    texas sent one of those out. an emergency alert to the entire damn state that someone was hiding out at the libary after shooting at (not hitting) a cop. practically the entire damn state was ready to turn up to help them run away because the text woke them up at 4 am

    I almost never get texts from friends, which is okay. Because I know we're tight and when we get together it's all cool.

    But last night at 1:38 a.m. I get a text from my bud saying hey want to go to the gym with me tomorrow?. Which I didn't see until I awoke.

    Dude probably sent that on beer 28.

    I actually now hate getting any form of communication that social convention requires I reply too.

    You know, there's also a thing called "do not disturb" (it's always on with me and only wifey can get through).

    Or the hardcore "airplane mode".

    I wish. Any morning where there isn't a major catastrophe or some "fire" to put out is an excellent morning.

    Zero notifications?! Don't threaten me with a good time.

    Just how I like it. Low key, drink my coffee, work, do my errands, play video games, go to bed.

    My favorite.

    What's your number? I'll text you. I'm lonely though so you might regret your wish. My texts have been known to get a little verbose.

    I have a free texting app which I use for dating, because I don't want crazy women to have my real number up front.

    (431) 803-0202

    Feel free to shoot a message

    May I ask how did you get that number? I would like to have a number like that too.

    I typed in "free text" into my app store and then installed. When I created an account with a fake email, I got to choose from a rotating batch of free local numbers. They expire if you don't use it frequently. Also they bombard you with ads.

    Hollowed eye sockets beneath the sunglasses. With eyes removed, no more notifications.

    The proper phrase is " Take a flying fuck at a rolling donut."

    The only person left in my life who texts me is my adult son, who lives with me. So, if he texts me, it's something important-ish.

    If I'm contacted these days by my sisters or brother, it's because someone died, or is in grave condition in the hospital.

    I live a quiet, low-stress life, and I love it. It took a long time to get here.

    waking up to zero missed calls because i answer the phone and talk to telemarketers in my sleep. fortunately i don't have any credit numbers memorized well enough (and never will praise Rustle) to remember them in my sleep.

    I get notifications from exactly five kinds:

    • Work
    • My mom
    • My bank trying to rope me into a credit or an insurance
    • A group for autistic adults even I am too anxious to post in, because they all somehow have friends and I don't
