Step AWAY from the Computer

Yesterday I posted about my Mummy and her text messaging issues (http://luvmyshelltoes.blogspot.com/2008/04/if-your-mom-needs-cell-phone-get-her.html). The blog was a joke. I was by no means advocating Jitterbug as a company. I think the commercials are hilarious but some people spend way too much time in front of a computer, they miss the subtle nuances of comedic writing because they don't interact with people and they get all of their life experiences from the Internet. Here are two comments to the funny post about my mother and her text messaging:

I must disagree with the first reviewer, sound like he got a few $$$ from Jitterbug to post on the blog!! :) My father, now 70 and an engineer, had the Jitterbug phone and it was a complete disaster. The customer service was horrible, the plan was expensive (he actually used the phone - Jitterbug plan is great if you speak very very little), and phone looked like a toy. I don't like to bash companies but he tells me that a few of his friends had similar problems. To boot, turns out the company is venture backed, he didn't was to sign up and then have the company 'turn out' the lights. The big phone co's have their share of problems but Jitterbug has a long way to go if it doesn't run out of $$.

I agree with the second reviewer....Jitterbug is having lots of problems. I bought the phone for my mother as a gift, two weeks later she asked me to return it. She felt terrible but said the service was terrible and she just wanted a normal phone. No need reminding mom that she's getting old....I mean older!! ;)

Mark and Straight -- you two really should leave the computer and go to a bar or a club or a lounge SOMETHING where human interaction exists and you start to once again understand what it means to be KIDDING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
