BBJ, I wasn't criticizing you or your texting, I'd just noticed that a lot of people have this texting issue. The spouse leaves but somehow stays in continual touch through texting. It'a hard to get them out of your head when they are in this continual texting mode. It's just too easy for them to always be there. I think also texting is so effortless that they can just whip things off without much thought. Anyway, I guess there are both pros and cons to texttopia!
