Dave D and Google SMS

[Caradana]

Hey, two quick subjects for a stellar Friday morning (weather is amazing, although staying up till 4 AM last night with sangria was a bad move. Oh well. You live, you learn. Ha)

1. Dave D: this is the swimmer I've talked about in the past, now a paraplegic - anyway, his site is much-loved, and his journal reflects a depth of character and humor that is so admirable given his situation. Check it out: www.davedenniston.com

2. Google SMS - have you guys tried that out yet? It's an AMAZING tool. You can get weather instantly for any city in America via text message by sending "weather [zipcode]" or "weather [city state]" to "46645" (spells "googl" on your keypad). You can also get white pages, yellow pages ... I put in "pizza 10014" and got a pizza place in my neighborhood, address and number, instantly. Try it, it's fun!

Thanks for the info on Google SMS.

No idea but it is a thread from 18 years ago and the OP was last here in 2015...............LOL. There are lots of ways to lookup thing online. Find the sites that work best for you.

Saw this and thought @Caradana stopped back to say hello. But alas, just an 18 year old resurrected thread. If you're out there, Dana, a shout out. Don't be a stranger.

And @Mimi Q, likewise, a shout out to you also.

I haven't heard anyone using google sms anymore. Now they have voip etc etc

Isn't google sms "text messaging"? I use it multiple times a day. VOIP is a voice call.
