As a senior, is texting confusing for you?

If, so, here are a few ideas to help you get going.

SENIORS TEXTING CODE.....ATD..At The Doctors. BFF..Best Friend Fell. BTW..Bring the Wheelchair. BYOT..Bring Your Own Teeth. FWIW..Forgot Where I Was. GGPBL..Gotta Go Pacemaker Battery Low. GHA..Got Heartburn Again. IMHO..Is My Hearing-Aid On. LMDO..Laughing My Dentures Out. OMMR..On My Massage Recliner. OMSG ..Oh My! Sorry, Gas. ROFLACGU....Rolling On Floor Laughing And Can't Get Up. TTYL..Talk To You Louder.

I stole this from my friend Joyce (hope she doesn't mind!) It was just too funny not to pass on.

Update:

Handypig, how in the heck could you get a TD for your answer??? I think you have a troll following you -- they really should get a life. . . . . oh, wait, you are their life!

Update 2:

After reading some of your answers (great ones), I have to admit I don't text and don't even know how. My grandson showed me how to text about 2 years ago and I haven't sent a text since then! However, I needed to post a question so that I could also post this Seniors Texting Code. This has been great fun -- thanks for all the wonderful answers!

    I do not know how to Text Message and it is just as well because I would probably incur a huge bill if I did.

    What ever I do I go big!lol

    I leave all that to the younger generation and besides I cannot see the letters too darn small.

    Hey I can txt! I can put the names in my new cell phone. :) That's texting. Rght? But that's about the extent of mine. After I've had a few more cellphone upgrades, maybe I'll be able to text two letters at a time? ha

    How come spell check thought I spelled 'texting' wrong? They don't have texting in their dictionary? lol

    This is one I saw and thought was really funny. Those are outrageously funny, and thanks for the laughs, (ROFL), but I do not text. My daughters taught me some of these, but I only use them on the computer.
