"Danny, I never hear from you anymore."
I called you last week. But you didn't call me back.
"I never know where to call you."
I've had the same phone number for five years.
"But you move around so much!"
I have a cell phone.
"Oh, I don't have a cell phone."
You don't need a cell phone to call my cell phone. It works just like a regular phone.
"Then why do you have a cell phone?"
Because I move around so much.
"I know. You should settle down, I never know where to call you."
I get the same thing... can you imagine when you are that old?

Dear Dan, just curious. What do you think of perezhilton.com? Is it legitimate?

Just tell her to email you. My 89 year old grandmother loves her email. (Her homepage is the vatican website.)

Dear Dan, can you recommend me a good car insurance company? Also, what brand of butter do you use?

My grandmother still made 'person to person' long distance calls until she died in 1999. If you don't know what these calls are, they originated in the 1940s when operators still connectd every call - they would call a location and not start charging until that person got on the line...

It's so difficult for some older people to grasp modern technology.

Reminds me of the conversations with my grandma:
me - "Hi grandma, how are you?
gramma - "WHAT?!?!"
me - "...I said HI, HOW ARE YOU"
gramma - "WHAT DID YOU SAY HONEY?"
me - "HOW'S EVERYTHING GOING?"
gramma - "NO, I'M NOT FALLING DOWN, I'm SITTING DOWN, HOW ARE YOU?"
me - "I'm good gramma"
gramma - "WHAT?"
Imagine that for half an hour per person...for 6 people...definitely interesting...;)
I love my titus...

You all are making me miss all 4 of my grandparents... at least she knows your name still.
When my granddad was in the home and couldn't hear the upper tones very well, so I stumbled upon the secret. I would lower my voice, talk like a baritone guy as much as possible, and he could hear me. I got some really strange looks from the nursing assistants who would walk by, but it put a smile on Gramps' face, so it was worth the sore throat.
Kel, I'm very impressed with your grandmother. My granddad used to make me type out the emails he dictated (his email was actually through my computer and my account). She actually does her own, and uses websites! (Although the current pope scares the crap out of me)

Dear Dan,
You seem like the sort of guy to be concerned about dental hygiene. What sort of toothbrush do you use? And do you brush your teeth in the shower or in the sink?
Interested people would like to know.

oh, you really should get a cell phone

Erica - My Grandmother's emails are usually timed at like 3 and 4 in the morning, I'm wondering if she's looking up porn and the Vatican website is a cover.
Stefanie - Dan uses Sprakle-Bright toothpaste, the same kind Star Jones uses. It has diamond dust mixed in it and you can get it at Saks, Neimen's and Bergdorfs.

Isn't circular logic awesome!
Your grandma sounds very sweet.

our Grammy calls and says - Is K there? He called me.
and I say - No Grammy, K is in Africa, on a business trip...are you sure he called you?
and she says - Well, I heard his voice on my answering machine.
and I say - That's because he made the tape for you Grammy!

I appreciate the response about the toothpaste, that is interesting. But I want to know what kind of toothBRUSH he uses. Dental hygiene is important, and good looking people respect dental hygiene. It's proven..
