While they're handy and all that, I don't feel deprived without one and there's no one I need to be connected with by phone 24/7.<br /><br />What you were doing with your cell is the same thing I do with my answering machine...if a caller leaves a message and it's crucially important or it's someone I really REALLY want to speak with at that time, I'll pick up, otherwise I get back to them when it's convenient for me.<br /><br />Like you I'm a little baffled by folks who have the phone stuck to the side of their heads for as long and often as they do. People driving motor vehicles while on their cell phones are ahazard to themselves and anyone else on the road... Sorry about the rant.<br /><br />I hope your Canada Day was a wonderful day for you and your fellow Canadians...you folks deserve it!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6552102141653878906.post-24198525371081095872010-06-28T19:20:06.952-05:002010-06-28T19:20:06.952-05:00Hey Curtis, I don't blame you for not picking ...Hey Curtis, I don't blame you for not picking up the calls. I do it all the time and I don't even have caller ID. Usually it's bad timing or I just don't feel like talking. <br /><br />Cell phone...I just got one and have made maybe one real phone call. I'm just not a telephone kinda person. <br /><br />Hope you're having a great week.Cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17359737176822741054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6552102141653878906.post-6398518808481470492010-06-27T23:00:49.458-05:002010-06-27T23:00:49.458-05:00Thanks for stopping by and letting me know where y...Thanks for stopping by and letting me know where you are now; I wondered where you were. <br /><br />Nothing more irritating than someone calling at odd hours (unless it's someone I want to speak to - close friend, etc.) Thank goodness for caller ID. I don't have a land phone line any more, it's all cell for me. I didn't use the phone enough to justify the $120 per month and I love my cell phone service and it's a lot less than $120! <br /><br />Happy Canada Day to you!! *HUGS*Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05217980334187614772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6552102141653878906.post-33817251000130210912010-06-27T12:00:53.214-05:002010-06-27T12:00:53.214-05:00Omg, look at the size of that comment I left.

Just kidding, but it did ring and was my 85 yr old neighbor asking me why she had a paper today. I was wondering why she asked me ;) I love this neighborhood.<br />Temps are horrible. Another neighbor, Cheryl, brought me a squash from her garden. She said she had all of 3 before the heat killed them all. I'm afraid to even glance at my pepper plant now. Today was the first day I couldn't even stand on the grass in bare feet -- felt like a frying pan on high heat, sheesh.<br />Anyway, I'm the same as you on cell phones; all those ppl are crazy...talk, talk, talk, text, text, text. Hell, they probably haven't seen each other face to face in yrs. I mean why bother when you can text, right? Hello twilight zone. I have a cell but it's only for emergencies, like you said. I never use a cell just to talk; hardly ever use any phone just to talk; in person is so much better. <br />SOOOOO, you got the "wonder how the dinner was" call from the cleaning lady ("lady" used loosely here). Took some real nerve for her to call like nothing ever happened. I say send her back to the womb or at least kindergarten to learn some manners. I'm still ticked, lol. Ok little snot (you are NOT), time to take some fresh, cold water and a little treat out to my chipmuncks. They're actually sitting up on the porch to get out of the heat and waiting on their lunch. I'm such a sucker for all the critters :)JennyDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14329171741191991379noreply@blogger.com
