Wow… is my glass half empty or what??!!

  • 333.3 million per day

Texter = yes, sometimes. When I lived in the UK, used texting a lot more – but it is still dead handy when you just wnat to say something quick and direct to someone, and don’t need / want the wasted time on pleasantries if you make a phone call …
