Makes me shudder to think what things will be like 100 years from now! I wonder if we'll be on the same track, or if there will be some sort of counter reaction. Good point, Steven.

How are you." rather than the tried-and-true "Busy." I find myself lazily using that phrase too often as well. Kammie, I love the idea of saying, “I’m great!

I like these points, from Edward Hallowell's book "CrazyBusy: Overstretched, Overbooked, and About to Snap! Strategies for Coping in a World Gone ADD": * fast: a modern synonym for good * slow: a synonym for agonizing (really slow), boring (ordinarily slow), or of poor quality (merely lacking speed) Nice post!

I realized that my response lately to "How have you been?"...has been, "Good. Just REALLY busy!"...What the heck is THAT? You know what else I noticed? It puts people off. Like they don't quite know how to respond. Granted, I have been busy, but I've also been enjoying the fruits of my labor. I've also been spending more quality time with family, and friends. I've just been living a full life! I'm all about language, and your post and Seth's have both made me realize that my word choice stinks! A simple, "I'm Great! How are YOU?" would be a much better response. Thanks for the reminder. Kammie K. Jason,

I got really tired of the competition of "busyness," trying to prove all the time how important I was because of all the THINGS I had to do. Bah. I really try now 1) not to be too busy and 2) not to attempt to one-up other people with my very important busyness.
