That shit ain't shit, I do about that amount EVERY month... See, I work for the company and get UNLIMITED text messages, so all of my AOL and Yahoo instant messages go to my phone while I am at work, so I sometimes have involved conversations while at work... 100 messages with at-length conversations is nothing flat.

... this all takes root from the summer of 2003 when my jaw was broken and I couldn't TALK on the phone

People "Doctors" say that text messages are bad to scare people. They try to get everyone to stop sending them. Hello? If they where so bad, you wouldn't want to type anymore, play San Andreas on PS2, or play Halo2 on Xbox. ;)

I've sent a lot of text messages in my day and my fingers are fine.
