The older I get the dumber I feel and I really hate feeling dumb. At one point in my life I thought I had all the answers, but I now realize I didn’t know diddly. I bet I’m the only person that doesn’t even own a cell phone and I certainly don’t know how to text using one. Bill has a Tracfone and we only use it for emergencies and it came in handy when I went to Kentucky by myself.

I am definitely not up on the latest gadgets and I really can’t see spending all that money for things I know absolutely nothing about nor actually need except something basic for emergencies. We do find the Tracfone very economic because we can add the minutes we need as we go and no service charges. Now that I like and you will never find a cell phone stuck to my ear anywhere or at any time.

I was going to get Bill the double minutes for the phone he has now, but I saw they had a camera phone with double minutes for the life of the phone package and the whole thing only cost 52 dollars so I ordered that instead so he can send pictures to his brother-in-law in Ohio when he’s at swap meets because they are always looking for a deal for their bikes.

So I guess I will inherit his old phone for my use so now I can say I own a cell phone, wow I’m moving up in the gadget world after all. I don’t even like talking on our land phone, but I can see that a cell phone can be very useful for emergencies and Bill gets a kick out of it. I just hope his new phone will last awhile since it is reconditioned, but I liked the double minute deal for the life of the phone so long as it lasts longer than a couple months.

I must be the only person that doesn’t have a cell phone stuck to my ear. It doesn’t matter where I go everyone is talking on their cell phone and many are so rude and inconsiderate especially the ones driving their cars and talking at the same time. They really should ban cell phone usage while driving there are way too many accidents because of them and no cell phones at check outs in stores it’s very confusing for clerks trying to do their jobs. Okay rant over.

Uggghhhhh! This girl is a techo-nerd all the way, and have every kind of techo-thing you can imagine… and I’m about ready to THROW MY CELL PHONE OFF A BRIDGE.

We’re getting ready to move and the last WEEK has been one, long, non-stop phone call. Most of these calls are very time-sensitive so I’ve given out my cell and have to answer it all day long. Uggghhh! Every time it rings I have to stifle the urge to scream and fling it out the car window.

Even hubby called tonight from the road and I basically said, “I’m very sorry but I absolutely cannot talk on the phone any more today.”

I’m sure this week has given me brain cancer. Sure of it.

I am beginning to wonder if it possible to be addicted to cell phones. My husband is physically incapable of NOT answering the phone whenever it rings. And being the social butterfly he is, it rings ALL THE TIME!

You are not alone about not owning a cell phone. My daughters and friends tell me all the time you need to get a cell phone. No I don’t! I don’t want to be the one that causes an accident while driving. I am at home most all day, call me there. I do have a life away from a telephone.
