Here are the problems that I had with the story… “ … taking a breather during this, her first rock climb” does not work with “on a rock ledge, hundreds of feet from the bottom and hundreds of feet to the top of this cliff,” That doesn’t sound like a likely location for a “first rock climb”. I am sure Brenda must have had practice on previous rock climbs to gain the skills and courage to attack this “tremendous granite cliff.” The photo also looks very unlikely. It looks like the ant photo that I found is simply a doctored image. It looks like either that is an extremely HUGE ant or Brenda has extremely tiny contacts. I would expect a contact to be about 3 times the body length of most ants. Additionally, if the ant chose to simply lay the contact on its back, instead of gripping on to it with their mouth or arms or whatever they do, the process of walking is going to shift the weight of the contact around and it will fall off the ant’s back. Certainly the weight of a contact should not be a problem for one of God’s most amazing creatures, so if the ant had a grasp somehow, this could be possible. I don’t see any kind of grasp though, so, I remain un-convinced by the photo. Additionally, I would think that through the course of time, ants should have acquired instincts by now to avoid lenses wherever possible. Just the same as every 10 year old boy has acquired the instincts to know that there are cool things that you can do to ants with magnifying glasses. If you don’t know what I am talking about, ask any 10 year old boy who has played with a magnifying glass. As much as I would like to believe the inspirational story, I am afraid that I do not believe this to be a “True Story.” You can accuse me of blasphemy, but my observations should in no way be interpreted as a scrutiny of Philippians 4:13. Just the story. <i> who thought it was a true story? I think you have too much time on your hands. I hope you are playing so I'm laughing with you and not at you.</i> This is a fun story that would be fun to believe, but it didn’t get past my scrutinizer!

I tell people, in my own rules for texting etiquette, if it takes more than 3 short texts back and forth, you need to just call me. LOL! Texting is my pet peeve.

Blocked it. You are right, this technology thing is making the world even more impersonal.

Sending a bill is quite classic, so I may have to remember to use it. I have a great text msg. pkg, plus the husband and no longer have a land line in our home. We amped our minutes so we wouldn't be charged for overage and this arrangement is working out fine. No more side-eye when the cell phone bill comes. WE actually are under in our minutes (plus we have unlimited text messaging). Texting is my favorite pasttime. =&gt; I teeter on the technology making communication impersonale, however, SMS is a form of communication.

It annoys me, and I'm not paying for a text message package for one person to send me messages when they can just call me. I just had to tell my best friend yesterday to stop texting me.
