Interesting to see everyone's perspective!

I love phone calls myself. I think I like how they have a start and finish. Text conversations often just sort of slowly fizzle out.

I also tend to like concise communication. Phone conversations are like a ballgame; you have someone's full attention. The same conversation seems to take ages via text.

Mind you, I dislike voice-mail. Then I'd rather get a text. Oh, and I don't mind sexting at all!

I just like having a face and their expression to go with the sound of one’s voice. Ironically a lot of people say text is hard to discern tone from but I find it easier than a phone call.

I prefer sexting in person by far

Theres so much context and timing that gets lost and forgotten when you look at a txt retroactively. For work, I will overthink what I'm planning to say before a call, but once they answer auto-pilot kicks on and the messages go acrossed. Cadence is disintegrated and the tone goes flat in a txt. Its like reading lyrics to your favorite songs

Work emails take me forever to construct, it will be scrutinized retroactively

I remember that, I think they got pulled from Pluto when Amazon bought the rights. I just hope that never happens with the MST3K and Rifftrax channels!

When I was a kid TBS used to have the 15 days of 007 in December, I saw the vast majority of them from those marathons. Between stupid school and the inevitable need to sleep certain movies I’d catch a dozen times, others were elusive, I used to just press record on my VCR when I’d leave or sleep and tape over VHS tapes until it got something I hadn’t seen. Keeping in mind I had no real idea the release order at the time, and early 00s cable TV guide was just an excruciatingly slow scroll that you could only see an hour ahead of. God I feel like grandpa Simpson telling a story lol

Indeed!
Plus Roger Moore is my favorite Bond.

I figured I'd post here vs adding more Bond talk in the Picture thread...

Big surprise last night! Just yesterday Pluto TV brought back the 007 channel! It plays all the bond movies in order with commercials. If I recall there are maybe one or two of the movies they don't have. Hope they keep it around for a while. I have every James Bond movie but rarely ever put one on, for some reason I really enjoy watching them on "TV".

Cheers!

This. My VM greeting for work says, "if you want a faster response, please send a text message to this number."

Don't forget to set your clocks back tonight, day light saving time ends. Worse freaking day of the year, I never get used to it!

I hate it even more in March when I lose an hour of sleep!

I’ll take the dark mornings over the 4 o clock sunset any day. I remember a lot of serious talk about doing away with daylight savings previous years but not so much this year. Seemed like the one thing both parties were behind too.

We used to go to the strip club; 2am magically becomes 1am, so one more hour of fun!
We did that all thru the 80's and 90's.
All those chix would be in their 60's, lol.
