her phone to the supper table and continued to text during the Thanksgiving supper!?!?!?.....

We were supposed to stay another day but both the P-Vine and I were so bored/offended by this behavior that we made an excuse to come home last night rather that be ignored by here nieces and their mates...

I donno??? Guess I'm gettin' a little ol' fashined???

So, ya' all... Am I alone in my disgust of this behavior or is it just my wife's relatives???
