Hashtags?

Growing up they were called Pound Signs.

I refuse to call them 'hashtags'.....I laugh and ask people, What is up with the tic-tac-toe things?

I don't understand 'facebook' and do not ask me to look, post or join.

I don't want to see photos of

Nice weather when it's snowing in my back yard.
Your kid's b-day party, first anything.
Vacations?

-----------------

Vacations? A few months ago you were complaining about money and how much you were suffering because you couldn't afford to buy XXXXXXXX.

And yesterday you mention that you posted the photos your flying vacation to a theme park- on facebook.......

Lawyer commercials on the tube.

Kinda a win-win for them?

To a musician they are "sharp" signs - put it next to a note and you play it a half-step up. I don't mind them calling it hashtag in that usage, what I mind is people saying "hashtag whatever" in spoken conversations, like they are being clever.

cassiesmom, I do think whether or not people use the garage for the car actually has several contributing factors - size being the most important. The house on the corner of our street when we lived at the old house was newly built, so the builders put in one side of the garage big enough for a Hummer, and the other side still big but not THAT big! And I never saw their cars NOT in the garage. But I have been in garages so small that that car technically would fit, but you cannot open the door to get out of the car. And know people who will not park in a garage that is under or attached to a house because they have heard of or know someone whose car started a house fire. Lastly, I do know one person who is mildly claustrophobic, and so claims his car doesn't like being in confined spaces!

Just saying, it is not always a matter of too much stuff!
