While “texting” used to mean sending SMS messages, the term has been expanded to cover really most messaging services that many of us use on a daily basis. Fortunately, the word “texting” has pretty long legs and still does cover most of the things we might use it for.
The “Funny Texts” Facebook page is dedicated to both the amusing messages that people have sent and relatable memes in general. So get comfortable as you scroll through, upvote your favorites, and be sure to comment your thoughts below.

That one hits me hard. Watched it happen to my Great Grandmother. I suspect it runs in the family so she won't be the last.
The core of a good meme, beyond humor or creativity, is that kernel of relatability. Richard Dawkins, who coined the phrase meme, envisioned it as a viral idea that spread from person to person much like a virus. However, what he didn’t expect was the fact that much of this information would center around humor and that the internet is an incredibly potent vector for “infection.”
Part of the appeal is that the ideas carried by the meme either focus on a shared experience or emotion or work with familiar information and context. This comes from the high degree of intertextuality that memes possess. After all, we can generally understand the situations depicted in memes through our own life experiences, other memes, or just general knowledge of the world.
At a certain point, memes have become self-referential. If you have ever had to explain a meme to an older relative or someone “less online,” you will know that internet lore is deep. Some memes require a person to understand multiple other references, just to understand the context needed to enjoy certain memes.
It's always fun to get each other up to date about all the chaos that has happened in our lives in between chats
Every evening I fall asleep on the couch for about 30 minutes before I go upstairs to bed to fall asleep
The sleepiness feeling you get from the couch is different, when I was a kid I always did that to be rudely awakened by my siblings to go upstairs, I said to myself, “ when I get older and have my own place this won’t happen anymore “, now my husband says, you need to go upstairs “
No kidding that is so much true. My best technique is going to bed saying myself i dont want to sleep, im gonna finish this book ! And i fall asleep in minutes... Brain is a b***h, like a kid he always wants the opposite. *Also work when you go out. Just say to yourself that you have to party till 2am ! And suddenly you are tired at 11pm.
I've read that that's a proven technique to fall asleep. You tell yourself that you're trying to stay awake and it tricks your brain.

True. When I go to bed my brain starts remembering stuff that happened when I was in first grade.
I've been listening to the same book every night for a few years. It's a collection of stories and is 60 hours long so it doesn't get too monotonous... it's comfortable. I force myself to listen and I'm out. Without it to focus on my brain is bouncing off the walls.

Sitting up in a chair. I even tried to make my bed sit up (it's a temporpedic) but it didn't work.
My method of getting to sleep is to try to remember lists of things in alphabetical order. I never get to Z. I try not to remember some of the things that have happened in the past.
It's been a couple of decades of falling asleep for a few hours in my recliner, getting up to pee, and then going to bed.
I never fall asleep on the couch....I just can't. I can only fall asleep in my bed. I also can't fall asleep in cars, trains, planes and it's hard for me to sleep in hotels so yeah....vacations aren't very fun.
I always take my pillow with me when I travel. I actually took it with me when I went to the Dominican Republic. It really helps.

I feel this and my couch isn't even that comfortable
I think it has to do with the fact you're mindlessly doing something (watching tv) on the couch so your brain can easily shut down because it's occupied with watching something. In bed, you're laying there and for some people (especially me) it's hard to turn your brain off if there is nothing to distract you.
100%. I noted above how I listen to a book I've heard before to focus my brain. Works like a charm

It's not the money going out to inconsequentials, it's the fact that every generation since the boomers has been consistently underpaid.
Was in Lidl the other day and a woman was wondering where the lettuce was. I pointed and said "Iceburg deåd ahead" I couldn't resist myself. We both laughed so all was good 👍
My mother also. Used to pick her up every Saturday for breakfast and shopping. Pulled in the driveway one beautiful summer day and she opened the door, holding her phone, saying "Oh...nevermind. She's here now." When she got in the car I asked who she was talking to and she said "The police." I asked WHY??? and she said because I was late and I was never late so she thought something happened. I replied that I had TOLD her I'd be late because I had a dentist appointment. She said "Ohhhh....that's right! Where do you want to go to eat?".
If he ate it all without noticing, it obviously wasn't any worse than what he was used to.
Omg I feel this. My parents performed only the required parenting duties which did not include extra curriculars, displays of love, compassion, encouragement etc. and I love them but my adult life has been very difficult to navigate.
Well what's your plan for November then? Should use it well because it sounds like your only days off the whole year
"Ya went and broke my only rule" - line I love from song that was rhymed with "I refuse to be your fool"
I tell my daughter this but she’s too busy hoping her bf is something he’s not so it goes in one ear and out the other. I hope she realizes before she puts ten years in waiting for change.
My brother did that until he died 3 years ago. I aspire to his example.
I'm at the wealth level where I have a panic attack and suck it up and get back to work in ten minutes. Yeah that happened today. Panic attacks suck.
18 years in hospital, emergency department. S****y painful exhausting job. But i miss the hundreds of colleagues i had, i miss the laughs, the pranks, the jokes...
Unfortunately for the rest of us, 15 year olds exist and now I feel very old.

The title " This Page Shares Hilarious Posts And Texts, Here Are The 97 Best Ones" is very misleading there was maybe one funny in this whole batch. The rest was all some kind of wallowing in introspection.
