MEG'S FIRST POST...



to a website (other than the EFB), sent on her own volition to the PalmAddicts website....







Hello,



I use my palm pilot almost every day. I usually use Novii Animator, Hot Lines, Hot Worm,Air Ball, Hangman and Monopoly. I hope Dominick (was it?) likes his palm pilot when he gets it. Oh I like writing poetry. I thought maybe I could write a poem about palm pilots and you could put it on your palm addicts website.



Title: Palm Addiction



Tom

Is calm

On the palm

But when he gets off

He begins to cough

Then he takes a rest

Tries not to be stressed

Next he gets back on

'Til the morning dawn

There is nothing I can say

To get him away

From his palm



Hope you liked it!



Sincerely Meg Ehman (eleven year old)

THOUGHT: More on Young Palm Users

Thanks to everyone who responded to my question about young Palm users... I particularly enjoyed the story about the 11-year-old who beams pictures to her Dad. How nice! Since it looks like I might be buying a Palm for Dominick by next Christmas, I'd like to know what programs young Palm users like best and use most.If you know a Palm user between the age of 3-12, will you please share their favorite/best/most-used programs? Thanks!

Scriptures According to Jab



Little Mary was not the best student in Sunday School. Usually she slept through the class.



One day the teacher called on her while she was napping, ''Tell me, Mary, who created the universe?'' When Mary didn't stir, little Johnny, an altruistic boy seated in the chair behind her, took a pin and jabbed her in the rear. ''God Almighty !'' shouted Mary and the teacher said, ''Very good'' and Mary fell back to sleep.



A while later the teacher asked Mary, ''Who is our Lord and Savior?'' But Mary didn't even stir from her slumber. Once again, Johnny came to the rescue and stuck her again. ''Jesus Christ!'' shouted Mary and the teacher said, ''Very good,'' and Mary fell back to sleep.



Then the teacher asked Mary a third question, ''What did Eve say to Adam after she had her twenty-third child?'' And again, Johnny jabbed her with the pin. This time Mary jumped up and shouted, ''If you stick that damn thing in me one more time, I'll break it in half!'' The Teacher fainted.

Hey dad

Are you sad

Or are you glad?



Hey dad

Are you down

Or is that not a frown?



Hey dad

Are you up

Want a cup?



Hey dad

Need some love

From above?



Hey dad

Want a cake

Want to bake?



Hey dad

Need some money

Or some honey?



Hey dad

Are you here

Are you there?



Hey dad

I love you!

I wake up

I say 'sup

To my little cat

More like a big rat

I get dressed

Don't look so stressed

I need more rest man



Brush the hair

Brush the teeth

Watch What Lies Beneath

On Monday

The dumb day

Well that's what I say

Anyway



Go down stairs

Put two pears

In my lunch bag

That has a white stag

On the front

Too jet lagged to do some crazy stunt

Like Jackie Chan



Get on the bus

With no fuss

Hey don't trip me

Just let me be

Alone

By myself

That's how I like it you elf



Get to school sorta late

Hey that's great!

Except for

Detention

Writing lines

A hundred times

Non stop man



At lunch

With a bunch

Of friends

From my class

But they won't last

So what's new

They aren't true



Walking home

All alone

But who cares

I said I like it like that right?

Cross the street

And my feet

Are hurting badly



Slam the door shut

With my butt

Drop my bag

As I drag myself

Up the stairs

So who cares

That I'm so tired.



the next day.....



I wake up

I say 'sup

To my little cat

More like a big rat.



-Meg

My daughter-in-law Leslie

I must confess'ly

Is not very mess'ly.



She's so ambitious

Cooks food delicious

Does all the dishes.



She's wonderf'ly

Motherly

Loves Meg nearly smotherly.



That's my d-i-l Leslie

Non-mess'ly Leslie

A woman quite special-ly.



-Grandma Jan

there once was a silly blue bird

who was smart but rather absurd

he chased the cats

and ran from the rats

perhaps the bird was a nerd.



P.S. U can change the ending if u want, dad, but don't add this p.s. on the blog with this poem.



-Meg

It's night time and I'm lonely

The dark just creeps me out

I think of skeletons-very boney

And a dragon with a pig snout



It's getting very late now

I wish I could just be asleep

I can hear my parents having a big row

But know that it won't keep



My eyes are getting heavy

My monsters start to disappear

The good dreams overtake me

Sleep is getting near



Now the row is over

I feel someone kiss my cheek

A whisper says good night

As I finally fall asleep.

Today I posted this on PalmAddicts website, perhaps the best Palm-user site....



Daily Palm, views & rants updated multiple times a day



In response to the question asked in a post today: Do you know a young person who owns a Palm? How old is the youngest Palm owner/user you know?



Guess that would be my 11yo daughter, Meg. She has had a Palm for a number of years, at least since she was 7 or 8. Normally when I get a new Palm the old one goes to my wife; in turn hers gets handed down to our daughter.



This has been going on since 1999. I have been through a few -- can't recall the exact order of the early ones but something like Palm Pilot, Palm 1000 and Palm Pro; then a III, IIIx IIIc, m500, m515, TT and now a T3. My wife wanted a Palm with camera so for Cmas I got her a Zire 71 which she loves, which meant Meg ended up with my TT when I got the T3.



Meg is quite good at Graffiti (and, like most of the rest of us, much prefers G1), stores phone numbers and email addresses for a handful of her friends which I set up to sync to her laptop's Outlook Express using Chapura's neat little Jibe app (too bad it doesn't work with the T3!), writes and stores poetry on the Palm in the memo pad, and has tried to keep her diary on it but prefers to write that out longhand in a cute book her grandmother gave her.



Of course she mostly uses the Palm for games. Her favorites are mostly the old standbys: Air Ball, Chess, Checkers, Tetris, Hangman, Hot Lines, IR Pong and IR Battleship. She has a lot of fun teasing her friends and our adult friends with the clever handwriting joke-analysis app "MB Handwriting." She and I play together with BlueChat and BlueBoard (which work between our two Palms using Bluetooth), and likewise we use BT to play Handmark's two great board games for the Palm -- Monopoly and Scrabble.



When she has a friend over and I am home she gives her Palm to her friend and borrows mine so they can play IR and BT games. Guess when I get my next PDA she can have the T3 and, LOL, keep the TT as a "guest" PDA.



But her favorite program by far, of which I am enamored as well, is NoviiAnimator. She has spent many hours creating amazing little animations, birthday and holiday cards, etc., which she will then "give" to her friends or beam (using FileZ) to my wife and myself. When on the road I love to look at her sweet, loving "I love you Daddy" animations/cards almost as much as looking at the pictures of her I carry in my Palm (SplashPhoto rocks! -- much preferred to the "Photos" app supplied with the T3).

The Grandma Poem



there once was a little old gramma

who lived with her little old llama

they tanned in the sand

by the beach all day

and there's nothin' you can say to get her away

from the ice cream cones

in different tones

like rasberry pink

and a strawbery drink

but the thing she loves

is the pretty white doves

and her little tiny

teencie weencie

granddaughter

Meg!
