YOU KNOW YOU ARE LIVING IN 2009 when...

LIVING IN 2009...

1. You accidentally enter your password on the microwave.

2 You haven't played solitaire with real cards in years.

3. You have a list of 15 phone numbers to reach your family of 3.

4. You e-mail the person who works at the desk next to you.

5. Your reason for not staying in touch with friends and family is that they don't have e-mail addresses/they are not on Facebook or on twitter.

6. You pull up in your own driveway and use your cell phone to see if anyone is home to help you carry in the groceries.

7. Every commercial on television has a web site at the bottom of the screen.

8. Leaving the house without your cell phone, which you didn't have the first 20 - 30 (or 60) years of your life, is now a cause for panic and you turn around to go and get it.

10. You get up in the morning and go on line before getting your coffee.

11. You start tilting your head sideways to smile. :)

12 You're reading this and nodding and laughing.

13. You are reading too fast that you didn’t even notice that there was no #9 on this list.

15. You actually scrolled back up to check that there wasn't a #9 on this list

###What other odd things do you see happening around in 2009 that didn’t experience 5, 10 years ago…?

when JU JU demands to know what is harmaphrodite in Sepedi.....there is no such thing....a child is either a boy or girl, that word does not exist in rural areas....
"we told chuene not to apologise for lying,apologise for what? "

heh heh

Sowetan:

Malema insisted that Semenya is a woman because there is no hermaphrodite in Sepedi.

“Hermaphrodite, what is that? Somebody tell me, what is hermaphrodite in Pedi? There’s no such thing, hermaphrodite, in Pedi. So don’t impose your hermaphrodite concepts on us.

“You are either a woman or a man. When a child is born you say it is a baby girl or a boy. We have never heard in the village a child being announced, ‘we were given a hermaphrodite’,” Malema said.

“Why should we be told today our children are hermaphrodites? She’s a girl and why should we accept concepts that are imposed on us by the imperialists
