TEXTING CAN BE FATAL...

A 14-year-old Polk County boy is waiting to cross a busy road with friends in Polk County. Cops say the boy is texting, isn't paying attention and walked into the path of a car. Smack! The car slams into the teen and he dies.

How sad.

But, you know what? I'm surprised these sort of deadly accidents don't happen more often. People are nuts with this texting stuff. They text at the movies. They text in public restrooms. I even see lots of folks texting and driving!

Enough already!

Here's some friendly advice. If you're walking across busy streets, driving a car or even operating farm machinery - do not text. It can be hazardous to your health.

Bring it. But please, don't text me!

I agree whole heartedly. I think that what we have is that people are so self absorbed they don't even realize the danger they are putting themselves and those around them in.

An old saying, small things amuse small minds.
While my heart goes out to the family and their loss it is a sign to everyone that as rottweiler stated, There is a time and a place for everything.
But as I tell my daughter thats a phone and phones are made for making phonecalls.

My schedule used to be so busy that I'd practice my trumpet in the car while driving to and from gigs. So I guess I really can't throw stones on this one.

Really, are we that busy? If we are, then we need to step back and take a breath or two.

What happened to just calling someone and telling them what you have to say instead of criptic lingo mumbo jumbo crap texting?
